Katherine McNamara recently mentioned Harry in an interview with Buzzfeed

13. And during the entire run of the series, Kat said one of the people she learned from the most was Harry Shum Jr.
She gushed about Harry’s work ethic, saying, “He’s the Magnus to my Clary in every sense. Harry’s just a master to work with. He really is. He knows so much, is so smart, so funny, and so quick on his feet, that it’s like watching a master’s class working with them.”

Hello everyone,
just a short message that this site isn’t dead or anything but thanks to the pandemic a lot of things stopped happening,e.g. events in Hollywood so no new photos. And conventions Harry is announced as guests for are all postponed till next year. Sadly with nothing happening this site has gotten less visitors as usually so maybe by tomorrow the site and gallery will be gone, I don’t know for sure but it can happen. Don’t worry though, I won’t leave. I’m still on Twitter and I might relaunch my Tumblr page as well 🙂 Keep an eye out on my Twitter for more about that.

In case my site is really gone soon I just want to thank each and everyone for visiting during those 4 years the site was online. And don’t be too sad: I’ll still be on Twitter and posting news and new photos in hd if possible as soon as I can.

Have a nice evening everyone and see ya

Hi guys,
I hope you’re doing ok considering all that has happened and is still happening. Stay healthy and fight for what is right!

(sadly there’s not much news about Harry or new photos but that’s not a surprise!)

Best wishes from the admin of this page

Price for his extras can be found here:

I just realized that I never actually posted something about the photos I posted from the Shadowhunters convention Pandemonium Con 2 in London back in October 2019, guests were Matthew Daddario, Nicola Correia-Damude, Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Luke Baines, Chai Hansen, Jade Hassouné. So here are the links to the photos

I hope you all had a wonderful start into the year 2020 :). I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Harry in 2020.

As I already announced on Twitter there will also be more autograph giveaways happening this year, sadly Harry isn’t confirmed as guest for any convention in Europe yet so I can’t promise autograph giveaways of Harry for now but there will be a Nicola and a Matthew one after Pandemonium Con 3 in London in October 😉

We did it guys. Shadowhunters won in the category the show was nominated in!

Harry was cast in Movie Thriller ‘Broadcast Signal Intrusion’

As you know from my tweets I was recently at the Pandemonium Convention in London and I brought back another autograph of Matthew Daddario that I will giveaway late in November so keep an eye on my Twitter 🙂 I will also post hd photos of both convention days, even though sadly Harry wasn’t a guest at the convention but Matt, Kat, Dom, Nicola, Luke, Chai and Jade were there.

Shum Jr. will star opposite Jessica Rothe in the film based on a real-life couple who was faced with devastating news as they were planning their wedding.

Crazy Rich Asians actor Harry Shum Jr. will star in Universal’s All My Life, inspired by the life of Jenn Carter and her husband Solomon Chau.

Shum Jr., also known for his starring role on six seasons of the hit show Glee, will play Chau, while Jessica Rothe has been cast as Carter.

The bittersweet story centers on a young couple as they plan their wedding in the face of devastating news. The couple, who had been planning their Toronto wedding since April 2014, found out that Chau had liver cancer in December of that year. To make sure they got the wedding of their dreams, they moved the date up to April 11, 2015, and they raised more than $52,000 through a GoFundMe account. They were married for four months before he died.

As you might know I attended The Italian Institute 3 in Milan last Sunday and I once again had the best time ever. I got to meet Harry again and also Emeraude and Luke who I hadn’t met before. It was an exhausting day but it was definitely worth it!

As promised here are more photos of The Hunters of Shadow in Brussels last weekend

As you might know I attended The Hunters of Shadow in Brussels last weekend and I had the best time ever. I finally got to meet Harry after I waited more than 8 years for it.
I’m also doing three more autograph giveaways (1 Harry, 1 Matt and 1 Kat autograph) soon so keep an eye on my Twitter ;).

Now to the main update: I finally uploaded the first couple of photos (not just of Harry but of every guest), there will be more soon. For now there are just the ones I took with my camera on Saturday (June 22), next up will be the ones I took with my camera on Sunday (June 23) and then I’ll upload the ones I took with my phone (almost 300, sadly not as good as the ones I took with my camera) 🙂

Hanging with the Shadowhunters cast is SO MUCH FUN. Want proof? Just check out these outtakes from our Farewell to Shadowhunters series, featuring Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum Jr, Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alisha Wainwright, Alberto Rosende, Isaiah Mustafa, and Luke Baines (singing a lovely rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Dream Lover”).

Yesterday Harry and Shelby attended the premiere of Always Be My Maybe

We sat down with Shadowhunters stars Harry Shum Jr and Matthew Daddario to talk about the series finale of the Freeform hit and where they see Malec in the future.

Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Emeraude Toubia & Harry Shum Jr talk to the fans from the set of the series finale.

Only ET has the exclusive footage of Katherine McNamara and the ‘Shadowhunters’ stars sharing tear-jerking goodbyes to the fans.

In our final episode of Farewell to Shadowhunters, the stars of Shadowhunters — Matthew Daddario (Alec), Harry Shum Jr. (Magnus), Katherine McNamara (Clary), Dominic Sherwood (Jace), Alisha Wainwright (Maia), Alberto Rosende (Simon) and Isaiah Mustafa (Luke) — say goodby to the show and thank the Shadowhunters fandom for their support following an emotional series finale.

We’ve had many adventures with the actors from Freeform’s “Shadowhunters” over the years, and now that the show is ending after Season 3, we invite Katherine McNamara, Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa, Alisha Wainwright, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, and Harry Shum Jr. to the Young Hollywood Studio to see them off in style — with a game of Loaded Questions mixed with a Beanboozled Challenge! The rules are simple: each actor is provided with a loaded question and a jellybean which could be a yummy flavor or a nasty one. The actor reads the question to themselves and answers it out loud, and they can choose to either reveal the question or take their chances with the jellybean instead! Who among the cast has the stomach for our game?!

