Ben Barnes, known for his work on the Marvel series “The Punisher”, will be General Kirigan. The rest of the cast of the new Netflix production also features Jessie Mei Li as Alina Starkov, the protagonist of the book trilogy; Freddie Carter as Kaz Brekker, a brilliant artist who is the main character in the books of Six of Crows: Blood and Lies; Amita Suman being Inej Ghafa; Kit Young living Jesper Fahey; Archie Renaux as Malyen Oretsev; Calahan Skogman as Matthias Helvar; Danielle Galligan being Nina Zenik and Sujaya Dasgupta playing Zoya Nazyalensky.

“Shadow and Bones” takes place in the country known as Ravka, a kind of pre-revolutionary Russia, which is separated from the rest of the world by a deep sea full of vicious monsters. Ravka’s biggest advantage is the magical army – the Grisha – something that no other country has. Barnes’s character runs this faction.
Shadow and Bones still has no premiere date on Netflix.
