NYCC Breaking News: ABC’s Shadowhunters Reveals First Trailer

Revealed first at NYCC, the very first teaser for the new ABC Family series Shadowhunters was revealed and it certainly has us excited for what the series could be. Of special note as well is the networks name change from ABC Family to ABC Freeform. Interesting change but they promise they are the same network but offering broader options.

The series follows Clary, an 18 year old girl that finds out she’s part of a long line of angel-human hybrids that hunt down demons. A New York Times bestseller for 122 consecutive weeks, the series is considered a perfect fit for ABC Family. Ed Dector ( “Helix”) will serve as executive producer and showrunner for the series. Production began in May.

Unlike similar YA series “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent”, The Mortal Instruments already has 6 books out, and the expansive nature of the series lends itself more to a TV adaption where they are less likely to cut out important story points to fit it into a 2-hour movie. The 13 1-hour episodes are expected to start off with the first book and work their way through the rest as the series continues.
