Will the fans get to see more of Alina Starkov? Here is everything we know so far about Shadow and Bone Season 3.
After a nearly two-year wait, Shadow and Bone Season 2 finally made its debut on Netflix in March 16, 2023!
It’s only been a few hours since its premiere, and we are certain for sure that the Grishaverse fans of this beloved fantasy streaming television series developed by Eric Heisserer will binge-watch all the episodes by the end of the day or this coming weekend, making it one of the most talked about new shows in the catalog as it did for the prior seasons as well!
By the end of the season finale, we have no doubt that the fans will start bombarding us with questions about whether Netflix will renew the show for more seasons. Therefore, if you have the same question, then you have come to the right place! We at Web News Observer have compiled a quick summary of everything you need to know about the current status of this treasured series.
Here’s everything we know so far about Shadow and Bone Season 3.
Shadow and Bone: Is it renewed for Season 3?
As of writing this, we can confirm that the network has yet to announce the third season, as the second season just premiered all the episodes on the streaming platform a few hours ago, making it unreasonable to ask for any news or updates about a potential third season.
As it is evidently too soon for any major network to make such significant statements in such a brief period of time. Usually, it happens a month or two after the premiere. So, there’s still a lot of time left for such an announcement.
Additionally, if you have observed, any series with lavish CGI or VFX, like “Shadow and Bone,” may take much longer to get future season renewals. Fans should wait until the network acknowledges this information in the interim.
While we appreciate your eagerness to find out what happens next in the story, you should be aware that the network may evaluate the show’s performance, budget, and viewership before approving it for additional seasons, which can take some time.
In the meantime, take a look at some of the tweets from fans reacting to the season, which show that they kind of have already started anticipating a third season, which can increase the likelihood of the show being renewed and exploring more character arcs and plotlines if the network considers the fandom’s request.

For your consideration, the overall reception from the perspective of viewers and critics around the world also plays a crucial role in renewing the series for additional seasons by revealing its popularity in the genre of this streaming platform’s extensive catalog. Right now, Shadow and Bone have received positive reviews from critics, with an approval rating of 89% based on 80 reviews and an average rating of 7.3/10.
The website’s critics’ consensus reads, “From gorgeous costumes to impressive—if intimidating—world-building, Shadow and Bone is certainly as meticulous as its source material, but by folding in unexpected stories, it expands the novel’s scope to craft an exciting new adventure for fans and newcomers alike.” Metacritic gave a score of 68 out of 100 based on 22 reviews, indicating “generally favorable reviews.”
Hence, if the show is greenlit for the third season, then we can predict that the potential release date might happen sometime around late 2024 or maybe even in 2025. We can anticipate it to have a similar time frame if the production moves along efficiently because the second season was released after two years after the first season. The viewers may turn on notifications to get updates on when Season 3 debuts on Netflix.
🚨THE WAIT IS OVER. SHADOW AND BONE SEASON 2 IS HERE🚨

*Spoiler Alert*
It’s far too soon to make assumptions about the Season 3 plotlines of Shadow and Bone because we haven’t received any verified information yet. But if we have to speculate, the new season is definitely going to pick up from the final episode, “No Funerals.” In the episode, the viewers got to see that forced into an impossible situation during her fight with Kirigan, Alina makes a fateful decision that alters her relationship with magic – and Mal.
On the other hand, Shadow and Bone Season 3 will most likely have at least 8 episodes, just like the previous two seasons; even though the exact number of episodes has not yet been revealed, it is expected to be in the same range to be consistent. We want to emphasize that, if the show is expanded, the number of episodes may change based on the message the show wants to get across to the audience. Only time will tell what lies ahead!
In the meantime, stream Shadow and Bone Season 2 which showcases, “To stand a fighting chance against General Kirigan and his seemingly indestructible new army, Alina Starkov, and Mal Oretsev rally their own powerful new allies and begin a continent-spanning journey to find two mythical creatures that will amplify her powers. Back in Ketterdam, a chance at a deadly heist sends the Crows once again on a collision course with the legendary Sun Summoner.”
