Watch the trailer for Shadow and Bone, Netflix’s Fantasy Adaptation

Netflix has finally released a full trailer of Shadow and Bone, its upcoming adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse fantasy novels. The eight-episode series is developed by Eric Heisserer and 21 Laps Entertainment for Netflix.

The fantasy television series will premiere on April 23 which is a Friday. The series is set in a war-torn zone where, as per Netflix, “lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha.”

Bardugo elucidated in January, “Shadow and Bone take place in a very different kind of fantasy world. Think Imperial Russia, not Medieval England, repeating rifles instead of a broadsword.” She further added that “it’s a story about the people who have been told how much they don’t matter proving how much they do. And it’s been incredible to see that story take shape on such an epic scale, the battles, the magic, but also the relationships between the characters.”
