Essentially the most fantastic factor about Season Two is that we get to advance the story of those characters that we’d left in precarious positions on the finish of Season One. There’s lots of potential for them this season. They must face the implications for his or her actions, after which they get to satisfy new folks alongside the way in which. The Grishaverse additionally expands on this season, each in mythology and in characters. In doing so, we broaden the world, we go to new places, we go to Novyi Zem and Shu Han, and people are all integral to the narrative.

We’ve additionally actually dug into extra of the mythology this season by way of the amplifiers, but in addition the creator of the amplifiers, Morozova, who he was, what his backstory is, and the way he ties into this world. We exit and we go deeper.

I feel the readers now belief our writers the way in which that I do. This season I used to be capable of step again and put the present extra firmly of their arms. I feel after we approached Season One, lots of people have been like, “It’s not possible. It could possibly’t be executed. Why would you deliver SHADOW AND BONE and SIX OF CROWS collectively?” And I feel now, now we have that belief. And I feel it’s going to be very, very thrilling for them to see the way in which that belief pays off in Season Two. Each a part of the Grishaverse is coming into play. We’re going to get to see some unimaginable new characters. We’re going to see characters interacting with one another, questing with one another, preventing and laughing with one another, who we by no means received to see collectively within the books. And I feel that’s a singular factor about this present. Readers usually are not solely going to be shocked by the way in which that these storylines crash into one another, they’re by no means going to know the place the subsequent transfer is coming from—and that truly was a pleasure for me as a result of I received to be shocked by my very own tales.
