The second season of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone adaptation is almost here, and we’ve got a trailer to prove it! The streaming platform released the new clip today, which not only gives us Ben Barnes’ Darkling being suitably scarred, but also shows us some footage of Patrick Gibson’s Nikolai Lantsov and his flying machine.
And while the trailer teases some of what the upcoming episodes will cover from Leigh Bardugo’s books, the official synopsis from Netflix also gives us some more clues:
Alina Starkov is on the run. A beacon of hope to some and a suspected traitor to others, she’s determined to bring down the Shadow Fold and save Ravka from ruin. But General Kirigan has returned to finish what he started. Backed by a terrifying new army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits, Kirigan is more dangerous than ever. To stand a fighting chance against him, Alina and Mal rally their own powerful new allies and begin a continent-spanning journey to find two mythical creatures that will amplify her powers. Back in Ketterdam, the Crows must forge new alliances as they contend with old rivals and even older grudges that threaten not only their place in the Barrel, but their very lives. When a chance at a deadly heist comes their way, the Crows will once again find themselves on a collision course with the legendary Sun Summoner. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, Shadow and Bone returns for a second season of new friendships, new romance, bigger battles, epic adventures—and a shocking family secret that could shatter everything.
Is one of those new adventures a certain ice palace heist? Kaz Brekker’s comment in the trailer, suggests we might?! Here’s to hoping.
