Shadow and Bone on Netflix has been taking the world by storm since its April 23 release. Almost immediately, fans started hoping for the show to get a season two. Thankfully, well over a month later, we learned they’re getting their wish.

The series, based on the popular Grisha novel trilogy, focuses on dark forces conspiring against teenage orphan Alina Starkov, who possesses a unique and powerful gift: the ability to create light. The power is strong enough to potentially free her country in their war-torn world (no pressure).

Here’s everything we know so far about what to expect from the second season.

Season two is a go! The cast shared the good news in a YouTube video on June 7, telling fans their “summoning power” has worked.

Filming. We’re unsure if filming has begun. The series is still new, so the next season will likely get released in 2022 at the earliest.

Season two will (presumably) focus on the next book in the Grisha trilogy. Siege and Storm will probably continue to focus on Alina battling against The Fold. Viewers will discover that General Kirigan didn’t die. Unfortunately for Alina, his powers become even stronger, and he will still be the villain.

The first-season cast members are on board for another round. Sujaya Dasgupta, who plays a Squaller named Zoya Nazyalensky, is excited to continue Zoya’s journey. “She goes on a real journey,” Dasgupta tells Collider. “It’s just nice as an actor as well to kind of delve into it and just see where she starts, and it’s just a richer arc for her.”

It’s unknown whether all the books will get a season. The trilogy’s author, Leigh Bardugo, would love to see all the books in the universe adapted for the small screen. “Just have a limitless budget, honestly. All the money they gave to The Witcher,” Bardugo tells Elle.com with a laugh, referencing Netflix’s massive hit. “I want to see the whole story, and I know that’s crazy. I know it’s unlikely. I don’t think it would take seven seasons to get us through seven books. I would love to see the whole story unspool. I think that would be something special.”

Shadow and Bone is streaming now on Netflix.
