Shadowhunters Hiatus News Roundup

Shadowhunters Hiatus News Roundup

Hey guys, since we have a monster hiatus stretching out in front of us I had an idea. I’m going to try and round up news from the show and maybe some fanfiction recommendations/fan art faves. So here we go with our first Shadowhunters Hiatus News Roundup.

As I’m sure many of you are aware, filming for season 3 began about a month ago.

The cast and crew are back in Toronto and we are already getting behind the scenes goodies. Whether it be Alisha Wainwright’s first on-set selfie as a season regular (she’s been upgraded for S3)

Or the hair/make-up test for Harry Shum Jr.’s Magnus Bane that basically broke my twitter feed. Everyone, meet the Banehawk!

Is it just me or can you not wait for Alec’s reaction to this look? Poor boy isn’t going to know what’s hit him!

After a holiday at home in the UK, Norfolk to be precise…

Will Tudor is back in Toronto so it looks like we’ll be seeing Sebastian/Jonathan again soon!

Showrunner Todd Slavkin has confirmed on twitter that the part of Lilith has been cast.

No actual identity for the actress yet, but for such a pivotal role we will definitely be staying tuned on this one. For those who might not have read the books/made the connection, the blackened figure who appeared at the end of S2 with Jonathan was Lilith.

The actresses who play Madzie and Aline Penhallow (Eileen Li) have been back on set. From social media we’ve seen them all back on set for costume fittings. Ariana Williams, who plays Madzie, caught up with her cast mates Dom, Kat and Emeraude on set and posted this cute snap

Shadowhunters at NYCC

The cast and crew of Shadowhunters are returning to New York Comic Con this year. On Saturday, October 7th Freeform will present a panel for Shadowhunters at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. This panel will include exclusive footage of the new season and a Q&A with executive producers, Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, Matt Hastings and members of the cast. We don’t know which cast members will be attending, but we will keep you posted for sure! Exclusive Shadowhunters NYCC posters designed by Marvel artists will be given out at the panel.

Shadowhunters have also launched their own, dedicated youtube channel which is pretty cool. No more trawling around the Freeform channel for Shadowhunters content, just hop over to the Shadowhunters channel, subscribe and never miss a video!

We will have reporters at NYCC this year so will try to bring you all the best Shadowhunters news as it happens. Stay tuned through this hiatus for more news and goodies.
