In our last episode, we focus on the final episodes 7 and 8 of Shadow and Bone, where we discover the birth of the Shadow Fold and enter it for a final battle between light and dark. We hear from the folks behind the creation of the Fold, and the monsters that live within it, from VFX, to sound, to the backstory of our resident sad boy that everyone is literally dying to know.

In the Grishaverse, relationships are complicated: sun versus shadow, Grisha versus non-Grisha, state versus border. And relationships -- whether romantic or platonic -- are just as complicated, if not more when small science is involved. We’ll hear from writers, directors, and the man behind the mayhem, actor Ben Barnes (General Kirigan), on how light and dark often live side by side. Plus, we’ll talk with sound designers Craig Henigan and Brad North about how they used their craft to highlight the differences between good and evil.

We’re going even deeper into the Shadow and Bone Grishaverse as host  Brandon Jenkins sits down with the ultimate heist crew from Ketterdam -- The Crows -- played by Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, and Kit Young. The actors share how they brought their characters to life  and stories about one of their favorite guest castmates, who truly is the G.O.A.T. We’ll also hear how showrunner Eric Heisserer put together his own crack team of writers to combine the worlds of the Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows books.

Before it was a Netflix series, Shadow and Bone was a book by author Leigh Bardugo. This season of Behind the Scenes takes a tour of the world she created, called The Grishaverse. We’ll hear from Shadow and Bone’s Executive Producer/Showrunner/Writer Eric Heisserer, the author and Executive Producer Leigh Bardugo, as well as writer Christina Strain and lead actor Jessie Mei Li. They share how they combined the Shadow and Bone series and storylines from Six of Crows to present an alternate and even more inclusive Grishaverse for the screen. Plus, we provide you with all the backstory and  never-before-heard stories that you won’t want to miss.

Netflix is releasing a new fantasy series, and it’s time for another season of Behind the Scenes to get into how it all happens. This time, we’re diving head first into the epic world of Shadow and Bone. Starting April 28th, host Brandon Jenkins (Mogul; Complex) will sit down with the folks behind the scenes of the show. We’ll hear from showrunners and writers, actors and designers, special effects and more. Put on your shades because we’re summoning a lot of sun this season.

On this season of Behind the Scenes, we’ll dive deep into the making of Shadow and Bone. Get ready to learn how the characters and worlds from Leigh Bardugo’s best-selling books come to life on the screen. Find out how it all happens starting on April 28th. Hosted by Brandon Jenkins. 

Welcome to the world of Castlevania: a show adapted from a Japanese video game set in a gothic world of vampires, demons and monsters. We’ll speak with the Deats brothers about how they turned the original video games into an exciting animated series. We’ll also speak with Adam Connaroe, the technical director/key lighting about what goes into making this dark show come to life.

Learn all about the wild world of Simpson creator Matt Groenig’s Disenchantment. We hear from comedy legends Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, and Nat Faxon who voice Dreamland’s quirky characters. The trio gives us a sneak peek into the wacky antics and chaotic offscreen dynamic that bring their animated characters to life. It’s a wild ride complete with fake falls, true friends, and a lot of laughter.

Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos, the team that brought you Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, join us on the podcast to talk about their reboot of the 1980s franchise, Voltron. We’ll talk to them about growing up with the original run of the show, how animated series influenced them as kids, and how that influence inspired them when they were tasked with creating their own rendition of this animated classic.
