SHADOWHUNTERS TV SHOW: Clary Casting!!

[@forgotmyun]

Call me the odd man out, but I really prefer Kat over Lily as Clary. Kat's acting may not be perfect, but she really does portray Clary with the right insecurities and awkwardness. I think anyone out in her situation would be acting the same way, lost, confused etc etc. Lily on the other hand, even when she acts, she just oozes confidence, and even portraying someone like Clary, she tries to act vulnerable, but it just doesn't come across. Especially with her and Jemima, she seemed more HBIC than Jem. Though I love Lily, Kat is more Clary to me.

[@hazylixie9546]

SAME!!! I thought I'd be the only one who's like I prefer Kat... And ur absolutely right I watched the movies so many times and though Lily is awesome she still has this whole air of confidence to her but Kat's like 'eh, I'm aight' and has this whole thing going on that makes her think she's not as good as Izzy and Alec and Jace. But to be fair, they've been training since they could run. So I really do prefer Kat as Clary, though Lily does make a pretty good Clary

[@LectorDelFinDelMundo]

I love Kat as Clary, but does anyone else think that Sasha would be an awesome Clary?

[@BookwormDuo]

Me, haha

[@silverkyre]

I was thinking that too! She would be excellent Clary, she fits my mental vision pretty well!

[@BrittBdairy]

I was thinking the same thing

[@LectorDelFinDelMundo]

Amelle Kyre Yeah! Mine too! :D

[@veronicatecer3094]

El Lector del Fin del Mundo Definitely. She even resembles Lily Collins but she's the right age.

[@maciejayne9231]

I don't know how Sasha does it but she's managed to look like both of the Clary castings. It's magical.

[@NicoleCraswellBooks]

Yeah on the subject of Kat's hair, she's naturally a redhead and both Cassie and McG confirmed on twitter that she'll go back to red for the show.

[@abookutopia]

Yay!!

[@tiffanyrosejenks3963]

abookutopia They just casted Alec and Luke. Kind of disappointed with Luke.

[@NicoleCraswellBooks]

I actually really love the guy they casted as Luke, he's the perfect balance of hot and looking like he can do the whole warm paternal figure thing.

[@Emily-wb6td]

Tiffany Jenks I am too dude, more so with the fact that he's an NYPD detective, because that just doesn't fit Luke's personality. I get that it'll bring a lot more to the show and open new doors, but I'm a stickler for detail

[@NicoleCraswellBooks]

It seems weird that he's a detective, I mean like yeah I guess it makes sense with the pack's hideout but the bookstore is so important to his personality!

[@alejandravalencia1621]

I think she's cute and beautiful but strangely I see her more like a vampire than a shadowhunter (i know, that's weird) But I'm excited to see her in the tv show, I cannot wait fjkdfnbjdfbvdoif

[@stanisawgrabowski6256]

It's not weir at all. i mena, she looks kinda... Cold? Like, extremely beautiful but in a sculpture- type. Or at least I think so.

[@stanisawgrabowski6256]

*weird

[@stanisawgrabowski6256]

*mean Yay, stupid keyboard!

[@ayeitsraith4538]

she does look like a night child but she has freckles, and sun causes freckles, and u know vamps cant u know be in sun light

[@cathyprice9285]

Hahaha!!!!! That is hilarious because I am also getting my hair redyed red today!

[@abookutopia]

Twinning!

[@cathyprice9285]

All for the sake of shadowhunting.

[@willekeslinkman712]

Just for the People that wanted to know the cast they have until now is: Jace- Dominic Sherwood Clary- Katherine McNamara Izzy- Emeraude Toubia Alec-Matthew Daddario Luke- Isaiah Mustafa (please don't have any hate against him, okay maybe most of us didn't imagine luke to have a dark skin tone, but he probably will do an amazing job on playing luke) Simon-Alberto Rosende And its 100% sure that Magnus will be Asian cause they only do/did asian auditions for Magnus

[@mochievious1552]

And we now know that Harry is Magnus...

