Netflix Cancels “Shadow and Bone” and “Six of Crows” Spinoff, Fans Rally to Save the Franchise
The Cancellation
Netflix has decided to pull the plug on its hit fantasy series "Shadow and Bone" after just two seasons. Despite the show's initial success, the streaming platform cited strikes-related reasons for its cancellation. Disappointing viewership in spring 2023 sealed the fate of the show, leaving fans heartbroken.
The Spinoff
As fans mourn the loss of "Shadow and Bone," they are also left wondering about the fate of the much-anticipated "Six of Crows" spinoff. The thieves of Ketterdam gained a devoted following both on the page and on TV, leading to high excitement when EP Eric Heisserer confirmed the development of a Crows show in March 2023. However, creator Leigh Bardugo has confirmed on Instagram that Netflix has decided not to move forward with the spinoff.
Fans Fight Back
Despite the devastating news, fans of "Shadow and Bone" are not giving up. The #SixOfCrowsSpinoff campaign and the #SaveShadowAndBone hashtag have taken off on social media as fans unite to save the franchise. A Change.org petition calling for Netflix to reverse its decision has garnered over 150,000 signatures, and a Kickstarter fundraiser to erect a #SaveShadowAndBone billboard in Los Angeles has surpassed its initial goal of $5000.
Hope for the Future
While the outcome remains uncertain, fans draw inspiration from the successes of other cancelled Netflix shows, such as "Warrior Nun" and "Daredevil," which were revived on other streaming platforms after receiving billboard support. The Grishaverse could potentially find new life in the form of a third season of "Shadow and Bone" or a spinoff centered on the beloved characters from "Six of Crows." With the determination of the fandom and the notorious Kaz Brekker leading the charge, anything is possible.
