From EW.COM

Netflix welcomed Shadow and Bone into the fold, and now the streaming giant wants to see more.

Season 2 of the sprawling fantasy series, based on Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse books, has officially been ordered at Netflix. The news dropped on Monday during Netflix's first Geeked Week event.

"I've been writing in the Grishaverse for nearly 10 years now, so I'm thrilled we get to keep this adventure going," Bardugo said in a statement. "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."

Season 1, which premiered on the platform on April 23, adapted the events of Shadow and Bone, the first book in Bardugo's main trilogy, but also weaved in elements and characters from spin-off novel Six of Crows. This gives us some idea as to what season 2 might look like.

Exclusive from The Hollywood Reporter

Jim Mickle, the co-creator and showrunner of Netflix’s instant hit Sweet Tooth, has come on board to direct God Country, Legendary Entertainment’s adaptation of a comic written by Donny Cates.

Published by Image Comics, Country tells of Emmet Quinlan, an old widower afflicted with dementia and violent outbursts. When a tornado hits his West Texas town, Quinlan is rejuvenated thanks to an enchanted sword he finds in the wreckage. Which is good as a host of dastardly creatures are about to descend on what remains of the town.

Cates wrote the script for the adaptation, which is being produced by Lee Kramer and Jon Kramer of AfterShock Media. Mickle will also produce.
