Kaz's team for now, though, consists of himself, Wylan, Jesper, and Nina, as Matthias is still behind bars at Hellgate (with a vendetta growing for fellow inmate Pekka Rollins) and Inej is on the search for the slaver who kidnapped her and her brother. We already saw what one person on the drug can do: a Fjerdan woman at Nikolai's coronation is able to make the whole congregation fall, maybe even some to their deaths, and vomit up blood until Alina stops her.

Kaz and his team are commissioned to break him out, to keep Fjerda from weaponizing the drug and provoking international warfare. A chemist who created the highly addictive drug jurda parem, which amplifies Grisha's powers by a thousand times, has been captured by Fjerdans and awaits trial. The season 2 finale sets up the Ice Court job for the next installment, which was a big part of the Six of Crows books. However, it looks like it's goodbye for Ben Barnes as General Kirigan, unless he reappears in flashbacks or via other, darker magic. It's also likely we'll see more of Sujaya Dasgupta (Zoya), Joanna McGibbon (Nadia Zhabin), Alistair Nwachukwu (Adrik Zhabin), and Dean Lennox Kelly (Pekka Rollins) again. We'll also probably see more of: Archie Renaux (Malyen Oretsev), Freddy Carter (Kaz Brekker), Amita Suman (Inej Ghafa), Kit Young (Jesper Fahey), Danielle Galligan (Nina Zenik), Daisy Head (Genya Safin), Calahan Skogman (Matthias Helvar), Lewis Tan (Tolya Yul-Bataar), Anna Leong Brophy (Tamar Kir-Bataar), Jack Wolfe (Wylan Hendriks), and Patrick Gibson (Nikolai Lantsov). We can expect Jessie Mei Li to return as Alina Starkov if the show continues.

That includes Alina and Mal, who part ways to pursue their own callings, and the Crows, who are about to take on their biggest job ever.

As another chapter closes on Netflix's adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse novels, the characters are either changing course or starting anew. New journeys await at the end of Shadow and Bone season 2.