[@Moe5240]

I am so happy with the cast! Isabelle isn't what I would imagine, but it will grow on me. AND THE GUY PLAYING SIMON IS SO GEEKY AND IS SO CUTE AND IT WORKS SO AMAZING

[@obeybayy95]

I cannot express the joy I felt when I found this channel. Seriously

[@booknerdcanada]

I love that they're filming here in Toronto again :) Clary's casting is on point! And so is the rest of the cast!

[@AmazingGrace-ob7hn]

I hate change, and I get Lily Collins is more of the "movie scene" girl, but I really would love her as Clary forever and always, especially when I imagined her as lily Collins while reading the books. But looking at your red hair and characteristics, I thought that you'd make a perfect clary.

[@saybbabe2184]

+AmazingGrace91901 same here

[@albergauvry218]

I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet Magnus and Alec and everyone else, so far I'm really happy with the cast!

[@markiewinters6750]

Your hair is gorgeous sasha! x also I think you look even more like lily Collins with that hair colour.

[@koriholderness9968]

I was just going through youtube looking at shadowhunters videos on the cast and your video came up! I love your attitude in this video!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

OHMYGOSH YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING

[@tybetnew6633]

I also only know Dom from Vampire Academy (I LOVE that series) and I totally agree she is better with red hair. P.S. I love ur hair!!❤❤

[@izzyseoane108]

OMG im so excited for the show!!!!!! I think the casting is on point!!!!!!

[@ShannonLeighMusic]

Sasha, your hair looks gorgeous!!! & I'm so excited!!

[@maevacatalano180]

you absolutely rock your red hair!!!

[@kzadelaide5350]

Omg I always love your hair color but this red looks even more amazing on you

[@LenaWolschaap]

The reason why I even clicked this video is because you look sooo much like how I imagined Clary to look like when I read the book. Seriously, it's like you're her!

[@gabrielaribeiro1836]

Your hair is flawless, reminds me so much of Clary ❤️

[@annabelleschleser1392]

So far I really really like the cast and my Twitter feed is still booming because of the cast things which makes me so happy 😊

[@ttaebunn]

I love the cast so much! It is sososososososo good I'm really happy with them :)

[@lady_moonique7316]

I am so excited for this show. I havev't read any book but I am freaking excited!

[@CatInTheNet]

You also look SO MUCH like the Clary I imagined ! Omg ! :D So excited for Shadowhunters! Is so cool to follow their casting and set lifee!! :D Loveeee your channel!

[@heatherfeather8124]

I love Kat as Clary! Even if Lily Collins is my favorite actress! Kat is just a perfect Clary!

[@isabellamills8992]

I'm so excited for the new cast!

[@bexborahae1337]

I think they are perfect for the characters I'm getting so excited now

[@heyhey7781]

Magnus has to be perfect! I've been anticipating his casting the most!

[@notjustalyssa]

I've actually been a fan of Kat since I saw her in New Year's Eve in 2011 and I was so excited when I found out she was casted as Clary!

[@ChamaSass]

You can watch Kat in happyland. Btw she is a natural redhead and has already dyed her hair back to its natural color.

[@chelseaventure7714]

I swear if Alec and Magnus don't show a good chemistry on the show, I'll.... ... cry into my pillows for eternity. But seriously, Magnus's actor better be fabulous and glittery!

[@LovefromIsabel]

You're making a really good point about ABC family being the producers. Cassie did SUCH a good job creating a beautifully intertwined plot with so many little subplots and nuances that any changes would likely make so many things fall apart. But in general I do like the casting - at first, I wasn't sure about Kat b/c she didn't look like Clary to me but once I saw her with red hair I was like giiiiirl I'm super excited bc she looks really good as a redhead :) Dom is great even though I haven't watched his previous works. Someone did an edit and posted it in IG and mhm I approve, though I think they'll dye his hair blonde (if they don't that's nearly as bad as not making Clary a redhead lol). LOVE LOVE LOVE Simon's casting - he's so dorky and nerdy and perfect for the role. Not totally in love with Isabelle's casting but I mean I'll hold off on judgement until I see the show obviously. I just hope she pairs well with Alec in terms of looking like siblings. And yea, I totally understand being attached to the old cast bc I love them too, but obviously they have other projects now and some of the cast are a lot older (Kevin Zeger is having kids now?!) so having a younger cast fits in better with the series :) I can't wait for the show omg this is so exciting gahhhhh

[@Indystylesdances]

Your hair is so beautiful!

