Netflix is gearing up to release a brand new young adult fantasy series called Shadow and Bone!

The streaming platform revealed that the upcoming show will be out in April 2021 with a little teaser video.

Shadow and Bone is based off the book series of the same name by Leigh Bardugo, who actually serves as an executive producer on the show.

“We’ve taken the stories of Shadow and Bone and the characters of Six of Crows and we’ve brought them together in what I think will be a really unexpected way,” Leigh said in a Netflix Q&A, via People. “When they watch this show, audiences are going to encounter a world that feels fully realized — but that doesn’t feel like any place they’ve been before. When I was on set, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay in that world longer.”

If you’re new around here, the number on thing you must know is that we love love love The Chronicles of Narnia franchise…and Ben Barnes obviously knows that.

Earlier this week, the Prince Caspain star gathered all the cast that he could for a mini reunion dinner and shared the pic with his fans on social media.

Ben, along with Georgie Henley (Lucy), Anna Popplewell (Susan), and William Moseley (Peter) met up with producer Andrew Adamson and Alina Phelan Ballou, who played a centaur in the first film and a midwife in the second.

“#Narnia reunion dinner over a decade on! 🦁 🧙🏽‍♀️🚪👑 🗡,” Ben captioned on his feed, asking later, “#whereareyouskandar?”
