On Tuesday, the streaming service released the official trailer for the magical show, which is based on the bestselling fantasy book series by author Leigh Bardugo.
In the new trailer, Alina, who is a mapmaker in the king's First Army, is revealed as a Sun Summoner — someone who can summon light and potentially destroy the dangerous Fold that overshadows the land. After Alina's powers are discovered, General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), a shadow summoner, brings her to train at the palace with him. |
"Our enemies are threatened by your mere existence," he tells her in the trailer. "Everybody's looking at me like I am the answer," Alina says.
Alina's best friend, Malyen Oretsev (Archie Renaux), later warns her that everyone will be after her because of her powers. "The only thing more powerful than you or me: the two of us together," General Kirigan tells Alina in an ominous tone.
In addition to Li, the cast includes Freddy Carter as Kaz Brekker, Amita Suman as Inej and Kit Young as Jesper Fahey. Bardugo, who is serving as an executive producer, said the adaption series will combine storylines from her Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, which take place in the same universe, but on different timelines, People noted.
