Despite its dedicated fan base and generally positive response, Netflix canceled Shadow and Boneafter season 2 — and likely missed out on an even greater fantasy show in the process. Based on Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse books, Shadow and Bone was one of Netflix's more ambitious undertakings. Sadly, it didn't get much of a chance to grow. The series chronicles Alina Starkov's journey as she realizes she has light-wielding abilities. Because of this, she's tasked with ridding her kingdom of the Shadow Fold, and eventually the villain who created it.
