When the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes got underway earlier this year, many Netflix shows were left with fates up in the air.
Now that the strikes are over and Hollywood is getting back to normal, the series won't be making the cut for additional seasons are being revealed.
Deadline revealed Wednesday that Shadow & Bone, Glamorous, Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall will not be returning.
Shadow & Bone is the highest profile of the five shows, having made it to a second season.
Despite the freshman season garnering considerable buzz, Shadow & Bone Season 2 launched earlier this year to little fanfare.
Based on the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone Season 2 follows Alina Starkov, who is now on the run.

Season 2 of the Netflix fantasy series Shadow and Bone is now available for streaming, and fans can’t get enough of The Darkling (Ben Barnes) and Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter).The pair lead a cast of dark and fantastical characters as they evoke supernatural powers creating mystical worlds and alternate dimensions. The highly-successful series is based on the Grishaverse novels by author Leigh Bardugo. While both men portray characters from a different universe, the author claims two popular disco tracks would be perfect karaoke songs for the fan-favorite actors.

On the silver screen, the genre of magic realism has been crowded chock full of good movies, even franchises that have gained cult followings, as the genre retains its charm by projecting the wider, unshackled scope of imagination to the viewers, thereby evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Stan’s latest release, “The Portable Door,” adapted from the fantasy novel series “J.W. Wells and Co.” written by Tom Holt, desperately tries to replicate the charm but fails to offer anything new that genre fans haven’t seen already and offers so little in the way of worldbuilding that viewers themselves will ask for an exposition dump. Flaunting a rather heavy cast with the likes of Christoph Waltz, Sam Neil, Miranda Otto, and Patrick Gibson on board, the movie fails to justify the big names in the roles that the makers didn’t bother fleshing out even the basics of.

The Portable Door is a film directed by Jeffrey Walker starring Patrick Gibson, Sophie Wilde, Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill. It is based on the novel by Tom Holt.
A film full of fantasy, with fantastic sets and a plot that is clearly conducive to wonderful performances.
Very successful in terms of production and rhythm. A very remarkable film with regard to its technical features.
About the Film The Portable Door (2023)
A film that starts like The Trial (Kafka) and that, like Jim Henson, takes us to a world of fantasy, magic doors and so on, all tinged with surrealism, with very good actors who can’t be accused of anything on the technical side: it is brilliant, even.
However, where the script’s concerned, not quite.
It has a great idea that fails to be fully developed. It gets stuck, like so many great ideas, in the initial approach,...

There’s just something about the narrative concept of a normal person becoming embroiled in a world full of magic. It’s what initially captured the imaginations of readers of Tom Holt’s 2003 novel, which has now been adapted into a feature film, with Jeffrey Walker helming the story of The Portable Door.
The aforementioned, normal human thrust into an abnormal world is Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), who is on his way to a job interview at a café, only for fate to intervene, or so he thought, as he winds up in front of a panel he hadn’t anticipated, applying for a job he knows nothing about. The unconventional employers, known as Jw Wells & Co. have the romantic responsibility of engineering all of the every day coincidences that illuminate our lives, such as ‘random’ meetings with strangers that lead on to bigger, and more beautiful things.

Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing
Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward.
The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of Jw Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up.

“Shadow and Bone” Season 2 expands an already complex universe by taking on more source material from Leigh Bardugo’s books, unfurling the fictional fantasy map to explore countries in the Grishaverse and four completely new characters. And in an exclusive new behind-the-scenes featurette, costume designer Wendy Partridge explains how the season’s costumes helped tell the story.
Ben Barnes, Jessie Mei Li, Archie Renaux and the original Crows Freddy Carter, Kit Young and Amita Suman return alongside brand new characters. Both new and returning characters continue to shed layers of identity as the story develops, and these characters’ costumes reflected subtle shifts in their roles as well for Season 2.
As for where the show is headed, some of the characters’ costumes hint at that as well. Costume Designer Wendy Partridge kicked off the season by coordinating colors between Alina and Mal as they became more open about their affection for each other.

The "Shadow and Bone" universe is lush with magic, from bursts of light that shoot out of characters' hands to ancient swords that can cut through seemingly indestructible shadows. In the world of "Shadow and Bone," though, these powers aren't actually called magic - they're instead referred to as the "small science," or the art of manipulating matter, and the characters who practice it are called Grisha.
There are three main categories of Grisha - the Corporalki, Etherealki, and Materialki - and each is broken down into subsets, such as Inferni, who can manipulate fire; Heartrenders, who can control people's internal organs and can also detect when people are telling the truth; and Durasts, who can bend and move metals with their minds. But in the real world, the "Shadow and Bone" cast have differing opinions on which powers are most covetable.

