“Daisy Head, who plays Genya, she’s the love of my life; I would marry her if she was gay but she’s not. She’s one of my best friends in the world. And it’s funny because we sort of laughed about how Alina and Genya just have so much chemistry because we love each other so much.”
Alina Starkov deserves to have her time to finally shine in a show that is about HER and HER story.
She deserves a season where she’s actually treated as the main lead as she was always supposed to be.
Jessie Mei Li deserves a chance to play her to the fullest.

Jessie Mei Li has arrived in Budapest to start filming for

season two ☀️ Other actors with them, confirmed so far, are Ben Barnes and Freddy Carter!
“It was exciting because there are little hints at Alina being tempted by power and having a bit of darkness. For me, it actually makes sense that this character, who had a really hard life, does have that side to her.”
Jessie Mei Li should arrive in Budapest any time now to start filming for “Shadow and Bone” season two! We will be posting all updates regarding shooting and Jessie so stay tuned ☀️🎬

Josh Barry said on Instagram they will be doing night shots at Budapest Castle today! He also posted a throwback of Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes filming at this location for season 1… a little tease they will be filming tonight? 👀
FYI: Jessie Mei Li clarified a miscommunication that happened in her latest interview where they called her non binary on the Instagram caption. This is very important, please pay attention 👐
“So it’s almost like we accidentally gave the characters a bit of spice. We just can’t help it. So there’s definitely more Alina and Genya just being in love with each other, but not specifically intimately.”
