Instagram has always been a popular social media platform for singers and actors alike to communicate with their fans, and it seems like TV broadcast stations are starting to use the photo-sharing app to tease their fans too.
In March, ABC Family announced that “The Mortal Instruments” books will be adapted into a 13-episodes TV series titled “Shadowhunters“.

A few days after the announcement, an Instagram account was created for the TV series. But it was only a month later that the generous admins picked up speed, and uploaded a bunch of updates regarding the production. Yesterday, 2 photos from the set of “Shadowhunters” were posted on the account, and it sent fans into a frenzy.

“Shadowhunters” is based on the bestselling fantasy book series “The Mortal Instruments”. Both novel and TV series focus on the life of Clarissa Adele Fray, or better known as Clary, who finds out that she is descended from a long line of angel-human demon-killing hybrids, the Shadowhunters. An movie adaptation of the novel, titled “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”, was released in 2013.
Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Emeraude Toubia, Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum Jr, Maxim Roy, Isaiah Mustafa, and Alan van Sprang will star in the TV series adaptation.
Principal photography for the TV series will officially start on 25th May, although the broadcast date has yet to be announced.
