The long wait for the fans of ‘Shadow and Bone’ has come to an end, because Netflix The second season of this ambitious fantasy series has finally premiered. No one doubted that we would see her at some point, but then It’s been almost two years since its premiere on the platform for the arrival of a new batch of episodes.
This adaptation of the Grishaverse, a popular literary universe created by Leigh Bardugohas returned with 8 new episodes that have been well received by critics, as it has achieved 87% positive ratings on RottenTomatoes, just 2% lower than its predecessor, while on Metacritic it has 7.3 average grade, thus exceeding the 6.8 of the first installment.
Of course, on Netflix it became clear for a long time that what is really important is its operation in audiences and that will be what dictates the sentence. In fact, it will be decisive in more aspects, because eric heisserershowrunner of the series and Oscar nominee at the time for the script of the great ‘Arrival’, has recently revealed that he has been working on the spin-off for some time ‘Six of Crows’ and that its existence or not will depend on how well season 2 of ‘Shadow and Bone’ does.
What will we see in season 2 of ‘Shadow and Bone’
For now we will have to wait until next Tuesday to have the first audience data of the second installment of ‘Shadow and Bone’, but if you still haven’t dared to see it, then I leave you both the trailer of the new episodes and their official synopsis:
A beacon of hope to some and a suspected traitor to others, Alina is determined to bring down the Shadowfold and save Ravka from ruin. But this time, General Kirigan is backed by a terrifying new army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits. Not even a few battle scars on the face can stop this Dark One’s wrath. To stand a chance against him, Alina and Mal must gather their powerful new allies and embark on a journey across continents to find two mythical creatures that will amplify his powers.
Heisserer has promised that this second season will expand “both in mythology and in characters“So if you finished convincing us the first time, it might be a good idea give it another go to see if the series is done finding itself. I find myself in that situation and I’m going to try my luck to see if that’s the case, that with ‘Sandman’ I already connected in the final stretch of its first season and here I may just do it now.
