Shadowhunters adds Chai Hansen as Jordan Kyle
It’s official folks. After the announcement at SDCC 2017 that we would indeed be getting to see a new character in season 3, today we officially met him. Aussie actor Chai Hansen will be taking on the role of Jordan Kyle. Chai has recently been seen in The 100 and is also in the upcoming revamped The New Legends of Monkey.
As well as some first look pictures from EW, Chai also recorded a video which Shadowhunters just shared on their twitter

As if there isn’t enough cute right there to blow a hole in the Downworld, there’s also a stupidly adorable message from Chai that you can find HERE on freeform’s website.
Book fans will know that Jordan Kyle is a character who has a LOT of baggage and story, and interacts with some key members of the main cast in some impactful ways.
“Jordan comes into Simon’s life in a fun, unexpected way,” showrunners Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer told EW. “The two instantly hit it off, but we soon find out there’s a lot more to Jordan than meets the eye, and repercussions that affect more than just Simon.”
