ABC FAMILY COMPLETES ITS SERIES REGULAR CAST WITH HARRY SHUM JR. AS 'MAGNUS BANE' FOR THE SAGA SERIES "SHADOWHUNTERS"

Burbank, CA (May 8, 2015) - ABC Family rounds out their cast for "Shadowhunters" with a little magic in the casting of Harry Shum Jr. ("Glee") as 'Magnus Bane.' It was announced today by the network.

Based on the bestselling young adult fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, "Shadowhunters" follows 18-year-old Clary Fray, 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 and her best friend, Simon. 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.

Magnus Bane is the high warlock of Brooklyn. With eccentric style, he's fierce, cunning and keeps his cards close to his chest. Though he looks like he's in his 20s, he's hundreds of years old - which makes him wiser and wary of others.

"Shadowhunters" is produced by Constantin Film and executive produced by Ed Decter and McG. McG will also direct the first episode. The network has previously announced series regulars Katherine McNamara as 'Clary Fray,' Dominic Sherwood as 'Jace Wayland,' Alberto Rosende as 'Simon,' Emeraude Toubia as 'Isabelle Lightwood,' Matthew Daddario as 'Alec Lightwood' and Isaiah Mustafa as 'Luke Garroway.' Alan Van Sprang was announced earlier today as a recurring guest star in the role of 'Valentine.'
