'Shadowhunters' Finally Premieres TONIGHT!

Clary (Katherine McNamara) holds hands with Jace (Dominic Sherwood) in this still from tonight’s series premiere of Shadowhunters.

In “The Mortal Cup,” one young woman realizes how dark the city can really be when she learns the truth about her past.

Based on the bestselling young adult fantasy book series “The Mortal Instruments” by Cassandra Clare, the show follows 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.

Now thrown into the world of demon hunting after her mother is kidnapped, Clary must rely on the mysterious Jace and his fellow Shadowhunters Isabelle (Emeraude Toubia) and Alec (Matthew Daddario) to navigate this new dark world. With her best friend Simon (Alberto Rosende) in tow, Clary must now live among faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves to find answers that could help her find her mother.

Nothing is as it seems, including her close family friend Luke who knows more than he is letting on, as well as the enigmatic warlock Magnus Bane (Harry Shum Jr.) who could hold the key to unlocking Clary’s past.

Shadowhunters premieres TONIGHT, January 12 @ 9PM on Freeform.
