Six actors have joined the cast of Shadowhunters. Variety reports that Katherine McNamara will play Clary Fray, Dominic Sherwood will play Jace Herondale, Alberto Rosende will play Simon Lewis, Emeraude Toubia will play Isabelle Lightwood, Matthew Daddario will play Alec Lightwood, and Isaiah Mustafa will play Luke Garroway.
The story for this project was adapted from The Mortal Instruments series written by young adult novelist Cassandra Clare. At this point in time, the premiere date for this 13-episode drama has not been announced.
Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “Based on the best-selling young adult fantasy book series, Shadowhunters follows Clary Fray, who finds out on her 18th birthday that she is not who she thinks she is, but rather comes from a long line of Shadowhunters — human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When her mother is kidnapped, Clary is thrown into the world of demon hunting with mysterious Shadowhunter Jace and her best friend, Simon. Now living among faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, Clary begins a journey of self-discovery as she learns more about her past and what her future may hold.”