[@gymdancer44]

Everyone wanted to keep Robert Sheehan lol.

[@TheIsPurple]

Live Love Dance Robbie can do no wrong tbh

[@hoghog6245]

hes ugly tho tbh

[@TheIsPurple]

He's very beautiful but it's fine if you don't find him attractive. Personal preference. :)

[@yasminetbh]

Please do the Sizzy casting video :)

[@sarahcox334]

Can't wait for season 2! YAH!

[@kleinkelsch7]

You're awesome🙈 I love your hair😍 I kind of like the cast for the TV show more than the movie cast 😁

[@sarahb891]

I love ALL the castings so far!!!!!!!!! 😆😊😍❤️

[@CooleenBooks]

Couldn't help but stare at your copy of A Court Of Thorns And Roses 😱 ahhh it looks sooo gorgeous 😍

[@purple_choco]

Your hair looks lovely :)) I am really excited about the tv show and I hope they do the justice to the characters and represent them as they are.

[@samshortygirl]

I definitely love the cast, they all look very good, I'm just hopping they don't mess with the writing. Also, I can't wait to know who are going to portray Alec and Magnus (my favorite character). Nice video Sasha.

[@judiellibot404]

I KNEW YOUR HAIR LOOKS A LITTLE MORE RED IN THIS VIDEO! I thought it was the lighting at fist but I KNEW IT!! Oh! and please do a Sizzy casting video!!

[@mariesalvatore8866]

I always say to myself: Wait till you see them act, then judge them!

[@zallaniacarter8821]

Oh my God, this is the first video of yours I've watched and you are literally me! Totally gonna be binge watching your channel now!

[@laurlovesbooks]

Omgggg IM SO EXCITED SHES GONNA HAVE RED HAIR OMG. This so amazing this show will be so good this is like a dream come true the cast looks so much better than the movie's cast. And omg you look so gorgeous with that hair color you remind me even mote of clary now lol.

[@laurlovesbooks]

More**

[@jennawirtz9620]

Omg clary hair! Totally suits you!!

[@anjabirch2525]

You look gorgeous with that hair 😍✨🌿

[@cinnatsundere]

i have to admit when i first saw her with blonde hair i thought they did a bad choice casting her but seeing all the pictures with her natural red hair i feel like she will make a wonderful clary, she fits soo well :)

[@katelynherold9066]

I love them all so far, I did love Robert as Simon like a lot, but I like the new cast as well, also I love your hair!!!

[@deliaiannalfo5160]

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST HAIR COLOUR ON YOU OH MY LORD

[@van.g.9047]

Can't wait ,! I think Kat will make an awesome clary!!!

[@Abouttoread]

Love the red hair! Didn't know it was coming out in January!!! I need to hurry and finish up.

[@Syaryde]

I love her in Happy Land and The Maze Runner: Scorch Trails!!!!

[@gloriagonzalezlopez4708]

I really like the cast! I cant wait to now who is magnus and alec !!

[@carolineASMR]

Eeeee im excited for this show! P.s. Your hair is gorgeous!

[@elisethierbach2784]

Sasha you would have played a perfect Clary!!!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I'm so happy with the cast and it looks like Kat will do a great job :)

[@madisynjade13]

Girl you ARE Clary. Reading these books make me want to dye my hair red. 🥲

[@tamarapolakova2621]

I like this new Clary. And I also love your hair! I watch Pretty little liars and the tv show is very different than books

[@kristynabergerova8831]

Ok, so the TV show makers should definitely listen to Sasha because duh? She's absolutely right about the books and the fandom and all Shadow world related stuff!!! 100% agreeing with you, Sasha!!

