Isaiah Mustafa Cast As Luke Garroway in The 'Shadowhunters TV Series'


We have our Luke! ABC Family made the official announcement here. Or in other words, the Old Spice Guy is our Luke! Per ABC Family:

Luke Garroway is an NYPD detective investigating a string of "demonic" murders. Luke feels a fatherly instinct to protect Clary, a strong affection for Jocelyn and has secrets of his own. Once a strong and powerful Shadowhunter, he has since become the thing he once hated most – a werewolf pack leader.

To be honest, I didn't have anyone pictured in my mind to play Luke, but I'm loving that they cast Isaiah Mustafa to play him. I think he's going to do an awesome job with bringing Luke to life.

Here's what ABC Family's @ShadowhuntersTV tweeted out yesterday:

Exciting news!  will play Luke Garroway on !!!! 

Matthew Daddario Cast As Alec Lightwood In The 'Shadowhunters TV Series'



We have our Alec! ABC Family made the official announcement here. Yesterday Cassandra Clare also shared the exciting news about Matthew Daddario playing Alec, and had this to say (*I highlighted a certain part of what she said so fans can see that Cassie thought Matthew would make the perfect Alec*):

Matthew Daddario has been cast to play Alec Lightwood in the Shadowhunters TV show.
There’s actually a story here, which is that I first saw Matthew’s audition in a set of auditions for Jace. I tagged it “Would be perfect Alec” and sent to the producers. People often forget I think but in the beginning of the books Alec is a center point of stability and Izzy and Jace are both kind of spinning off. He projected a gravitas that worked for Alec for me.
That was before anyone, even Dom, was cast — and literally last night/this morning I heard he’d come in to audition in LA, and that everyone loved him and he was Alec. I was stunned — but I had seen him and loved him much earlier, though admittedly I saw him try out for Jace!
The Lightwoods I’ve been told are going to be a mixed race family so I look forward to seeing who is cast as Robert, Maryse and Max.
Now we just need our Magnus….;)
I love this casting choice! YES, now we need our Magnus!

Matthew and Isaiah announced and Luke and Alec! I’m a little alarmed how attractive this cast is…

YES, this cast is definitely stunning! I think they compliment the Shadowhunter book characters well. I LOVE the diversity of this cast. This such a compliment for the book series, which was made up of a diverse cast of characters.

ABC FAMILY HAS ADDED MATTHEW DADDARIO AND ISAIAH MUSTAFA
TO THE SAGA SERIES “SHADOWHUNTERS”

Daddario and Mustafa Joins Previously Announced Katherine McNamara as ‘Clary Fray,’ Dominic Sherwood as ‘Jace Wayland,’ Alberto Rosende as ‘Simon’ and Emeraude Toubia as ‘Isabelle Lightwood’

Burbank, CA (May 8, 2015) – ABC Family continues to add to the “Shadowhunters” crew with the casting of Matthew Daddario (“Delivery Man”) as ‘Alec Lightwood’ and Isaiah Mustafa (“Horrible Bosses”) as ‘Luke Garroway.’ 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.
Alec Lightwood joins Jace and his sister, Isabelle, in their pursuit of demonic creatures. He’s tortured by his romantic love for Jace, who is his adoptive brother and fighting partner. The eldest of the group, his strict moral code forces him to follow the law to the letter.

Luke Garroway is an NYPD detective investigating a string of "demonic" murders. Luke feels a fatherly instinct to protect Clary, a strong affection for Jocelyn and has secrets of his own. Once a strong and powerful Shadowhunter, he has since become the thing he once hated most – a werewolf pack leader.

“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 Katherine McNamara as ‘Clary Fray,’ Dominic Sherwood for the role of ‘Jace Wayland,’ Alberto Rosende as ‘Simon’ and Emeraude Toubia as ‘Isabelle Lightwood.’
