Sarah Hyland's Swamp Queen Halloween Costume Won Her The Role of Seelie Queen on 'Shadowhunters'

It didn’t take the Shadowhunters showrunners a long time to find their Seelie Queen for the upcoming episodes — in fact, all it took was Sarah Hyland visiting boyfriend Dominic Sherwood on set.

Showrunner Matt Hastings dished to TVGuide that the moment he saw a photo of her Halloween costume last year, she was the Seelie Queen.

“I immediately sent it to [Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer], and I was like, ‘We found the Seelie Queen! She’s here on our set!’” he shared.

Matt added, “It’s really nice to see Sarah delve so deep into a character for the first time in almost 10 years because she’s been on [Modern Family] for such a long time. It’s been the same character, so for the first time she’s got to really stray away from that and play someone very different.”

Shadowhunters airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on Freeform.
