Shadow And Bone is loved globally as a novel by the brilliant Leigh Bardugo. But for the fans of the bestselling book, exciting new times are on the horizon. All this is due to the imminent release of an adapted TV series, which will be produced by Netflix.
Netflix is always in for a fair catch when it some to adaptations and plots. Whether it be video games or a foreign series or as it is in this case, a book. This Three Hundred and Fifty-Eight-page first novel of the series provides the creators with ample content to create a gripping universe.
The fantasy-adventure genre never gets old or dry. No matter where we look, we’ll find a fantasy project of some sort. Maybe the genre needs a shake-up, like a lot of other genres do after a long time in constant use, but perhaps it doesn’t. Fantasy itself is an avenue for immense creativity and unique additions that it stays fresh.
When is the series expected to debut?
Netflix commissioned Shadow and Bone as a green light in January of last year. Although since then the official twitter handle has kept us all posted with all the latest news. On February 28th 2024, the news came out that the filming for the season one is wrapped up and ready to go.
However, after a period of silence, reports suggested that the project will need additional filming time. This news broke in August, i.e. well into the pandemic period. So those additional set-pieces will be completed in Vancouver, Canada. Schedule projections suggested that the filming will finally end on October 9th, 2024.
At the moment any predictions about the release date will be mere speculation. However, in usual circumstances, Shadow and Bone fans could expect a launch in early 2024.
The theme of Shadow and Bone:-
Shadow and Bone is a hugely successful three-book series penned by Leigh Bardugo.
The first book in the series isn’t dark, but the second and third are. At the beginning of Shadow and Bone, the protagonist, Alina, is very insecure, and she has some “does-he-have-any-feelings-for-me” moments. Still, she goes through massive character development later, especially in book 2 & beginning of book 3.
Also in later books, there are more dark themes, like hunger for power & losing yourself in that hunger. Also, more brutality than in Shadow and Bone. So, it depends on whether you are a patient reader and are willing to wait for darker themes.
