The Grishaverse is coming to Netflix. The streamer just dropped a trailer for “Shadow and Bone,” a series adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels about a war-torn fantasy world.
The action-packed spot sees Alina (Jessie Mei Li), an orphan and low-ranking soldier, unleashing an extraordinary power and catching the attention of an army of magical soldiers known as Grisha.
As a Sun Summoner, Alina is able to summon light. “Our enemies are threatened by your mere existence,” she’s told. She’s also warned that “the whole world will be after [her].” Pressure is mounting, and Alina, who is only just learning how to harness her powers, can’t help but notice that “everyone’s looking at [her] like [she’s] the answer.”
“Shadow and Bone” launches on Netflix April 23.