Panda Express is celebrating Asian-American Originals like entertainer Harry Shum Jr. Harry talks about identifying with people from different backgrounds, dancing as a way to see past stereotypes, and always looking for the right roles. Explore now: https://www.apahm.pandaexpress.com

How well does the Shadowhunters cast know their show? We put Matthew Daddario (Alec), Harry Shum Jr. (Magnus), Katherine McNamara (Clary), Dominic Sherwood (Jace), Isaiah Mustafa (Luke), Luke Baines (Jonathan), Alisha Wainwright (Maia), Alberto Rosende (Simon) to the test in this game of Who Said It: Shadowhunters Edition.

The final chapter is here, and with it, one last hunt.

The team of harryshumjr.us wishes the wonderful, talented and kind guy named Harry Shum Jr. a happy, happy birthday. We love you and we’ll always support you!

Harry Shum Jr. joins us on Farewell to Shadowhunters to talk about Magnus’ walk down Malec memory lane in Season 3, Episode 19 “ Aku Cinta Kamu.” Would Magnus really have erased all his memories of Alec? And can Asmodeus be trusted or is he manipulating his son? Shum Jr. also reveals which of Magnus’ possessions he took with him when Shadowhunters wrapped!

Jordan tells Maia to use the Heavenly Fire serum, and the Shadowhunters get ready to defend Idris.

Shadowhunters season 3 is almost over 😩 (#saveshadowhunters) but before we say goodbye Kat McNamara, Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum Jr. and Emeraude Toubia stopped by to play Superlatives. They told us who’s most likely to end up at Pandemonium club, who could secretly be a Shadowhunter, who would have the Sight to See the Shadow World and who is thinking about getting a rune tattoo IRL. Plus who in the cast thinks Matt Daddario has the prettiest eyes (we totally agree btw 😍).

Alec makes arrangement for his surprise proposal.

Alec plans to pop the question, while Simon goes undercover.

Alec blames himself for Magnus’ condition.

Harry (Glee, Crazy Rich Asians) and Matthew (Shadowhunters) are responding to your thirsty tweets – what is a block of sexy anyway? #Malec

The cast of Shadowhunters (Katherine Mcnamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Harry Shum Jr., Isaiah Mustafa, Alisha Wainwright, and Emeraude Toubia) take our quiz to find out which character from the show they REALLY are…and it turns out that one of them is pretty popular.

Alec suspects that Magnus is hiding something.

The stars of ‘Shadowhunters’ play a wild game of Truth or Dare. Can Matthew Daddario do an accurate animal impression? What is the most awkward date Harry Shum, Jr has been? What is the first thing Katherine McNamara would do if she were invisible?

‘Heart of Life’ will reunite the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ star and ‘Shadowhunters’ grad with former Freeform exec turned ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke, while Findlay returns to the network after ‘How to Get Away With Murder.’

Harry Shum Jr. and Katie Findlay are ready to get down to some John Mayer.

The Crazy Rich Asians and Shadowhunters star and How to Get Away With Murder grad will feature in Heart of Life, an ABC pilot inspired by the John Mayer song of the same name.

The drama follows two sets of adult siblings from wildly different worlds who discover they are related and must reassess everything they thought they knew about their shared father. As they explore the mysteries of their separate childhoods, they’ll experience the difficulty in overcoming the sins of the past and learn the joys of reuniting with long-lost family.

Shum and Findlay will play siblings Brendan and Sydney Winter. Sydney is described as ambitious, caring and awkward and a type-A personality who takes over her father’s architecture firm. Brendan is a self-centered world traveler who is good at getting by on his father’s money and is often the voice of reason.

Shadowhunters is once again nominated for a GLAAD award in the category Outstanding Drama Series. And not just Shadowhunters is nominated. Crazy Rich Asians is nominated too!

Edit: After the Cocktails with the SAG Awards event Harry was a guest at the Karate Combat event

Harry Shum Jr. on misperceptions about Asian-Americans being obedient and how he had to break the rules to challenge the system of whitewashing and Asian caricatures in Hollywood.

Harry is attending the 24th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards right now and I’ve already got some photos for you.

Crazy Rich Asians won as Best Comedy

With the loss of Clary after Lilith’s apartment exploded, Alec, Isabelle and Jace try to come to terms with what has happened. Glad to have their brother back, Alec and Isabelle are still worried about Jace, who is taking the actions of The Owl very hard. Magnus is also mourning the loss of his magic and finds himself in a new position—having to rely on others for help.

Meanwhile, Maia tries to help a devastated Simon who has lost his family and his best friend. But unknown to everyone, Clary is alive and finds herself in a new and dangerous predicament.

When a hero falls, the guilt becomes unbearable.

Ken Jeong Cracks Christmas is the ultimate comedic quest to explore Christmas traditions and unexpected stories behind the world’s most celebrated holiday. Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians, Hangover, Community), a self-proclaimed holiday fanatic, who has seen the Nutcracker over forty-five times and obsesses over his family holiday card for months, immerses himself into different worlds filled with 200 Santas, carolers and ballerinas, alongside celebrity friends Joel McHale, Angela Kinsey and Harry Shum Jr.

From dancing with Beyoncé to starring in cult favorite Shadowhunters, there’s just something about Harry.

Nobody could have predicted how Harry Shum Jr. made it to Hollywood. He definitely didn’t take the typical path, and even when he tells it, his story sounds too kismet to be true. Born in Costa Rica to Chinese immigrant parents, the actor moved to San Francisco, then Grover Beach—“a town no one really knows”—when he was nine, and immediately began working at his parents’ Chinese restaurant. Growing up, he was learning English, struggling to make friends, and had trouble finding his footing—until he literally found it through dance. He moved to L.A. and scored a gig as a backup dancer for Beyoncé. Then came Glee and Shadowhunters. Then came Crazy Rich Asians. And here we are.

Fittingly for a dancer, a series of steps is the perfect way to describe his career. “My dad always taught me to take small steps. And I’m okay with that, because I want longevity with this. I don’t want to just be burnt out in the beginning,” Shum explains as we sit down following a full morning of shooting his best moves for ELLE.com.

When the now 36-year-old moved to L.A. on a whim fresh out of high school, he spent the first week dancing eight hours every single day, and immediately landed his first tour with dance DJ Cassy. Choreographer Jamal Sims, who worked on the Step Up movies, saw him in class and asked him to go on the road. “I probably would have done it for free if they didn’t say they were going to pay me,” Shum shrugs.

