Deadline is reporting that McG is set to direct the opening episode of Shadowhunters for ABC family. The show is based on Cassandra Clare’s YA fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments, which, if you remember, had a feature film adaptation of the first book in the series, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones in 2013. McG will also act as executive producer on the show alongside writer-showrunner Ed Decter.
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.
Shadowhunters will debut on the network in 2016
