Shadow & Bone Season 2 Is Insane, Says Lewis Tan
Lewis Tan says season 2 of Shadow & Bone, the Netflix TV series adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's novels, will be an insane followup to the opening season. The actor will join the original cast along with several other new cast members, expanding the narrative scope of the Netflix adaptation. Since the series has taken clever turns to blend two of Bardugo's novel narratives into one new adaptation, it's unclear exactly how all the new characters will collide or what the plot has in store.
Tan will be playing Tolya Yul-Bataar in the upcoming season. Tolya is a Grisha Heartrender who, along with his twin sister Tamar (Anna Leong Brophy), has sworn allegiance to the main character Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei-Li) due to her seemingly divine ability to manipulate light. The novels follow Alina closely as she flees the powerful forces of the Darkling (Ben Barnes), protected by her self-appointed body guards Tolya and Tamar, who not only wield heart-stopping magic, but also sharp blades and a lifetime of fighting skills. Season 2 will likely be diving into the siblings' shared Shu Han ancestry with Alina and displaying their formidable powers as they defend her from a long list of existential threats.
