For Simon Lewis, the world of the SHADOWHUNTERS TV show will reportedly be a whole lot different than THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS.
A source working on the production of the SHADOWHUNTERS television series for ABC Family has allegedly leaked some new details to SpoilerTV. Some of the information references the books and the rest is fairly minor. Until we see how the story may change for Simon, that is.
Here’s the leaked info:
- Manga is referenced. (Specifically Dragon Ball)
- Characters are aged up by about 2-3 years.
- Clary is attending the Brooklyn Academy Of Art.
- The Institute is seen in the pilot.
- Simon’s band has different members. This includes Natalie Adams (Simon’s girlfriend) with a pomeranian named Yeti and bass player Gary.
So Simon already has a girlfriend named Natalie, who also happens to be a member of the band. Does this mean he’s no longer pining after Clary? Or are we in store for unnecessary love square drama instead of just a love triangle?
We can deal with the dog, because we absolutely believe Simon would name a pomeranian Yeti. We can deal with a bassist named Gary, even though Simon is the bassist and his bandmates Eric, Kirk, and Matt are referenced regularly throughout the series. But we don’t know how we feel about this girlfriend character.
As of right now, it seems Cassandra Clare (who just heard the news today) is just trying to keep fans calm:
