When will Shadow and Bone season 2 be filmed?
Netflix announced the beginning of production for Shadow & Bone season 2 on January 13, 2022. Production was supposed to begin in the fall 2021. However, that didn’t happen.
The second season of the show has been completed, so the season should be in post-production. Although it is not yet clear when the show will be released, it appears more likely that it will be released in early 2023.
Shadow and Bone season 2 release date
While we had hoped for a 2022 release date of Shadow and Bone Season 2, production only started in January 2022. This makes things more difficult.
It will be close. It’s possible to see Shadow and Bone Season 2 in the 2022 holiday season. Netflix usually releases a major sci-fi/fantasy series at Christmas or Thanksgiving. Could Shadow and Bone Season 2 be that show.
A report by The Hollywood Reporter states that Shadow and Bone Season 2 will be released in 2022. Although it is possible, it is unlikely. The second season will likely be a bit longer than the first, so post may take longer, which could complicate a 2022 release date.
We have to consider the possibility that Shadow and Bone season 2, which is expected to be on Netflix in 2023, may not be available. Shadow and Bone Season 2 will debut on Netflix in December 2022. They will need at least six more months to complete post-production. We’ll wait until spring 2023 to see the new season if it isn’t already.
Here are six quick facts about season 2.
Season 2 will include 8 episodes. Each episode will be approximately an hour long. Season 2 will follow Siege and Storm. According to reports, the show has a budget between $3,000,000 and $4. 99,999 for each episode. Season 2 filming will take place between January 2022 and May 2022.

What to expect from Shadow and Bone season 2 on Netflix
Let’s take a look at what season 2 will bring.
Here’s a quick recap of the first season. Our heroes are back in the fold and there will be more deaths. Kirigan uses Alina’s increasing powers to create a new tunnel light that allows passage through the darkness within this fold. It seems that the world has become more divided after a major fight broke out.
Many characters are still struggling to grasp the stags power. However, Alina sees that she and Kirigan can harness it.
Ben Barnes spoke about how his character would adapt to the new power that he has in season 2.
Jessie Mei Li in Shadow & Bone
Jessie Mei Li speaking to DigitalSpy also made some interesting comments about what we can expect.
It remains to be seen how closely the series will adhere to the books. While it’s not perfect, there have been some exceptions. However, the main plotline for season 2 should be consistent with Siege. Here’s the summary for the second book.
According to the season 2 synopsis, Alina and Mal will be on the run in search of another mythical target. This will help them fight Kirigan and possibly team up with a new ally.
Season 2 will feature The Crows, who will be prominently featured (and even rumored get their own spinoff series). They are back in Ketterdam and are up against old rivals.
Season 2 promises a season full of political intrigue, bloody battles and flying ships. We’re also promised a season filled with reunited friends, new nations, and a family secret that will thwart all expectations.
