Jade Hassouné Joins ABC Family’s Shadowhunters
As ABC Family readies their young adult adaptation “Shadowhunters” for filming, the cast is filling out, and we’ve got another announcement on tap for you today. So read on for the latest, if The Mortal Instruments is your particular cup of tea!
The Wrap reports that Jade Hassouné has just joined the cast of “Shadowhunters,” playing a recurring character by the name of Meliorn. He’s described as a handsome and elegant fairy, also known as a Seelie, a creature that is equal parts angel and demon.
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 (Maxim Roy), 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 Jon Cor, 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.