The good ol' Grishaverse returns in Netflix's "Shadow and Bone" season 2, an adaptation of author Leigh Bardugo's young adult fantasy adventure novels. Starring Ben Barnes, Jessie Mei Li, Archie Renaux, Freddie Karter, Kit Young, Amita Suman, Danielle Galligan, and Calahan Skogman, among others, the series tells the story of a country divided by the Shadow Fold, a path of unnatural darkness that is home to gnarly, flesh-eating monsters. As Alina Starkov (Mei Li) discovers the once-dormant magic she possesses that makes her a Grisha, she endeavors to tear down the Fold — but it's not easy when its creator is working equally hard to expand it.
In season 2, we meet many new characters, perhaps the most fascinating being Patrick Gibson's Sturmhond/Nikolai Lantsov. The 27-year-old Irish actor nails the role; it's like watching the character jump off the book's pages and onto the screen. He's charming, he's persuasive,...

It’s understandable that before fans get into a Netflix show nowadays, they want to know whether the show will have another season or whether they’ll be stuck with another cliffhanger ending that will never be continued. Yes we’re talking about Julie and the Phantoms, First Kill, Partner Track, and so much more. But with a show like Shadow and Bone, where we have a whole universe’s worth of stories to pull from and a strong fan base, viewers will be happy to hear that back when showrunner Eric Heisserer pitched the show for Netflix, he told them his ideas for a three-season series.

Alina and Mal found a bit of peace, but that quickly got foiled when Alina learned her nightmares were real.
Shadow and Bone Season 2 Episode 1 saw Alina dreaming of Kirigan inside the fold while the Crows dealt with their issues.
Pekka managed to kill the woman whose name was on the deed for the Crow Club, which means the club now was his: as was Inej's contract.
Mal and Alina continued their romance, but their romantic interactions kept getting interrupted by multiple outside occurrences.
Both of them managed to get caught, causing them to flee the land they had just arrived in.
We didn't see much of the Zemeni side of things, so hopefully, they get brought back into the future. Just as Alina did, we learned that the Zemeni consider their magic users blessed and don't categorize them.
The Zemeni saved Alina and Mal later in the episode, much to everyone's surprise.

Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes may play mortal enemies on "Shadow and Bone," but both of them admit that their characters' relationship is just a little more complicated than light versus shadow. By season two, which hit Netflix on March 16, their characters Alina and General Kirigan - who once seemed poised to become Ravka's most powerful couple - are locked in a bloody power struggle, but they still find themselves linked by a peculiar connection.
"They're two summoners - two sides of the coin - but then they're also, in season two, essentially archnemeses. It's a really interesting relationship," Li tells Popsugar of their characters' fraught bond. Both characters are capable of watching each other and appearing to one another as hallucinations and in dreams throughout season two, which has to be one of the worst bonds one can have with a toxic ex.

Netflix's "Shadow and Bone" is an epic fantasy show with plenty of romance to spare. Lots of fans feel torn between rooting for Alina (Jessie Mei Li) and her best friend Mal (Archie Renaux), or Alina and General Kirigan - aka the Darkling (Ben Barnes). Plus season two, which Netflix released on March 16, adds the additional complication of Nikolai (Patrick Gibson), who wants Alina to marry him. Netflix's series is based on Leigh Bardugo's Grisha book trilogy, but it's not exactly a straight adaptation of the source material, and the two seasons we have so far have made a lot of changes - including to Alina's romantic fate. Ahead, we're breaking down who she ends up with in the book and how things have changed so far for the show.

YA fantasy adaptations tend to be dense in mythology and self-seriousness, with so many lands and lineages and plot turns that the newbie viewer might need a drink, or at least a thorough set of recaps. “Shadow and Bone,” returning to Netflix for Season 2 (a feat in itself these days), has all of the standard intricacies. Between Ravka and Fjerda, the Grisha and the Shu, the Barrell and the Fold, there’s a lot to keep track of, and the task can be daunting for novices to navigate.
But “Shadow and Bone” has an ace in the hole that the cardsharps of the Crow Club would appreciate. It rarely forgets to have fun, a quality that can easily get lost amid the spells and brooding that often characterize such enterprises. The series has a swashbuckling spirit and lively wit. It has clever heist plots and barroom brawls. Even as it...

Two years after "Shadow and Bone" made its debut on Netflix, the Grishaverse finally returns with season 2 of the fantasy-action-romance hybrid. Based on the books by Leigh Bardugo, this is a show dense with lore that shows no mercy to non-book readers and/or those for whom April 2021 is a distant, foggy memory. It's definitely worth rewatching the first season if you don't want to be floundering in questions like "wait, what's merzost?" and "who the hell are all these people?"
If you don't have time for a rewatch, here are the basics. The world is made up of ordinary people and Grisha, born wizards with power over certain elements. Some can control wind, some can control fire, some can control water, some can manipulate materials, some can hear heartbeats and squish people's internal organs at will.

Four new characters from the Grishaverse play major roles in “Shadow and Bone” Season 2 on Netflix. Like the pair of The Darkling and Alina, these new characters contain contradictions.
Adapted from the last two books in Leigh Bardugo’s “Shadow and Bone” trilogy — “Seige and Storm” and “Ruin and Rising” — with plot points from the “Six of Crows” duology mixed in, the sequel installment of the YA fantasy show introduces new characters and builds upon old concepts, specifically that of identity. Twin Heartrenders Tamar Kir-Bataar (Anna Leong Brophy) and Tolya Yul-Bataar (Lewis Tan) challenge the strict Ravkan identity categories in the fantasy world because have Grisha power to manipulate elements, but they are also just as comfortable using battle axes and swords.
“There’s a lot of duality. So I feel like the twins are a physical representation of duality, they’re two different sides of a coin,” Leong Brophy told TheWrap.

