After almost two years, the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone premiered on March 16th, 2023. According to Netflix, it debuted on the English TV List in the #2 spot with 50.4M hours viewed and appeared in the Top 10 in 85 countries. Netflix also announced that viewers re-watched season one which had 24.07M hours viewed during the week of March 13th, 2023. Though there is yet to be news on a third season, it’s hard to imagine the streaming platform won’t renew it (fingers crossed). While we wait for news on future seasons, here are 10 movies to watch featuring the cast of Shadow and Bone.
