Netflix released the Shadow and Bone series’s character posters, which feature a release date of April 23, 2021. The fantasy TV series is based on Leigh Bardugo’s book series “Grishaverse.”
The six-character posters feature Alina Starkov (played by Jessie Mei Li), Mal Oretsev (played by Archie Renaux), and General Kirigan/the Darkling (played by Ben Barnes) from Shadow and Bone, as well as Inej Ghafa (played by Amita Suman), Jesper Fahey (played by Kit Young), and Kaz Brekker (played by Freddy Carter) from Six of Crows.
Check out the posters below:
The book Shadow and Bone is set in the fictional land of Ravka, which, according to Bardugo, derives inspiration from 19th century Imperial Russia. The story is centered around Alina Starkov, a mapmaker, who discovers some hidden mystical powers, which will play an important role in freeing her “war-torn country.”
“Shadow and Bone takes place in a very different kind of fantasy world. Think Imperial Russia, not Medieval England, repeating rifles instead of broadswords.”
Leigh Bardugo, author and executive producer for Netflix’s live-action adaptation.
Season 1 of the series will follow Grishaverse’s first title, Shadow and Bone, together with Six of Crows, a spinoff book set in the same universe as Shadow and Bone but in the distant city of Ketterdam. Six of Crows derives inspiration from the 17th century Dutch Republic.
Grishverse sports an epic blend of historical European style and theme, with a little fantasy aesthetics here and there. The blend is perfectly recreated, as seen by the costumes in the posters.
Apart from the posters, Netflix also released some stills from the series, featuring the cast in their costumes. Have a look:
As someone who loves reasons, the book-to-TV adaptations are like heaven. I can’t wait for April 23 to watch the series bring our favorite characters to life. Stay tuned.
