Prepare to enter the fold with Netflix's 'Shadow and Bone'

 

Netflix is set to stream its eight-episode fantasy series "Shadow and Bone" on April 23.

Based on Leigh Bardugo’s worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, "Shadow and Bone" finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. 

With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha. But as she struggles to hone her power, she finds that allies and enemies can be one and the same and that nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. 

There are dangerous forces at play, including a crew of charismatic criminals, and it will take more than magic to survive. 

"Shadow and Bone" is a Netflix production from 21 Laps Entertainment, starring Jessie Mei Li (Alina Starkov), Archie Renaux (Malyen Oretsev), Freddy Carter (Kaz Brekker), Amita Suman (Inej), Kit Young (Jesper Fahey), and Ben Barnes (General Kirigan).