Then came the call that would change anyone’s life. “I was eating dinner and they were like, ‘We’re interested in you going on tour with Beyoncé.’ I just ran as quick as possible and auditioned in front of Beyoncé to make sure she approved, which she did. It was crazy.” He still remembers the entire choreography to “Naughty Girl” and “Baby Boy.” “They just sit in my brain. The songs you love, they’re just in you forever.”

Get a first look at Malec in the brand new episodes of Shadowhunters season 3B

[…] As for Alec and Magnus, the latter of whom sacrificed his powers to save Jace in the midseason finale, you can also expect plenty of drama in the show’s final run. “It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also beautiful” Slavkin tells TVLine of the journey “Malec” will take in the coming months. “[Magnus] learns how to live in the moment, something he never had to do when he had powers. Season 3B is such a rollercoaster ride for Magnus Bane. We loved his arc in 3A, but for Harry Shum, Jr. as an actor, it’s a hell of a journey. It’s beautiful and profound and it’ll break your heart. You’re in for a ride that’s really intense to watch.” […]

The creative team behind Warner Bros.’ breakout romantic comedy is planning to reunite for the sequel, based on Kevin Kwan’s second book, ‘China Rich Girlfriend.’

[…]

Warner Bros. has not yet officially greenlighted the sequel (it’s standard practice for a studio to take a wait-and-see approach with a new potential franchise) but is moving forward on development. The studio and its CEO and chairman Kevin Tsujihara took a risk by greenlighting a comp-less film starring an all-Asian cast and a very specific story set in Singapore, but with the massive opening weekend results, a strong performance in weeks to come will all but guarantee the sequel is a go. The $30 million production, the first Hollywood studio movie since 1993’s The Joy Luck Club to feature an all-Westernized Asian ensemble, has opened better than any other comedy this year and any rom-com since 2015’s Trainwreck.

Warner Bros. has the option for Kevin Kwan’s entire trilogy, which includes 2015’s China Rich Girlfriend and 2017’s Rich People Problems. “We have a plan with Kevin for the next two films,” says producer Simpson.

Chu smartly teased the possible sequel in the final moments of the first film. Like any classic romantic comedy, Crazy Rich Asians wraps up happily ever after, with the entire ensemble gathered on the rooftop of Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands resort to celebrate the engagement of Nick (Henry Golding) and Rachel (Constance Wu). But unlike most romantic comedies, the Warner Bros. hit actually ends with a mid-credits scene more commonly seen nowadays in Marvel movies, teasing the subject of the next installment.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
The stinger features Nick’s newly single cousin Astrid (Gemma Chan) exchanging meaningful glances at the party with a handsome man (Glee alum Harry Shum Jr.), Charlie Wu, whom fans of Kwan’s novels recognize as Astrid’s first love.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted Charlie dancing with Astrid in the trailer (a few tantalizing seconds that were instantly immortalized in GIFs), but the moment — which took place earlier in the film, at Colin (Chris Pang) and Araminta’s (Sonoya Mizuno) wedding reception — was excised from the film’s final cut, in part to avoid giving the impression that Astrid was leaving her husband, Michael (Pierre Png), for another man.

Instead, Charlie and Astrid’s second chance at romance would take place during a second film, Chu tells THR. “The idea is to tell the story in the next movie,” he says, adding that Shum’s appearance in Crazy Rich Asians was always intended to be a cameo. “I made a promise to Harry, so I’m going to do it.”

In addition to developing Charlie and Astrid’s relationship, China Rich Girlfriend also follows Nick and Rachel to China on her search for her father. But China’s cooperation with such a sequel remains in question, as its government has in recent years strenuously tried to downplay the country’s uber-wealthy class. Crazy Rich Asians has yet to obtain a China release, and a Chinese translation of the 2013 novel was only made available in the country this year.

ET spoke with the actors about the show’s lasting legacy at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards.

Harry and Shelby along with Matt, Dom, Alberto, Kat, Emeraude and Anna are attending the Teen Choice Awards.

While Malec, Anna, Dom, Kat & Emeraude didn’t win, Shadowhunters and Matt did win. Congratulations guys, nobody deserves it more!

In case you’re wondering: The Teen Choice Awards are taking place this Sunday, August 12!

The last episodes will air in 2019.

After three seasons on Freeform, the drama series Shadowhunters has been cancelled. The show’s final episodes will air in spring 2019.
Shadowhunters’s imminent ending was announced by Deadline, which reported that there is some good news for viewers — the show intends to give viewers closure with its remaining episodes. The final ten episodes of season three will air in Spring 2019, along with two additional episodes that will wrap up the story. The final season has been titled Shadowhunters: The Final Hunt.

In a statement, Freeform addressed the network’s decision, saying, “We are very proud of Shadowhunters, a series that broke new ground in the genre world and became a fan favorite. However, along with our partners at Constantin, we reached the very difficult decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. But as big supporters and fans ourselves, Freeform insisted on and championed the filming of a special two-part finale that would give devoted fans a proper ending. The twelve episodes will air in spring of 2019. We want to thank our talented creators, producers, cast and crew along with our colleagues at Constantin for their hard work and dedication and to Cassie Clare for her incredible book series. We look forward to the final chapter of this breakthrough drama.”

Is it time for Magnus and Alec to take the next step in their spellbinding relationship?

In the next all-new episode of Shadowhunters, Alec confesses the he spends “almost every night” at Magnus’ place and he thinks the time is right for the couple to move in together — and only ET has your sneak peek of the swoon-worthy moment!

To make matters even more magical, we called up Shadowhunters star Harry Shum Jr. and the actor is spilling exclusive secrets about Malec’s “special” bond. Plus, read on to discover the behind-the-scenes details that Shum and Matthew Daddario like to add to their scenes in order to deepen Magnus and Alec’s onscreen chemistry.

ET: We can practically already hear the Malec fans’ screams of delight while watching our exclusive sneak peek clip! First off, how are you feeling about where Magnus and Alec are as a couple this season?