The three play Tolya Yul-Bataar, Tamar Kir-Bataar, and Nikolai Lantsov, respectively. The three actors gave us the lowdown on their characters throughout the second season!
These interviews have been edited for clarity.
TV Fanatic: For all three, but mainly Anna and Lewis: How do you think your [characters'] relationship with Alina aligned with the book/each other being Shu like she is?
Anna: I think we have an immediate understanding of when we meet of her predicament. She's also someone caught between two worlds. I think that's a theme often explored in the Grishaverse,...

Netflix’s “Shadow and Bone” Season 2 will continue to immerse viewers into the fictional fantasy world created by Leigh Bardugo, author of the “Shadow and Bone” trilogy and the “Six of Crows” duology.
Landing on the streamer March 16, the second season of the YA fantasy series adapts both “Siege and Storm” and “Ruin and Rising” from Bardugo’s trilogy while sprinkling in elements from the “Six of Crows” duology. New characters from both parts of the Grishaverse enter the story this round as well, including Tolya Yul-bataar (Lewis Tan), Tamar Kir-bataar (Anna Leong Brophy), Sturmhond aka Nikolai Lantsov (Patrick Gibson) and Wylan Hendricks (Jack Wolfe).

Things are getting more complicated (and hotter) in the Grishaverse with the Sun Summoner getting involved in a love quadrangle in season 2 of Netflix's "Shadow and Bone." The last time we saw Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) in the season finale, she managed to free herself from the influence of the brooding, manipulative General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), who tried harnessing her powers using Morozova's collar. This is the moment Alina chooses to truly step into her power and do what's necessary to snatch back her autonomy. Deciding that it is best to go into hiding, she and Mal (Archie Renaux) are seen walking into the unknown, with the knowledge that the Darkling's reign has finally come to an end. Little do they know that Kirigan is very much alive, and more intent than ever to track Alina down, no matter what the cost.

Netflix’s nearly three-minute trailer for Shadow and Bone season two opens with the revelation that General Kirigan has created an army out of shadows and has plunged the country into darkness. It’s going to take everything Alina Starkov and Mal Oretsev have to emerge victorious against Kirigan and his unkillable army.
Author Leigh Bardugo told Netflix’s Tudum this new season differs from her trilogy. “We are going to get to see some incredible new characters,” explained Bardugo. “We’re going to see characters interacting with each other, questing with each other, fighting and laughing with each other, who we never got to see together in the books — and I think that’s a unique thing about this show.”
“We’ve […]really dug into more of the mythology this season in terms of the amplifiers, but also the creator of the amplifiers, Morozova — who he was, what his backstory is,...

If you've been itching for another fantasy show to binge, then Netflix has heard your calls. The second season of "Shadow and Bone," based on the Grishaverse franchise by Leigh Bardugo, is coming soon. While the show's initial season left some major plot threads hanging in the balance, it looks like those will be explored more in-depth in the next batch of episodes.
"Shadow and Bone" immediately proved to be a success for Netflix when it premiered in April 2021. In her review of the first season, /Film's Vanessa Armstrong praised its accessible world-building and compelling characters, a balance arguably rarely achieved in modern fantasy fare. From the looks of this latest trailer, this will prove to be no different for its second season.

Amidst all the hullabaloo about Showtime merging with Paramount+ and the continuing revival of older shows that nobody asked to be revived, you would be forgiven for missing that the Epix streaming platform formally rebranded as MGM+ on January 15, 2023. Cue the Gif of Korath the Pursuer (Djimon Honsou) in "Guardians of the Galaxy" saying, "Who?"
Epix, for those not familiar, launched in the late 2000s and housed shows such as the Forest Whitaker-led crime drama "Godfather of Harlem" and the Stephen King adaptation "Chapelwaite" prior to its rebranding being announced in the wake of Amazon's 8.5 billion acquisition of MGM's vast collection of films and TV shows. Epix was also the original home of the since-canceled DC comic book TV series "Pennyworth," which moved to HBO Max for its third season under the gloriously cumbersome new title, "Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler."

Charismatic villains Humphrey Wells (Waltz), the CEO of the company, and middle manager Dennis Tanner (Neill) are disrupting the world of magic by bringing modern corporate strategy to ancient magical practices, and Paul and Sophie discover the true agenda of the vast corporation where they work.
Adapted from Tom Holt’s popular 7-book fantasy series, Jeffrey Walker helms on the film which stars Sam Neill, Christoph Waltz, Patrick Gibson, Miranda Otto, Chris Pang, Jessica De Gouw, Rachel House, Arka Das, Damon Herriman and newcomer Sophie Wilde.
