Premise

The series "brings together the stories and characters of both Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows, two overlapping series that take place in Bardugo’s Grishaverse. In a world cleaved in two by a massive barrier of perpetual darkness, the Shadow Fold, where unnatural creatures feast on human flesh, a young soldier uncovers a power that might finally unite her country. But as she struggles to hone her power, dangerous forces plot against her."[2] Meanwhile, a prodigal gang leader on the other side of the world embarks on a dangerous heist.[3] Season 1 will serve as an adaptation of the novel Shadow and Bone and act as a prequel to the events of the novel Six of Crows.

Development

In January 2019, it was announced that Netflix had given the production a series order for an eight-episode first season with Eric Heisserer as showrunner, creator, head writer, and executive producer. The project falls under Netflix's deal with 21 Laps Entertainment with Shawn Levy executive producing. Also set to executive produce are Leigh Bardugo herself as well as Pouya Shahbazian, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen, and Josh Barry.[2] David J. Peterson is behind the Grishaverse's fictional languages; he previously helped Bardugo with the languages in books as well.[4]

Casting

On October 2, 2019, it was announced Lee Toland Krieger would direct with Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, Freddy Carter, Archie Renaux, Amita Suman, and Kit Young starring.[5] Sujaya Dasgupta, Danielle Galligan, Daisy Head, and Simon Sears would also feature.[6] The second round of casting was announced on December 18, 2019 with Calahan Skogman, Zoë Wanamaker, Kevin Eldon, Julian Kostov, Luke Pasqualino, Jasmine Blackborow, and Gabrielle Brooks in the recurring cast.[7] Prominent book characters Nikolai Lantsov and Wylan Van Eck will not appear in the first season.[8]

Filming

Principal photography for the first season began on location in and around Budapest, Hungary in October 2019 and wrapped at the end of February 2020. The series is currently in post-production.[9][10][11]

Release

Bardugo answered in a November 2019 interview with SensaCine that the series is expected to be released in late 2020.[12] Bardugo reported through Twitter in June 2020 that working remotely in light of COVID-19 had slowed post-production down, rendering the release date less certain.[13]
