In an interview with Netflix, the show’s producer Eric Heisserer shared details about each character’s power and their “potential” to advance in the upcoming season.

“The most wonderful thing about Season two is that we get to advance the story of these characters that we’d left in precarious positions at the end of season one,” he said. “There’s a lot of potential for them this season.:

Heisserer continued: “They have to face the consequences for their actions, and then they get to meet new people along the way. The Grishaverse also expands in this season, both in mythology and in characters.”

Co-showrunner and executive producer Daegan Fryklind added: “We’ve also really dug into more of the mythology this season in terms of the amplifiers, but also the creator of the amplifiers, Morozova — who he was, what his backstory is and how he ties into this world.”

Reviewing season one of the series, NME wrote that: “There’s plenty to like about Shadow and Bone, not least its 19th century Russia-inspired aesthetic, and at eight episodes, it doesn’t overstay its welcome.”
