SHADOW AND BONE

The highly anticipated second season from one of Netflix’s most popular book-toscreen adaptations is here at last. Ever since the first season premiered in 2021, fans have fallen in love with the fantastical show. LGBTQIA viewers especially resonated with its themes of found family and the show’s queer characters. The second season expands the world of the Grishaverse and ups the stakes as Alina Starkov, AKA Sun Summoner, (Jessie Mei Li) must face off with General Kirigan, AKA the Darkling, (Ben Barnes). This instalment introduces us to some new faces: Nikolai Lantsov (Patrick Gibson), twins Tamar Kir-Bataar (Anna Leong Brophy) and Tolya Yul-Bataar (Lewis Tan), and new Crow Club member Wylan (Jack Wolfe). Available to stream now on Netflix
