Shadow and Bone's Anna Leong Brophy discusses joining the Netflix show, diversity, and season 3
"I don't think anyone can enter a series like this – the Grishaverse is a huge fantastical tapestry – and be completely chill about it," Brophy says."It's incredibly surreal. It was a fantastic experience because you're living out the fantasy you had as a child. I'm a good guy. I have magical powers. I get to kick ass.
season 2 has aided the fantasy genre in becoming a more inclusive environment. Brophy also discusses the hardest scene she filmed, the show's creative deviations from Leigh Bardugo's book series, and teases what to expect from a possible third season.'s major characters in season 2.Tamar's a character who originates from Shu Han, which is inspired by Mongolian and Chinese cultures and traditions.
I prefer an adaptation that's free – those are far more interesting because you're adding to the world, rather than recreating itHow did you collaborate with Lewis Tan, who plays Tamar's twin brother Tolya, to bring authenticity and a humorous sibling rivalry to this dynamic?I'm a big sister in real life, so I brought some of that energy to it.
There's a strong feeling that I think all mixed-race people have about not quite belonging or being visible on the screenYou briefly touched on the show's impact from an inclusivity perspective. How do you think Shadow and Bone differentiates itself from its fantasy peers in its portrayal of diversity and representation, particularly in its genre setting?I feel like there's an ease in its diversity, and it wears its inclusivity lightly.