Harry Shum Jr.: Well I think they’ve gone through a lot. In the real world, it’s really only been a short period of time — I think about eight weeks or something like that — that they’ve actually been together. So it’s a whirlwind of being swept up and being really into each other, yet having your world in danger as well, so you kind of get closer in that sense. So I think for the next step, since they see each other all the time and instead of going back and forth, why not be in the same place and move in? So I think the fans will really enjoy that and the progression of that.

When you read in the script that Alec comes to Magnus and suggests that they move in together, what was your initial reaction?

I always err on the side of caution whenever that question gets brought up [Laughs] because when you don’t know a lot of things about someone, that can always cause some confusion in the beginning part [of a relationship]. Like, “I thought that you would like this or that,” so I don’t know. I think it’ll be interesting to see it unfold — especially with these characters. I think Magnus, who is set in his particular ways, is very different than Alex, so I think that’s going to be the fun in seeing what happens.

We finally got a poster for Shadowhunters Season 3. Check it out below

“Shadowhunters” Season 3 – Tuesdays through May 29, 2018

March 20 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT) – Episode 3001 – “On Infernal Ground”
In the season three premiere, secrets abound as the Shadowhunters and Downworlders try to get back to normal after Valentine’s death.

March 27 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT) – Episode 3002 – “The Powers That Be”
The Warlocks’ magic is becoming corrupted by a demonic presence while Izzy and Luke try to track down more information on the recent series of possessions.

Synopsis

Secrets abound as the Shadowhunters and Downworlders try to get back to normal after Valentine’s death.

In the Cassandra Clare books, Lilith (Hopkins, here with guest star Randal Edwards) is the mother of Warlocks but, Slavkin said, “we have our own twist on it.” He did reveal that Lilith has powers that would make her natural to face off with Magnus. “She uses magic like the Warlocks so those two definitely play together and it’s really great.”

[…]

Jace (Dominic Sherwood), Izzy (Emeraude Toubia) and Alec (Matthew Daddario) talk to Catarina (Sophia Walker), who we’ll see more of this season. “She’s Magnus‘s close friend, and he can share problems with her that he can’t tell anyone else because she’s a Warlock,” Slavkin said. “Even though Alec is his partner and he’s got other friends, Catarina holds a special place in Magnus‘s heart, and vice versa.” And, yes, we will also see more of Madzie in the new season.

But, speaking of Magnus, he has some challenges in the new episodes. “Because he sided with the Seelie Queen,” Slavkin said, “there are political ramifications after the events of the finale that he’s gotta deal with.”

Harry Shum Jr.

As a 400-year-old warlock on the show based on a beloved YA series, Shum Jr. has encountered countless devoted fans. But he witnessed the ultimate — and most unlikely — example of fangirling during his time as a backup dancer for Beyoncé.

“I was at Madison Square Garden and we were doing ‘Crazy in Love,’ and I remember these two guys, they were in tank tops and just sat there and didn’t move the whole concert,” he recalls. “The moment you heard JAY-Z, he came up from the ground up, and literally they started screaming and waving their hands and jumping.” Moving into roles on Glee and the upcoming Crazy Rich Asians film adaptation, Shum Jr. says he misses those kinds of immediate responses. “When you make a movie and you do a TV show, you don’t really see the real reactions,” he says. “That was the coolest moment.”
 
 
 
During the first two seasons of the fantasy series, the cast would lighten the mood with on-set pranks. “But we avoid pranks nowadays because the fear of reprisal is so significant,” Daddario says. “Each of us is ready to go nuclear with the counter-prank. It’s like a nuclear stalemate.” The cast’s top offender? Sherwood. “Dom loves to scare Kat [McNamara]. And it’s really funny because she falls for it every single time,” Shum Jr. reveals. “Although Isaiah did get Dom once and literally scared him to death. It was hilarious and we caught it on tape.” Now to unwind, Sherwood says, “We go out on the weekends and spend time with each other, completely unrelated to the show.”

Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Jeong, Harry Shum Jr. and Awkwafina star in the Jon M. Chu comedy.
Crazy Rich Asians is hitting theaters in summer 2018.

Warner Bros. has announced that the comedy, directed by Jon M. Chu, will be released on Aug. 17, 2018. It will open opposite Focus’ sci-fi title Captive State with John Goodman and Vera Farmiga, STXfilms’ puppet comedy The Happytime Murders with Melissa McCarthy and Maya Rudolph, and Aviron’s crime thriller Three Seconds with Rosamund Pike, Joel Kinnaman and Clive Owen.

Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Jeong, Harry Shum Jr., Awkwafina, Jimmy O. Yang and Gemma Chan are part of the all-Asian ensemble cast of the movie. Adapted from Kevin Kwan’s hit novel, it centers on three wealthy Chinese families as they prepare for Singapore’s wedding of the year.

The story follows Rachel Chu (Wu), an American-born Chinese economics professor, who travels to her boyfriend Nick’s (Henry Golding) hometown of Singapore for his best friend’s wedding. Before long, his secret is out: Nick is from a family that is impossibly wealthy, he’s perhaps the most eligible bachelor in Asia, and every single woman in his ultra-rarefied social class is incredibly jealous of Rachel and wants to bring her down.

The cast and executive producers of Shadowhunters stopped by New York Comic Con for a panel on Saturday afternoon, and they brought a trailer for season 3 with them. The preview for the new season was followed immediately by news that even the cast and executive producers hadn’t heard before: Freeform has picked up the show for 10 additional season 3 episodes, set to air next summer.

During the panel — which brought together showrunners Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavin, executive producer and director Matt Hastings, and cast members Katherine McNamara, Isaiah Mustafa, Alisha Wainwright, and Matthew Daddario — McNamara teased that things are getting serious for Clary and Jace (Dominic Sherwood) in season 3 in the wake of Jace’s return from death. “They have this secret that they cannot tell,” McNamara said.

The cast and executive producers teased plenty of relationship development across the board this season. In Wainwright’s words, the story will explore what it’s like to “go home with these people.”

Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) and Alec (Daddario) are back together this season, but that doesn’t mean they’re in for an easy time. “What is happiness?” Daddario teased when asked how happy Alec is. And while he eventually admitted his character is “pretty happy,” he added that there’s an element of stress behind that happiness. “He’s just getting into the more complex aspects of his relationship with Magnus. I’m concerned for him.”

And what of Luke? Mustafa said of his season 3 prospects: “It’s a heck of a hangover.”

Season 3 of Shadowhunters premieres April 3, 2018, at 8 p.m. ET on Freeform.

Some shadowhunters, a werewolves and a few producers holding all the secrets of Freeform’s hit series Shadowhunters will descend upon the Big Apple next month.

2016 Sessions > Set #008 [+ 5]

Harry Shum Jr., who currently stars in the Freeform fantasy series Shadowhunters, is joining the Escape Plan franchise. The former Glee star is set to appear in Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films’ Escape Plan 3: Devil’s Station, along with Tyler Jon Olson and Sergio Rizzuto. Sylvester Stallone returning as the star with John Herzfeld is on board to direct from a script by Miles Chapman, who wrote the previously two pics.

In this installment, the daughter of a Hong Kong tech executive goes missing in what appears to be a routine ransom job. As Breslin (Stallone) and his crew delve deeper, they discover the culprit is the deranged son of one of their former foes, who also kidnapped Breslin’s love and is holding her inside the massive prison known as Devil’s Station. Shum Jr. will play Bao, who joins Breslin’s team on the rescue mission.

harryshumjr: Experiments

TVLINE | I really enjoyed Magus and Alec’s talk at the end of the episode. Is it safe to assume they’re officially back together?
SWIMMER | Oh, they’re back.
SLAVKIN | And better than ever! It’s a beautiful thing as we move forward into Season 3. We’re exploring the intimacy and domesticity and pushing that relationship farther along with added complications. It’s super interesting and fun to write.

The past two seasons of Shadowhunters have all started filming in late summer and have premiered in early January, and it looks like Shadowhunters Season 3 will do the same. The pre-production team and writing staff have already been hard at work, and the cast is currently making their way back to Toronto to start shooting.

We will likely get an official date during New York Comic-Con in October if the cast returns to the convention again, but for now it’s safe to say that Shadowhunters Season 3 will premiere in January 2018.

In that army are Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) and Luc (Isaiah Mustafa). What can you tease about how they play into the finale?
McNamara: Well, we’ve seen the unrest in the Downworld from the beginning of Season 2, and things are finally coming to fruition, but it’s forcing leaders like Luc and Magnus and Alec (Matthew Daddario) to make these difficult choices, where they truly have to choose between their heart and their duty to their people.

That’s when it becomes difficult because you have Luc and Magnus, who are downworlders and who have to think about their people, but also Luc is basically Clary’s dad and Simon’s dad and the person who looks out for all of these young folks. And then you have Magnus who is so in love with Alec and wants to be there to support him but can’t because he also has to support his people. It’s these sort of difficult choices that will shape the future of the Downworld.

History of the Site:
I (Lucy) have been a fan of Harry since I saw him on Glee for the first time, the first episode of Glee aired in my country on January 2011 so that’s when it all started. Sadly Harry never had as much screentime as I wanted him to have. Before I opened HarryShumJr.us I had a fan site about Glee but after season 6 ended I closed the site. I thought about opening a fan site about Harry for a while and I did have a Tumblr account for a while but at some point I had no time to run the blog so I deleted it again. In March 2016 I created a new Tumblr account (I don’t remember the exact date I opened it, the first post was posted on March 14, 2016) and in September 2016 I finally opened HarryShumJr.us. From time to time my friend Kate is helping with news, photos and more, check out her site chris-colfer.net. Sadly the site isn’t as popular as I was hoping but the gallery got quite a few of views … but I’m not doing it for the attention. I’m here because I love Harry ♥ and I want to support him and his career. Don’t forget to check our gallery, there are more than 30,000 photoswaiting for you!

mikeistheboss: Very proud of @heroofthestupid for wrapping his short film, ‘Mercy’. Josh and I go way back; he hired me to join him on behalf of @bad_robot to shoot the BTS of Mission Impossible Rogue Nation. We spent over half a year together traveling around the globe, chasing Tom Cruise with cameras. Naturally, when we asked me to shoot a short he’s been developing for awhile, the answer was an immediate yes! Josh brought together such a great crew and handled his set like a true boss. Bravo, Josh! (PS: I promise we weren’t shooting a porno, despite this picture)

‘ShadowHunters’ Kat McNamara, Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa & Harry Shum Jr talk to TV Guide Magazine’s Jim Halterman at SDCC 2017.

Shadowhunters’ stars Matthew & Harry talk to TV Guide Magazine about their TV obsessions and the rest of the season.

Episode 2019 – “Hail and Farewell” – August 7 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
After centuries of being lied to and treated poorly by The Clave, the Downworlders decide to come together and take matters into their own hands as the hunt for Valentine and Sebastian intensifies. But what starts off as a way to preserve their own, the Downworlders choice to break with the Shadowhunters, could quickly escalate to war.

Episode 2020 – “Beside Still Water” – August 14 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
Jace and Clary rush to make a final stand, but when a traitor is revealed, Jace and Clary may have a bigger fight on their hands than expected. Meanwhile, Alec and Izzy must fight off a large mass of demons that have unexpectedly shown up, as Luke and Simon head to the Seelie Court to deal with some unfinished business with the Seelie Queen.

We’d only just gotten an official “I love you” from Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) and Alec (Matthew Daddario) when our favorite Shadowhunters ship started to have some serious relationship issues.

While Magnus has battled his past trauma, Alec has been dealing with the responsibilities of being head of the Institute — as well as the consequences of those responsibilities. Those are some pretty huge stressors on a romantic relationship, and “Malec” finally reached the breaking point when Magnus found out that Alec lied to him about the Clave losing the Soul-Sword.

The fight we saw — and Magnus’ outburst afterwards — was hard to watch for sure, but according to Matthew Daddario, we might want to watch it again from a new perspective.

