Everything About 'Shadow And Bone' Season 3: Release Date, Cast And Plot Revealed
Based on two series of books by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone is one of the hottest shows right now and has all of us fans hooked with its epic story. What is the Shadow and Bone season 3 release date? Since 2021, the Grishaverse has taken Netflix subscribers and the world by storm. We discuss whether there will be a Season 3 of the Netflix series Shadow and Bone and its renewed or canceled status. Here is everything we know so far
The series focuses on an orphan called Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), who discovers that she has magical powers. She becomes the Sun Summoner, with the ability to manipulate and control light. Her nemesis is the Shadow Summoner, General Aleksander Kirigan (Ben Barnes), who goes by the ominous title of the Darkling. Kirigan has used his powers to create a shadow landscape called the Fold, which consumes everything in its path, growing larger by the day.
Meanwhile, in Ketterdam, a gang of thieves called the Crows tackle an enemy from their leader, Kaz Brekker’s past. Kaz (Freddy Carter) is joined by his usual criminal friends, sharpshooter Jesper Fahey (Kit Young), the elusive Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman), and a handful of recruits. These two subplots soon merge as the fight to destroy Kirigan, and the Fold intensifies.
The first season adapted the first novel in the ‘Shadow and Bone’ trilogy, and the second season focused mainly on the sequel novel titled ‘Siege and Storm.’ This means that a third season would likely adapt the third novel, titled ‘Ruin and Rising.’ The source material is already there for a third outing, so the series has a blueprint it can follow. There is also unused material from many other books in Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse series. Netflix will want to keep making more of these stories while there is a keen interest and plenty of storylines still to adapt. As always, we will keep you posted on any updates in the pending renewal of Shadow and Bone.

Showrunner Eric Heisserer also told Collider that the crew always planned for another season, saying: “It was a three-year plan that I laid out, or three-season plan.” So yeah, season 3 is pretty much a given. And, supposing filming begins this year, we should see Shadow and Bone season 3 hit our small screens sometime in 2024. Stay tuned for updates!
Without giving too much away, regarding the Shadow and Bone season 2 ending and the book, Alina has basically been ushered into sainthood thanks to some pilgrims and Soldat Sol (the sun soldiers led by The Apparat). And it is good timing since Alina will need all the help she can get as our hero is still fighting The Darkling. The upcoming season will see the two’s epic final standoff, so get ready for some high-stakes action as the nation’s fate rests in Alina’s Sun Summoner hands.
Season 3 will also feature more storylines from the Six of Crows books – the spin-off stories from Shadow and Bone. The Six of Crows books have been tied to the Netflix series since season 1, so expect to see the gang of misfits make a comeback too.
Here is the expected Shadow and Bone season 3 cast:
