Critics Consensus

Shadow and Bone's sophomore season packs in too much story sinew to properly breathe, but this adventure remains great fun for fantasy fans.

Overall, season two has all of the tenets of a high fantasy adventure including a beautiful world to play in and themes of love, fate, and choice to explore. Go to Full Review Sarah Shaffi AV Club Mar 17, 2023

This season is supersized: more characters, more settings, more plot, more danger, and more fighting. Go to Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Mar 16, 2023
3/5
Fortunately, it’s silly enough that you can ignore most of it and just enjoy the ride. Go to Full Review Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine Jul 15, 2024
While the show remains entertaining and remarkably true to the spirit of all sets of characters old and new, narratively, this season can only be described as heavily overstuffed. Go to Full Review Samantha Puc The Mary Sue Jul 9, 2024
Shadow and Bone season 2 has all the best things about fantasy: magical creatures, a super-scary villain, assassins, frenemies forced to work together, secret identities, and more. Unfortunately, the pacing leaves much to be desired. Go to Full Review Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media Jul 23, 2023
Shadow and Bone Season 2 considerably improves through its visual effects, a brand-new brilliant score by Joseph Trapanese, and significant moments of vulnerability. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jem R @RT43585909 May 28, 2026 I enjoyed this season as much as I enjoyed season one. I rewatch this show often. I am very disappointed that there will not be anymore seasons. See more Bella A @Bella22 Sep 15, 2025 Shadow and Bone is the only reason I have a subscription to Netflix. This show is perfection and I hope to see more of this universe. See more Kaela R @RT97035363 Feb 11, 2025 Disappointed we won't get the Six of Crows spin-off, but very glad we got to see more of the crows in this season! See more Conrad C @sosopoptart Jan 22, 2025 Further and further the series strays from the source material, but it manages to stand on its own. Characters get more developed, and Patrick Gibson as Nikolai has a certain flair to it. The story itself feels a little more original this time around. The final episode, though, spends way too much time tying up loose ends and setting up another season, especially since it never happened. See more Saura U @RT26006838 Oct 5, 2024 Representation matters and the Six of Crows are fair proof of that. Alina's complicated relationship is very well portrait, and the end!! Such a cliffhanger!! See more Thomas L @Ettenrocal Mar 15, 2024 Season 2 was really a blast, a really really good suprise! Can't wait for season 3. See more Read all reviews
