10 ENTERTAINMENT EXTRA By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON NETFLIX "Shadow and Bone" - Season 2 The stories from author Leigh Bar- dugo's Grishaverse spring to life once more when Season 2 of the fantasy drama "Shadow and Bone" premieres Thursday, March 16, on Netflix. As the story picks back up, the protagonist, Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li, "Last Night in Soho," 2021) is on the run — a beacon of hope to some and a suspected traitor to others. Alina is determined to bring down the Shadow Fold and save Ravka from ruin, but Gen. Kirigan (Ben Barnes, "The Punisher") has returned to finish what he started and, with an army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits, he's more dangerous than ever. To stand a chance at fighting back, Alina and Mal (Archie Renaux, "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," 2022) must rally their own allies and embark on a journey for two mythical creatures that can amplify Alina's powers. Executive produced by Bardugo, the series is also executive produced by co-showrunners and writers Eric Heisserer ("Arrival," 2016) and Dae- gan Fryklind ("Bitten") and directed by Bola Ogun ("On the Run," 2018), Laura Belsey ("The Walking Dead"), Karen Gaviola ("Paper Girls") and Mairzee Almas ("The 100").
