Shadow and Bone Season 2: What will happen next season?
A report fromEWconfirmed that Season 2 will adapt Siege and Storm, the second book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy written by Leigh Bardugo. However, surprisingly, it also says that the Season will adapt Ruin and Rising, the third book in the main Grishaverse trilogy.
EW also reports that fans should also expect more elements from the Six of Crows duology in Season 2, since the Crows were not featured in the main Grishaverse trilogy.
In Seige and Storm, Alina and Mal remain on the run from the Darkling and his forces, trying to keep Alina’s Sun Summoning powers hidden. This would potentially see them in different parts of the Grishaverse world that we have not yet seen in the show.
The Darkling will also be wielding new, terrifying powers after his encounter with Alina in the Fold, which could allow him to expand his reach.
In Ruin and Rising, Alina and Mal will have to forge new alliances in order to unravel some of Kirigan’s secrets and defeat the Darkling once and for all.