“What I saw was people recognizing their feelings are so intense, and they can’t just go by without really expressing those feelings with that intensity,” Daddario told TV Guide. “A lot of growth needs to happen very quickly. They’ve only known each other a short time.”

Harry Shum Jr. played down the squabble as well, saying that some couples fight it out one minute and go back to being sweet and cuddly the next.

Maybe not the most healthy dynamic, but we wouldn’t say no to some Malec sweetness.

We’ve got faith that these two can work it out, and that faith was buoyed by the shot of Malec shirtless in bed together in the promo for next week’s episode, “Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen.”

For a young actor in 2017, the good news is it’s never been easier to get a job. There are now a million options—as long as you’re cool with getting “famous” on go90. Or Crackle. Or Freeform. The list of platforms keeps growing, while the screens keep shrinking. Zach Baron reports on a generation of would-be stars navigating an era of glorious upheaval—when that next phone call might be from Netflix. (But it’s probably from Seeso.)

7. When Hollywood Won’t Cast You, Find Someone Else Who Will
Harry Shum Jr. can still remember what it felt like to be on Glee in that uncanny moment when 26 million people tuned in after the Super Bowl. That surreal sense of being at the center of a phenomenon: “Literally all eyes were on us constantly.” He’s perched on a stool in a coffee shop in Hollywood wearing a Henley, a mildly whimsical hat, and a pervasively radiant sense of health.

The height of Glee mania was 2011. That same year, he shot a few short films for some guys who were making clips for YouTube. Wong Fu Productions—three Asian-American guys just playing around with the format. “We shot like three random shorts,” Harry says, “and those did really well, and then we shot another one that got like 10 million hits, and then it was like, “Oh, there’s something here.” And then they sold a show to YouTube Red.” Single by 30, which became an eight-episode romantic comedy set in L.A., came out last year and the first episode has more than 2 million views on YouTube. You might not have heard of the show. But that’s kind of the point of streamers like YouTube Red: They go deep for relatively narrow but passionate audiences, rather than broad, for everyone.

One thing working on the Wong Fu stuff taught Harry, he says, is that the new generation of viewers Hollywood is trying to reach often doesn’t care about Hollywood at all: “These people, they don’t watch TV or movies. They literally just watch whatever is in front of their computers or on their phones.” Even at the height of Glee, he says, “I would walk down the street, and they’d be like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re in Wong Fu shorts!’ That’s all they know me from. And they go nuts over that. Sometimes walking around with a lot of YouTube personalities that I hang out with, fans are going nuts over them and have no clue who Leonardo DiCaprio is.”

Harry sips his Vietnamese iced coffee. These days he’s got a regular role on a show on Freeform called Shadowhunters. He plays a warlock. Last year he did a Crouching Tiger sequel for Netflix. But what he’s most excited about right now is his role in a studio film just now going into production, Crazy Rich Asians. Warner Bros., one of the oldest studios in Hollywood, is making it with an all-Asian cast, which has more or less no precedent. “It’s one of those that wouldn’t have been able to get made a couple years ago,” Harry says.

All these alternative channels and platforms, he’s noticed, have uncovered audiences that producers and studios used to ignore or were never even aware of. Which in turn has been great for actors who might actually look like those audiences. “There’s so many projects now,” Harry says. “Being a minority—all my friends used to struggle so much for the longest time and only get certain roles, and I’m starting to see them get all these different roles and main-character roles on platforms that you might have not heard of—but they’re, like, working with huge names, right? Producers, huge-name directors. I think that’s incredible.”

All the Malec Feels: With Magnus (Harry Shum Jr) finally breaking down and telling Alec (Matthew Daddario) about this horrible memory he’s been dealing with, what’s next for the couple? “Getting to write these emotive, beautiful, sensitive moments where we’re getting character work and we’re understanding characters histories is really the juice for us,” Swimmer said. “Amazing stuff lies ahead with Malec. This is just, kind of, the beginning in terms of the depth that we’re trying to explore. And that’s not to say that there’s not joy ahead. That there’s not smiles and there’s not lots of beautiful, upbeat moments, but in order to get there, we explore the depth, and it’s pretty cool.”

But is the memory of his mother all in the past now? “Magnus’ past is much deeper than just this little tidbit, and it will be a continual [reveal]. He hasn’t come out and had a [moment] where he’s just told Alec everything, [but] it’s happening,” Slavkin said. “He’s parceling it out, and there’s definitely more stuff and things that he wants to keep hidden from Alec. But this particular story is closed-ended, in terms of the mother committing suicide and then his stepfather coming in and burning the stepfather. There’s not more to that particular story.”

Shadowhunters and Stitchers fans have another reason to be excited this summer! Cast members from both shows have revealed via social media that they will be attending San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Based on standard scheduling for other shows attending the convention, we think it’s safe to assume that each series will hold a panel in addition to an autograph session with fans.

This year, San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 19-23, which means that the Stitchers panel will take place in between Episodes 6 and 7 and the Shadowhunters panel will take place between episodes 16 and 17. Comic-Con is also the weekend after the D23 Expo, where some cast members from both shows will also be available for autographs.

Stitchers fans found out from Damon Dayoub during a Facebook live chat last week that the cast would be in attendance, and though some fans had already speculated that Shadowhunters would join them at the convention, it was confirmed by Kat McNamara during a live Instagram chat on July 3 that she would be going to SDCC as well.

So which day will Freeform be hosting panels and autographs? Looking at what’s been released so far about scheduling across the convention center, our money’s on Thursday (but we’ll have to wait for the official conformation to be sure). Even though this is the first time either show will make an appearance at SDCC, both shows have attended New York Comic Con, which takes place in early October.

So far we don’t know if Harry will be going to SDCC!

UPDATE:

In the summer season of Shadowhunters, the rift between the Shadowhunters and Downworlders grows larger and the team and their Downworlder friends and lovers are put in the middle of the dangerous divide. Torn between the Clave’s rules and what they feel is right, Clary, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle struggle to help forge a new beginning. Relationships will be tested, a new Shadowhunter named Sebastian has joined the fray, and the Seelie Queen will step out of the shadows. Moderated by IGN.com’s Matt Fowler, panelists include executive producers Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, and Matt Hastings, with series stars Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Emeraude Toubia, Matthew Daddario, Isaiah Mustafa, and Harry Shum Jr.. Freeform will show an exclusive clip from an upcoming episode and give new information on season 3.

