It’s been almost two years since Season 1 of Shadow and Bone premiered on Netflix in 2021. Just like you were patiently waiting for Alina and Mal to reunite, the time has come to return to the Grishaverse with Season 2 dropping on March 16. Ravka may be a fictional place, but you might be wondering whether Shadow and Bone Season 2 filming locations are places you can visit IRL.

Season 1 of Shadow and Bone found its home in Hungary, according to IMDb, and What’s On Netflix reported that they liked it so much that production returned for Season 2 of Shadow and Bone back in January 2022. Hungary is actually a popular filming locations for many fantasy and adventure series, like Moon Knight and The Witcher. With its castles and historic architecture, it’s no wonder Netflix chose Hungary as its backdrop to bring to life the world of Shadow and Bone. While they filmed a good chunk of the show at Origo Studios in Budapest, IRL locations like Festetics Castle in Keszthely were used for settings like the Little Palace of Ravka's Second Army.
