Where to stream Shadow and Bone Season 1: Netflix? Hulu? Peacock?

Get ready to put on your kefta, Grishaverse fans, because Shadow and Bone Season 1 is now streaming on Netflix! There’s a lot to look forward to with this series, so here’s a brief breakdown of how to watch it and what you’ll want to look out for when you do.

This has been one of the most anticipated fantasy series for the streaming service, so you won’t want to miss it. If you aren’t familiar with Leigh Bardugo’s YA books that the show is based off of, that’s ok. It does a really good job of introducing viewers to her world.

At just eight episodes, Shadow and Bone Season 1 is the perfect weekend binge. You’ll definitely want to sit aside some time to stream the whole series because everyone’s going to be talking about it.

If you’re here as someone who’s already read all about Alina Starkov and the Darkling, you should check out our advance review from a reader’s perspective. If not, just stay put for some spoiler-free details.

So, what’s all the hype about? The best-selling books are some of the best in the YA fantasy genre, and they get better with each installment. The Grisha trilogy also has the bonus of being just one, among many, series that puts the fate of the world in a young girl’s hands. This is so important, as young girls need to see that they, too, can be heroes.

Without spoiling too much, here’s the Netflix synopsis for the series:

"Dark forces conspire against orphan mapmaker Alina Starkov when she unleashes an extraordinary power that could change the fate of her war-torn world."

This new streaming show also includes characters from Bardugo’s Six of Crows duology, which is within the same universe but actually takes place after the events of Alina’s trilogy. Bringing both “sides” of the Grishaverse together makes a great blending of what most people would call magic (in the series, it’s called practicing the Small Science) and an Ocean’s 11 (or Ocean’s 8, if you prefer) type of feel.

So, whether you’re looking for great special effects, tons of romance, or just some good, old-fashioned scheming, you’ll want to stream this show right away. It’s exclusively available on Netflix, so if you let your subscription lapse, now is the time to renew it!
