Freddy Carter teases Kaz Brekker’s storyline in Shadow and Bone season 2
With less than one week until Shadow and Bone season 2 drops on Netflix, we’re getting more hints of what to expect. While we have a good guess as to what protagonist Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) will get up to (the next season is based on the book Siege and Storm), there are still many question about the Crows.
Shadow and Bone season 1 dropped us into a war-torn country called Ravka and primarily followed Alina as she discovered she was a Sun Summoner, a powerful Grisha magic user who had the ability to tear down the Shadow Fold, a swath of darkness teeming with monsters which splits Ravka in half). We also met a team of mercenaries called the Crows — Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter), Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman) and Jesper Fahey (Kit Young) — from the neighbouring country of Kerch, who took on a job to kidnap Alina.
The season ended with all of them joining forces to fight the Darkling (Ben Barnes). But now that they’re separated again, how will the Crows play into season 2?
Shadow and Bone season 2 will explore Kaz’s backstory
In a recent interview with Nerds and Beyond, Freddy Carter gave fans some new information, confirming that we will see Kaz’s backstory in season 2. “A lot of that stuff that we get to play out is from the books — it’s from the source material,” he said. “So I had all of that information going into season 1 and was playing it all. It wasn’t news to me when I read season 2, that that was the backstory.”
"That’s really only the first half of the season for him, it’s a [multi]-episode arc to get this revenge and seek redemption from “someone.” And he gets it and realizes that it’s not everything he actually needs. That he’d been chasing the wrong thing for all this time, and then he has to confront what that looks like."
This could explain the short clip released by Netflix of Kaz, Inej and Jesper joining forces with Nina Zenik (Danielle Galligan) and new character Wylan Hendriks (Jack Wolfe); Kaz is trying to rectify the slight mess they’re in after they decided not to kidnap Alina in Season 1, while simultaneously working on a bigger revenge scheme.
Book fans will have some solid guesses over who Freddy Carter is referencing, particularly given the events of season 1, but we will not know anything for certain until Shadow and Bone season 2 drops on Netflix on March 16.
