It has been more than a month since Shadow and Bone made its series debut, and now Netflix has announced that they have officially renewed Eric Heiserrer’s popular fantasy series adaptation of Shadow and Bone for another eight-episode second season. According to the streamer, the first season proved to be an instant hit for them as it has been watched by more than 55 million member households during its first 28 days. The announcement also came with the release of a new Shadow and Bone video which you can check out below, featuring the main cast including Jesse Mei Li and Ben Barnes as they share their excitement for the renewal.
“I’m honored and thrilled to return to the Grishaverse and continue the stories of these endearing characters, particularly Milo,” Heisserer said in a statement (via Deadline).
“I’ve been writing in the Grishaverse for nearly ten years now, so I’m thrilled we get to keep this adventure going,” author and executive producer Leigh Bardugo said. There are so many places we’ve barely gotten to visit and I can’t wait to introduce our audience to more of the saints, soldiers, thugs, thieves, princes, and privateers who make this world so much fun to explore. It’s going to be real magic to see our brilliant, talented cast expand.”
