Shadow and Bone is a Netflix series filled with magic and mystery following several perspectives, giving each character a sense of depth. The series made its televised debut on Netflix on April 23, 2021. The series follows Alina Starkov and other essential characters as they  traverse across the land while dealing with dark forces that threaten the lives of all human and grisha. According to TV Line, Ben Barnes(The Seventh Son), who played General Krigian, stated,” I was so excited to watch the brilliant, beautiful humans I love so much who made Shadow and Bone take this world, their characters and this story onwards,” he wrote. “This part of the journey is sorrowful, and I am so proud to have been a part of it”.

According to TVLine, Jessie Mei Li(Havoc), who led the ensemble as the Sun Summoner Alina Starkov, posted footage of her screen test for the role in 2019 with the caption, Shadow and Bone has come to an end. My first big job, and I will never forget it. I am walking away now towards exciting new horizons with some friends for life! Thanks for watching, Grishaverse.” Shadow and Bone is just one of the series that Netflix has canceled. Other cast members, such as Archie Renaux (Morbius), who played Mal Oretsev, and Lewis Tan(Mortal Kombat), who portrayed Tolya Yul-Bataar, are sharing their sadness about the cancellation but also express gratitude towards being given them opportunity to be part of a magical series.

Unfortunately @shadowandbone_ has come to an end. Loved working on the show and loved working with everyone involved, truly a special time in my life. I’m sorry to all our writers that won’t be able to share the next chapter in the story. Thanks for all the support you’ve given❤️
