Magic is in the air, as the second season of Netflix’sShadow and Boneis rapidly approaching. With the new episodes coming to the platform on March 16, the marketing campaign for the series has been firing on all cylinders, and today it was the Wraith’s turn on the spotlight.Amita Sumanis featured in a new character poster for the season, where she can be seen ready for battle as Inej Ghafa, with a dagger on her hand. The dark background with a golden logo representing the character is similar to those seen in theother character postersNetflix has shared through social media over the past week.
InLeigh Bardugo’s spin-off books titledSix of Crows, it is explained that Inej grew up traveling around Ravka in Suli caravans performing acrobatics with her family. Ghafa’s abilities in combat can be traced back to her background, which would be helpful at the moment of training. When she was introduced in the television adaptation of the main book series, the character informs Kaz (Freddy Carter) about a job that would pay a huge reward if someone were to cross the Shadow Fold into east Ravka, setting in motion the events of thefirst season.
In an interview withCollider’s ownChristina Radishduring the promotion for the first season of the series, Suman explained how she was pleasantly surprised with how diverse the world ofShadow and Boneis. While talking about her audition process, she mentioned that “it was different for all of us. I know my experience was that I sent a self-tape through. In my breakdown, it had character fan art of what Inej looked like, and I was just astounded. The similarities that I shared with her and the fact that this is actually made for a Brown actress and not just ticking that diversity box or changing it to tick that diversity box.”
