The best gift you can give to a fandom as its favorite series is currently filming its television show is the gift of behind-the-scenes photos. And Shadowhunters certainly delivered on Day 2 of filming on episode 1.

Check out these two new behind-the-scenes shots from a scene being filmed for the pilot episode of Shadowhunters, which features Katherine McNamara as Clary and a mystery woman.

  Oh my goodness and Cassie confirms it is indeed her! So she’s maybe a little closer with Clary, a small character? because they haven’t announced casting, and wearing an epic patterned dress!

  Yes I really don’t want us to miss out! Hopefully it will but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. It will probably end up being on like foxtel or something.

We haven’t had any Raphael Santiago and Hodge Starkweather casting announcement either, and I’m starting to thinki we won’t be having them at all…

  I’m going to be really disappointed if they forget Raphael again

    Cassie tweeted a while ago that she was told he will be in it 😀

    I’m going to be really disappointed if they leave out Hodge as well. He was an important character to Alec, Izzy, and Jace… his betrayal has repercussions.

That lady may be actually Dorothea. Much more beautiful than I expected, I must say

Just wondering, I checked out on Twitter that there will be a new character, not from the books named Midori. Does anyone know a little more about her?
- James // May 26, 2015 at 10:15 PM // Reply
  
  She’s a character created for the show as another associate of Valentine’s, along with Pangborn & Blackwell.

    Cool. Thanks!

    Maybe trying to throw in some evil female characters!

The moment there’s a CUP that looks incredibly like the mortal cup behind the two hugging people and no one seems to have noticed.

Hard to see but…. I think Jocelyn could have red hair yaay! But it’s ok if she doesn’t 🙂

  She does… saw it in another picture!

I am LOVING seeing this all come together!!! ❤

I happened to open the site IMDb and noticed that Midori has disappeared from the cast, both character’s name and picture of the actress…

Did you guys know that the person clary is hugging, is actually her best friend in the show instead of Simon? I was so mad when I found out, honestly I would rather have more camera time on Izzy and Alec instead of a made up character.

  That is Dorthea not a made-up character.
