The series was renewed for season 2 last year, with showrunner Eric Heisserer saying at the time: "I'm honoured and thrilled to return to the Grishaverse and continue the stories of these endearing characters, particularly Milo."

Author Leigh Bardugo added: "I've been writing in the Grishaverse for nearly ten years now, so I'm thrilled we get to keep this adventure going.

"There are so many places we've barely gotten to visit and I can't wait to introduce our audience to more of the saints, soldiers, thugs, thieves, princes, and privateers who make this world so much fun to explore. It's going to be real magic to see our brilliant, talented cast expand."

Shadow and Bone is streaming on Netflix.
