Meanwhile, on Twitter, showrunner Eric Heisserer revealed even more incredible news - the entirety of season two has already been written and is ready to shoot!
"In January, Netflix sent us off to write the scripts with the hope that we'd get renewed and could hit the ground running," he wrote. "This is common practice, but it's just as common you do all that writing and don't get picked up. So we're lucky and thrilled to continue."

More than 55million viewers tuned in to watch the show in its first 28 days after it landed on the streaming platform in April, making it one of the most-watched shows worldwide so we're hardly surprised to hear of its renewal.

If the show continues to follow the arc of the Grisha trilogy, season two should see the likes of Nikolai Lantsov and Wylan Van Eck introduced into the story, although casting on either has yet to be announced.
As for the plot, given that season one focused on the first book in the Grisha trilogy, fans can expect season two to follow the storyline of the second book, Siege and Storm. Author Leigh also has many more novels under her belt, including the Six of Crows duology and King of Scars duology that could also be incorporated into new episodes too.
