The second season will premiere on the streaming platform on March 16 and will consist of eight episodes. Each episode will be one hour long.

The first season premiered in April 2021 and is based on two books, Shadow and Bone trilogy and Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. The series follows orphaned cartographer Alina Starkov as she must fight against dark forces in the war-torn world.

Helmed by Eric Heisserer, who also served as showrunner for the first season, the second season will have Daegan Fryklind as the showrunner. Degan will also write and executive produce the show.

Speaking about adapting the novel to the series, author Leigh Bardugo was quoted as saying as per Collider report, "This season I was able to step back and put the show more firmly in their hands. Readers are not only going to be surprised by the way that these storylines crash into each other, they're never going to know where the next move is coming from—and that actually was a pleasure for me because I got to be surprised by my own stories."
