Maxim Roy Joins Shadowhunters
More new casting news has arrived for ABC Family’s “Shadowhunters” as Deadline is reporting that Maxim Roy as been cast as a recurring guest star in the straight-to-series affair. She will play Clary Fray’s mother, Jocelyn Fray.
Roy’s character is described as a very beautiful, warm, protective, and bold woman, who on the surface leads a normal life running an antiquities store. We will learn, however, that she harbors many secrets about a past life, particularly her ties to an ancient group of supernatural beings known as Shadowhunters. In order to defend Clary from danger, Jocelyn transforms from single mom back into one of the most lethal Shadowhunters that ever lived.
Based on the best-selling young-adult fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, “Shadowhunters” follows 18-year-old Clary (Katherine 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 (Roy; pictured), 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. The cast also includes Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa, Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum, Jr., and Alan Van Sprang in a recurring role.
“Shadowhunters” is produced by Constantin Film and executive produced by Ed Decter and McG. McG will also direct the first episode.