Episode 2015 – “A Problem of Memory” – July 10 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
Simon looks for a distraction with an evening out with some of his new vampire friends. What started out as a night to let loose quickly turns much darker when Simon wakes up the next morning with no memory of the night before and a dead body he now has to answer for. Meanwhile, Alec orders Valentine to be transferred to Idris to help repair relations with the Downworlders.

Episode 2016 – “Day of Atonement” – July 17 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
With everything that Simon has gone through this past year, a family dinner for Yom Kippur – the Jewish Day of Atonement – poses as a real challenge. How can he come clean about being a vampire and especially about what just happened to his family? And if he is stressed out, what if he can’t control his vampire urges? Looking to take care of this himself, Maia insists on helping him out whether he likes it or not. Meanwhile, Clary and Jace go on an unsanctioned mission and test out their newfound rune powers.

Episode 2017 – “A Dark Reflection” – July 24 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
With two of the three Mortal Instruments missing, everyone is on the hunt for the last one – The Mortal Mirror. Jace and Clary are on the hunt to recover it first before it could fall into enemy hands. But along the way, Clary realizes that her brother Jonathan may be closer than she thought. Meanwhile, Isabelle has a hard time accepting the fact that her little brother Max is growing up, and Maia struggles to bring her guard down with Simon.

Episode 2018 – “Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen” – July 31 (8:00 – 9:01 p.m. EDT)
After a devastating attack at The Institute, everyone is on high alert as the Shadowhunters close in on their hunt for Jonathan. Meanwhile, Simon and Maia help a new downworlder as the Seelie Queen demands an answer from Magnus and Luke.

Synopsis

Simon goes down a dark path while Alec and team prepares to transport Valentine.

Synopsis

Alec has big plans to mend fences with the Downworlders, while Jace and Clary are summoned by the Seelie Queen.

Of course, the real drama of this week’s episode came from Magnus and Valentine’s adventures in body swapping. Though their souls were eventually returned to the correct meat bags, the experience left its mark — so to speak — on Magnus, who relived horrific childhood memories while being tortured with the agony rune.

“He has a rally troubled history, so building upon that is really important,” Harry Shum Jr. tells TVLine of Magnus’ background, which will continue to be explored this season. “It’s not something he wanted to revisit. And it will definitely affect his storyline with Alec, hopefully bringing them closer together and giving them a deeper understanding of one another. Alec is going to become much more sympathetic to life as a Downworlder.”

And if you picked up on a little tension between Alec and Magnus in their final scene together, don’t worry, you’re not totally insane.

“When you revisit a difficult childhood memory or a traumatizing experience, you sometimes end up redirecting your feelings about it,” Shum Jr. explains. “You can’t always say ‘This is what I went through’ and move on. The frustration lies in when other people don’t understand why you’re acting a certain way.”

As for Sebastian — who helped Clary tap into her true power this week, before being turned down for a date with her — don’t expect to see Magnus warming up to him any time soon.

“Magnus doesn’t trust any Shadowhunter,” Shum Jr. reminds us, save for his brooding boyfriend. “So I would say a big fat no right now. That might change over tim. We’ll see.”

[Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead unless you have watched “You Are Not Your Own,” the June 12 episode of Shadowhunters. Major plot points are discussed in the interview below.]

Magnus Bane is not himself in this week’s episode of Shadowhunters. No, he’s really not himself. In fact, he’s Valentine Morgenstern, or at least in the bad guy’s body after an unfortunate run-in with a greater demon in the previous episode.

That’s right: Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) is now trapped in Valentine’s (Alan Van Sprang) body, which means he’s the one currently imprisoned by The Clave in the Institute, not Valentine. While poor Magnus is being tortured in tonight’s gripping episode (“You Are Not Your Own”), Valentine learns that being a “filthy” warlock isn’t so bad, especially when there’s magic involved. But first he has to learn what to do with those hands.

“There’s a certain grace to Magnus, but with Valentine, every movement is calculated,” Shum Jr. told MTV News ahead of the episode. “And there’s a real frustration in Valentine not having full control for the first time.”

“As an actor, you get this challenge to play someone outside of who you’ve been playing for the past two seasons, and it’s a real treat, especially someone like Valentine,” he added. “He’s such a complicated character. It wasn’t really about mimicking him — it was also about what he would act like if he was not trying to let anyone know he was this person in someone else’s body.”

The harrowing experience is going to leave the immortal High Warlock of Brooklyn with lingering trauma, as he’ll be forced to confront painful memories from his past — some not voluntarily. He’ll also be confronted with a choice to “completely turn his back” on The Clave.

“The body-swap alone is very invasive. It’s a violation of someone’s body,” Shum Jr. said. “It’s interesting and fun to watch, but when you think about it, if someone went into your body and you don’t know what they did during that time, it can cause lasting damage to someone. It can also bring out things from the past, things that they’ve suppressed for a long time for good reasons.”

Obviously, this means Magnus will lean on Alec (Matthew Daddario) for support, but with Shadowhunters dropping like flies, and a group of Downworlders who want justice following Valentine’s massacre at the Institute, Alec is not be as emotionally available as Magnus needs right now. But the long-awaited arrival of Sebastian Verlac (Will Tudor), a Shadowhunter from the London Institute, might just put everyone on edge.

“Magnus is just starting to trust Shadowhunters, but he still doesn’t really trust any of them,” he said. “So bringing someone new, especially from London, given his past, he’s very cautious. The question is whether he wants to even get involved. His loyalty ultimately lies with his people and the Downworlders.”

At the torture he endures at the hand of The Clave in this episode, we really can’t blame him.

Thanks to a greater demon named Azazel, Valentine has escaped the Institute and is walking around inside the body of Magnus Bane on “Shadowhunters.”

Harry Shum Jr. didn’t have a long lead time before jumping into the new role of Valentine-inside-Magnus, but he enjoyed taking on the twist.

