This is definitely in contrast with the books, where she officially breaks things off (especially considering she faked her death and marries Mal in the epilogue). They never officially dissolve their engagement, and during Nikolai’s coronation, she is wearing a big crown and standing beside Nikolai, so it seems very likely. Hopefully Matthias survives this cliffhanger of a wolf fight, though. This could introduce some juicy obstacles for the eventual “break Matthias out of prison” storyline, and also pit Kaz against his archnemesis again. Now, this is something that doesn’t really have a book precedent! As previously mentioned, Pekka Rollins gets his comeuppance at the end of Crooked Kingdom - which means that he and Matthias are never really in jail at the same time in the book timeline. Speaking of Matthias, what’s happening with him in wolf-fighting hell? Photo: Dávid Lukács/Netflix The withdrawal symptoms are devastating and only one person (spoiler) has been able to survive it - and their powers were completely altered afterward. Not only does the drug increase a Grisha’s powers to deadly effects, it also is highly addictive and weakens the body of its user. We already saw how devastating its effects are in the final scene of season 2, so it’s definitely going to play as pivotal a role in the hypothetical future seasons or spinoffs as it did in the books. The jurda parem - and the implications that weaponizing it has on the rest of the world - becomes a driving force in the Crows books and beyond. They also infiltrate a Fjerdan military stronghold known as the Ice Court in order to break out a Shu scientist, who has developed a drug known as jurda parem that heightens Grisha’s powers - yes, that drug that Kaz mentions in the last episode and the one that the Fjerdan agent uses to massacre a ton of people all at once at Nikolai’s coronation. However, a lot more happens in the Crows books - and the last episode of this season readies the runaway for it all.įor one, the gang breaks Matthias out of prison, which is probably going to happen sooner than later next season (or in the possible Six of Crows spinoff). And technically one of the big pivotal moments in the books (getting revenge on Pekka Rollins), which happens in the last Crows book, happened this season. Technically, the Six of Crows books take place two years after the main trilogy, but the show has been playing fast and loose with the timeline anyway. We are finally caught up to the Crows books. Image: Netflix What’s next for the Six of Crows characters? Some of these threads, however, are foreshadowed way more in season 2 than others - and some might actually be addressed in a possible Six of Crows spinoff instead. And even if it didn’t, there are two separate sequel series that follow different sets of characters and dive into the ramifications of the Ravkan Civil War. Just kidding! You’re probably not wondering that, because Shadow and Bone season 2 ended with a lot of loose ends that weren’t actually there in the books. It was a lot, so you might be wondering, Man, is there anything left for an upcoming third season? We are ready to launch that as its own story," Heisserer confirmed to EW.This season of Shadow and Bone didn’t just adapt the next book in the main trilogy - it finished up Alina’s main story, and also pulled in some plotlines from the Crows books, and also from one of the companion short story books. "One of the reasons, not all of them, that I got the privilege of working with Daegan Fryklind as co-showrunner in season 2 is that I was busy with the writers' room for Six of Crows. But there are things in the works for Six of Crows show that would partially take place at the same time as the Shadow and Bone Season 2 Finale episode. Nothing has been green-lit yet, and Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the spin-off show is dependent on the success of Shadow and Bone Season 2. Eric Heisserer agreed to become the Shadow and Bone showrunner as long as Netflix got him the rights to Six of Crows as well, and it turns out that he's been quietly developing a spin-off shows based on that exact duology. We might be getting more of the Crows, if all goes well. Watch Seasons 1 and 2 of Shadow and Bone Now What about potential future spin-off shows? Given this information, we probably wouldn’t see Shadow and Bone season 3 until late 2024 or early 2025. Season 2 premiered on March 16, 2023, and although its future is unknown, it’s possible that a renewal announcement could come within the next month or two. Shadow and Bone season 1 premiered on April 21, 2021, and was renewed in June 2021. If green-lit, we could look at previous season release dates for reference. No word on this just yet, as Netflix still needs to confirm that season 3 is happening.
