ABC Family has quite a hot little project on its hands with “Shadowhunters.” Just check out all the Twitter hysteria today over the latest two bits of casting news for the show.

MTV breaks down the new characters for us:

  • Alec Lightwood (Daddario; Delivery Man, Cabin Fever remake), Isabelle’s older brother, is the most serious Shadowhunter. As the eldest of the group, he has a strict moral code, which makes it hard for him to express his feelings. He’s tortured by his romantic love for Jace, who is his adoptive brother.
  • Luke Garroway (Mustafa; Horrible Bosses; ex-Old Spice guy) is an NYPD detective investigating a string of “demonic” murders (a change from the books that should result in an expanded role for him). Being Jocelyn Fray’s best friend, Luke feels a fatherly instinct to protect Jocelyn’s daughter, Clary, the plucky protagonist at the center of “Shadowhunters.” He also harbors feelings for Jocelyn, but that’s for another story. Once a strong and powerful Shadowhunter, he has since become the thing he once hated most — a werewolf pack leader.

McG will direct the premiere episode.

“Shadowhunters” follows 18-year-old Clary Fray (Kat McNamara), who finds out on her 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, Jocelyn, is kidnapped, Clary is thrown into the world of demon hunting with mysterious Shadowhunter Jace (Dominic Sherwood) and her best friend, Simon (Alberto Rosende). 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.