[@Tara-ny8ug]

YOUR BOOKSHELF IS LIFE GOAL

[@laurenallison9550]

HAIR GOALS💕🔥😍 I wish you would play her, you look more like I imagined her😂😘 but I like the girl they casted too!😊

[@erinv2379]

Love your hair Sasha! I'm a little behind on the fandom (still have 2 more books to go and haven't watched the movie yet) but I'm getting so pumped for the show!!! The Clary and Jace castings seem pretty accurate too ;)

[@jazmineharris-urlich3616]

I love love love the cast!!!

[@sarahshipley3294]

The casting is great! I'm really, really happy about Izzy and Simon, their actors are exactly how i imagined them (and yay! diversity!) Dom Sherwood looks good as Jace. Not as I imagined him at first, but I think and hope he will do us (the fandom) proud. Kat McNamara was a bit of a surprise because the whole fandom at the beginning was like "its going to be Molly Quinn! Molly Quinn" and she was how I pictured Clary. But I think Kat will still be great. This show is going to be great and it makes me so happy that our fandom is lucky enough to kinda get a redo and get a second chance of showing the world how great Cassandra Clare's story really is. On a sidenote, does anyone know is Cassie Clare will be an "exective producer" or like there to give advice about the story for the show? I really hope she is there to help keep the story honest and good!

[@AlwaysForeverFangirling21]

I love the casting thus far.I am so excited see who is playing Magnus and Alec .

[@jessicaalvarez1497]

I AM DYING TO KNOW WHO WILL BE MY TWO FAVORITE CHARACTERS EVER ALEC AND MAGNUS MALEC!!!!

[@reaganp6830]

The malec casting in my opinion was not as good

[@JordanTruesdellYo]

+Always&ForeverFangirling magnus is played by the same person

[@JordanTruesdellYo]

***** okay thx

[@sweetmusicwoman984]

I cant wait for the show!!

[@janineyap4218]

When you said "Hashtag who is Alec? Hashtag who is Magnus?" I was exactly thinking the same thing and hopefully they would have that chemistry too. I also commented about this on polandbananasBOOKS. Soooo freakin' excited!

[@TheLoveSings]

I love the cast! ♥

[@pottercrazy64]

Love your hair!

[@abbeyf823]

I'm really excited about this whole T.V show. I think they've done a really good job casting the characters and I completely agree that the fandom needs to stop complaining, we haven't seen them portray the characters yet so we can't judge them. I think the fandom is just really judgmental at the moment since we did get a movie but everyone just needs to be more understanding. P.S I love your hair

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

I'm very pleased with the casting so far, can't wait to see them in action! :D I really really really want to know who is going to portray Magnus though...

[@erendiralucas1678]

The girl playing Isabelle (Emeraude Toubia) was actually in a telenovela or Spanish sop opera as some refer it to. I love the the telenovela and love the character she had portrayed (she was a good actress). When i saw her I knew she was from somewhere and then looked her up and found out she had played one of my favorite characters in one my favorite novellas. Small world isn't it

[@lauraschlichting510]

I am in love with your hair colour! X

[@thebookarcher]

Your hair looks amazing 😍

[@Auroracle]

I'm kinda upset because I still haven't read the Mortal Instruments series. I only saw the movie. 😔

[@MsMarch7]

THERES STILL TIME! I see that ur lucky actually. U get to experience the characters and then get a real live look at them right after u finish the series?! I mean c'mon! BUT !!!!! Read The Clockwork Angel series first!

[@Auroracle]

*****​ I kind of wish we could jump into the books and live in their world. That would be awesome. So much better than reality. And I go to the library but I don't want to check them out. I wanted to wait until I got paid to buy the whole series so I can add them to my bookshelf.

[@rose-bh6zy]

Same here😢

[@ellel.4579]

Reem Alomari NO DON'T READ THE INFERNAL DEVICES FIRST! I mean, you can... but you only really need to before you read the last book. My friend read the entire TMI series first and she still had no idea what the situation was going to be.

