In fact, a petition was launched to bring the show back for a season 3, which received upwards of 200,000 signatures.
While Barnes’s time as the Darkling (spoiler) came to a dagger-induced end at the hands of Alina (Jessie Mei Li) in season 2, the star was eager to see the show continue beyond his departure, with a focus on his "favourite" Grishaverse gang.
"So I was kind of excited, just on everyone else's behalf, to see that come to life.
As mentioned, Barnes’s time on the show looked to be up before the cancellation (while the Darkling returns in novel King of Scars, he assumes a different body), but that hasn’t stopped him from returning to the realm of Leigh Bardugo’s work.
"I love fantasy worlds. I'm a big sci-fi, fantasy genre reader. That's what I read in my own time, mostly," he said.
"But I think, yeah, once you've been in something, you feel like that's part of the patchwork of your story as well.
"So, you know, if anyone ever asks you to revisit something like that, it's always very, very appealing to me to cement your part in whatever that thing was."
And the science fiction fan admitted he was excited to dive into the world of one of the genre’s most famous authors.
"He writes about hope and he writes about people trying to overcome unchecked authority, and this has a lot of those elements."
"And I think the cogs start to tick as to how the worlds are going to collide and how the stories are going to connect, and how the characters overcome the odds to challenge the system together."
