After a few teasing glimpses, Netflix has finally debuted a full trailer for the second season of Shadow and Bone.
A loose adaptation of the first book in Leigh Bardugo's worldwide best-selling Grisha trilogy, Shadow and Bone is set in a fantastical war-torn world and focuses on a young girl with mysterious powers who must learn to harness her abilities in order to save her people from an all-encompassing darkness.
If that sounds more than a little familiar, well, it is! The story isn't going to win any points for originality, but it is a very well-made adaptation, and fans of the novels have been receptive to the show.
In season 2, Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) is on the run after attempting to bring down the Shadow Fold and save Ravka. However, General Kirigan (Ben Barnes) has returned, and this time he has an army of shadow monsters as back-up.
"Shadow and Bone finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha. But as she struggles to hone her power, she finds that allies and enemies can be one and the same and that nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. There are dangerous forces at play, including a crew of charismatic criminals, and it will take more than magic to survive."
Shadow and Bone returns to Netflix for its second season on March 16. Will you be tuning in?