[@jordanblackburn6638]

Defiantly read them!! But read the TMI books 1-5 then the devices trilogy and then do CoHF

[@jadehuang2393]

Ughh I wanna know who is Alec, Magnus, and Valentine!! I totally love the cast so far, by looks it is amazing! Let's hope they can act! :) Ily Sasha!

[@holazoila9442]

OMG I FRIKIN LOVE KATHERINE AND SHES GOING TO BE IN THE SCORCH TRIALS ASKSKDLAKDKAL😍😍

[@lillieslibraryy]

I love your hair! It suits you so much! Also I love you videos

[@BeautifulLeyla]

I actually watched the city of bones movie like 3 weeks ago, and I LOVED it. A lot of people told me it was bad and not good at all but I liked it so much that I ordered the first book and I'm like halfway through it now and I can NOT wait to continue it after my testweek like ughhhh I'm so excited and I just love it sooo much! I got super excited when I came across your video here and well, let me tell you that after my testweek i'm just going to binge watch all your videos... loved this one and your super pretty (: btw, so jealous of your shelves!!

[@jtquadcities]

Yea Kat is actually a natural red head so it PERFECT! :D

[@celiajill8339]

Your red hair looks good Sasha💕

[@chloekurlander6356]

I was very against it at first because the show is going to VERY different from the books, but after watching cast interviews they said they're using the book like a skeleton so the characters are exactly on point (outside and inside) so I'm really excited. Watch the cast interviews and you will have a huge change of heart

[@thatonegirlmikaela2141]

IM SO EXCITED OMG

[@roseberry14]

Honestly I think the casting for the TV show is much better that the movie cast in my opinion. Also a fun little fact is Kat's a natural redhead.

[@fizz.b4056]

NAILED THE RHYME!!!!!!

[@asharlow6823]

They just cast the actors for Luke and Alec. I can't wait for the video about them!

[@jillian7454]

The reason they changed PLL from books to TV show, is because everyone already knew who A was and who ended up with who. The show is actually better then the books (this coming from someone who watched the show then read the books)... But, Cassandra actually announced that the show and the books are very similar. Of course, they have to change a few things so that its not predictable but... So far, it seems really cool. Love your videos by the way :)

[@julietamlopez]

Love the red hair

[@hilltopper2017]

Great video, Sasha! Just thought I'd let you know -- Kat's last name is actually pronounced Mac-nuh-MARE-uh :)

[@HockeyMakeup]

I'm actually kind of excited for this TV series. I got into the series from the movie, yes I'm part of the .001% that LOVED the movie and the direction that series was going to take. I'm not a fan of the books which I'm sure TMI fans think is weird but hey it's my opinion. It's weird seeing other people be the characters but look wise (since I've never seen them act) they look like a good fit. I'm curious about Magnus cause let's be honest, Godfrey was freakin on point, so that'll be interesting to see who will portray him once they get to that point.

[@mariahd4096]

I'm so excited! I actually haven't seen any of them in movies or anything, but I hear they are great actors! As far as trolling goes, all the people I'm following on social media are very welcoming but if there are trolls out there that's just not cool man

[@cellogurl5755]

I was totally freaking out when all this happened and let's just say I was jumping around school the next day :p

[@katiem7181]

Love the hair!

[@ACH9523]

Holy crap your hair looks beautiful! :D x

[@itskimforkim-yi]

You should be it sasha! Omg Katherine is also Sonya in the scorch trials!!!

[@cindyhardy3396]

Is anybody curious about who they will cast to be Sebastian? Bc I am! I want to know who will be Sebastian!!

[@salmonsvetlana1323]

+cindy hardy if the show even gets that far

[@saybbabe2184]

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS!!

[@FebrinaAdiputra]

is it weird that i'm 31 already but i am crazy about Jace and the Shadowhunter world and I really enjoy your videos? lol. Hi from Indonesia
