Posted on April 18, 2015 by Alyssa Barbieri in Shadowhunters TV, The Mortal Instruments, TV // 9 Comments

Can you believe that is was just last Monday that it was announced that McG would be serving as an executive producer on Shadowhunters? Since then McG has been tweeting up a storm giving fans a play-by-play of all the action, including photos and videos, as the team is hard at work on the show.

Let’s recap what was a busy week for Shadowhunters executive producer McG, who took fans behind-the-scenes as he prepped for the show, including teases that left the fans begging for answers (and begging for Monday).

Seems like there’s something big happening on Monday. Could it be casting news? Suddenly we’re already wishing the weekend away!

Shadowhunters begins production next month in Toronto and is slated to premiere on ABC Family in early 2016.

I hope they use a Dark red like in the movies. I preffer that colour than the fiiery shade the books describe. It actually depens if teh girl can rock the look but im sure a darker red makes any girl look good.
I hope we have some cast annoucements on monday along with teh release of the third academy book.

yes!! I thought I was the only one who thought that. That dark red fits in the world of TMI better, it’s like a blood red

Does anyone know if Shadowhunters will be on ABC Spark too, or is it just ABC Family? I’m not sure if they have exactly the same shows.

Someone pointed out on Twitter that actor Dominic Sherwood and one of the casting directors Jonathan Clay Harris have started following each other on Twitter. I don’t know if its a hint that Dominic is involved in the show or not I just thought I would pass it along.