“I think I knew about it in the first episode, when we started shooting,” Harry told AccessHollywood.com. “So, maybe like two weeks before or a week-and-a-half before we started the second [episode].

“It was fun to kind like of sink our teeth into it and it was great that we got to sit down and really like talk about it — kind of what direction we wanted to go,” he added.

Harry said he met with Alan Van Sprang, who plays Valentine, and the episode’s director, Bille Woodruff, before shooting the new episode.

“We sat down for lunch and just kind of discussed how we wanted to play it because when you hear that, you’re like, ‘Oh, OK, you just switch bodies,’ but [there are] these more intricate and really kind of interesting layers on top of it and both of us are playing it very different because our motivation is completely different,” Harry told Access. “Valentine-in-Magnus’ body is trying to figure out how Magnus acts and functions and also, convincing people that he is Magnus while Magnus-in-Valentine’s body is trying to convince [people] that he’s Magnus. So, it’s this weird kind of double take where we didn’t want to play into kind of the idea of like, ‘I’m just doing an impersonation of you.’ It’s all these little things that we had to kind of sprinkle on to that and it was really important to us to really have that play into the episode.”

Harry watched tapes of Alan as he prepared to do his portrayal of Valentine-in-Magnus.

“I think [with] Valentine, there’s little points where you’ve seen him kind of get really frustrated, but he has this calmness, where he’s very calculating. He knows what he’s going to do next. He’s always two steps ahead and I wanted to give a little bit of that,” Harry said.

“But also, this is something that he’s never dealt with. This is beyond frustration. This is like, I’m trapped in the body of something I like, hate, and I’m trying to destroy. How do I react to this?” Harry said of how Valentine, a shadowhunter, feels being in the body of a warlock. “So that is what I wanted to really pull from … with Alan and getting those tapes, and at the end of the day, putting my interpretation on top of that.”

Harry Shum Jr. talks with Hypable about Valentine’s stint as Magnus Bane in Shadowhunters season 2, episode 12.

How do you play a man trapped in body he absolutely despises?

Shadowhunters offers viewers a chance to see Valentine inside of Magnus Bane’s body. “Filthy” is a term Valentine has often used when referring to any Downworlder. Now that he is stuck performing Azazel’s bidding as a warlock, Valentine must find a way to navigate the relationships this particular warlock spent centuries developing.

That includes his most recent one with Alec. While the roles certainly call for a bit of miming, the process of letting another character play in the sandbox you constructed, is no easy task.

Harry Shum Jr. talks to Hypable about Valentine’s stroll in Magnus’ body, what lies ahead for Magnus and Alec, and a piece of fan art that he wants to see play out!

Valentine and Magnus have limited screen time together. What was the preparation process like for the role reversal?

Harry Shum Jr.: We had access to each other, but we didn’t want to do that. Tapes were what were provided for us to be able to look at how they talk to people. But it wasn’t about spending time with each other and trying to mimic each other.

It was about making sure that we captured the essence of each other’s characters. From there, within the scenes that we had to play with, we wanted to deliver them in a way where it was very situational. It was very specific. It wasn’t, “Well, I’m going to play Valentine and then I’m going to put that on top of all the scenes.” It was specific.

For instance, Magnus in Valentine’s body talking the Azazel is very different than how he is going to attempt to talk to Alec or talk to other characters who are going to come in. Also, he’s observing how the characters are reacting. It’s Valentine in Magnus’ body, trying to figure out Magnus – who he actually is – to convince [the people he is interacting with] enough to move on to the next level.

He doesn’t really know Magnus that well, either. As you layer that on top a bit, there is a little bit of humor about it. But as an audience member I hope that they’re watching and they know that it’s him, but also anticipate what is he going to do next.

One of the best moments, for me personally, was watching when Jace comes to Magnus’ apartment and you have that recognition – it felt so much like Valentine seeing Jace coming to him. It was truly fantastic.

Oh, that’s great to hear.

Magnus has just been horrifically tortured. Give us a sense of where Magnus is at the end of this episode.

What that [torture] does to someone’s psyche — especially coming from someone like Magnus who as dealt with instability in a mental capacity — it’s a mixture of emotions. And [in the past] he’s dealt with issues of questioning whether to even stay on this planet. I think for him it brings up a lot of this history and trauma that he’s been trying to stay away from.

Then there’s the trauma of being tortured. That alone is something that is already hard to get over. But the fact that it’s bringing up something that has affected him in this mental state is something that is going to take a while to get over. And it will really affect his relationships with people — especially Alec.

The stories from Magnus’ past are endless. So much so, Cassandra Clare enlisted other writers to craft some of them in the The Bane Chronicles. If you could explore any part of Magnus’ past, whether you created it, or you’re pulling it out of the books — what would it be?

I just saw something that was really interesting. It was a piece of fan art that came out that – first of all some of these [fans] are incredible, incredible artists. The things they conjure up whether it’s from their minds or the books or from the show, wow – B there was one thing that would be so fun. It was a picture of him in the 80s with Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson.

It’s his days exploring how he got into high society, how he was friends with these celebrities and influential people. That’s a fun part to explore outside of the world ending and defeating the evil doers — The fun he had. He had an interesting life and outlook, and he had to hide that he was a warlock. He’s an eccentric and unique being that fits in with all these artists that are eccentric themselves. I think that’s a really fun thing to explore and to navigate through that would be a really, really fun thing.

I can’t talk to anyone from the Shadowhunters cast without talking about the fans – what is the feeling of carrying this relationship of Alec and Magnus through to these fans. Especially, as the love for them grows.

The responsibility that I feel and making sure it’s as truthful as possible. We always want to make sure that we’re not falling into cushions. We want to service them as strong characters who are figuring things out. Whether it’s a first time — not even just the first time of having a relationship, not just for Alec — but being with someone who is the polar opposite. Also, [they exist] in a complicated world on both sides. That’s to me the unique part.

But then treating them also like any normal relationship and figuring out how they are going to get through this together. How they are going to deal with certain things that arise that they disagree with? And hopefully they’ll overcome that. That to me is what we always strive for with what the writers come up with. I feel like that’s our job. And the writers have been bringing some really interesting situations for the two characters to play out and that’s great.
