Netflix has released first-look images for Shadow and Bone, a new eight-episode fantasy series premiering on April 23. The new photos offer fans an early glimpse at some of the characters in the series, including Kaz "Dirtyhands" Brekker, portrayed by Freddy Carter, who leads a gang known as the Dregs. Kaz is pictured alongside Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman), a dangerous spy operating on behalf of the ragtag crew, and Jesper Fahey (Kit Young), a sharpshooter who keeps one hand on his gun. In another shot, Inej, also known as The Wraith, is shown delicately gripping onto one of her many knives, which are all named after saints, whilst a further picture captures a warm embrace between Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), the series' central protagonist, and her childhood best friend, Malyen Oretsev (Archie Renaux), a gifted tracker and military man whose world is said to unravel after a brutal ambush. Ben Barnes is pictured as General Kirigan, aka The Darkling, the power-hungry leader of the Second Army, the kingdom's magical military regiment of Grisha soldiers.
