#SaveSaturdays Shadowfam: Enter our ‘Shadowhunters’ S3b contest

The Shadowfam once rallied around a Toronto screening timed to the season 3b premiere of Shadowhunters, and the energy of that night still echoes through fan circles today. Film Daily and Fancity Central brought together local devotees at Innis Town Hall for a private watch party, cosplay contests, rune tattoos, and a photo booth stocked with posters from artist David Nephilim. Proceeds after costs went straight to The Trevor Project, a lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth that remains central to the fandom's charitable efforts.

Guests that evening included actors and crew members who had already become familiar faces to viewers. Their bios capture the moment, yet many have continued building careers in the years since the series wrapped.

Adam K. Wilson

Adam is no stranger to sci-fi and fantasy, and after appearances in The Expanse, 12 Monkeys, and narrating the alien abduction series Alien Mysteries, donning a set of rubber horns to portray Ragnor Fell for Shadowhunters was a logical move. Though the series does away with Ragnor’s green skin as described in the books, his appropriately prickly performance as the former High Warlock was embraced by the fans and he’s since been outspoken about his support for the Shadowfam and The Trevor Project.

Brian Hui

Without Brian’s handiwork and makeup expertise, there’s no way the stars of Shadowhunters would look as good as they do. With a background in musicals working for classic Broadway adaptations Chicago and Hairspray, Hui's had a soaring career working alongside the makeup teams for prestige shows like The Expanse and Designated Survivor, as well as working with Jessica Chastain for political thriller Miss Sloane. Make sure to hit him up during the Q&A for some killer makeup tips.

Jade Hassouné

Jade is a young actor known for working alongside the late Paul Walker in Brick Mansions as well as appearances in Orphan Black, Heartland, and That’s My DJ. He’s best known to us for playing the faerie knight Maliorn – just don’t expect him to be rocking that hairdo on the night. Jade Hassouné continues as an actor and has released new music.

Josh Horvath

Josh is familiar to us as the swarmy, blood-thirsty vampire, Joshua, who haunted the Shadowhunters gang since the second season. He's no stranger to the undead, having previously played a vampiric victim in Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain. Hit him up for tips on sharpening your stakes and growing the best garlic, and make sure you tune in to his next gig, skating sports drama Spinning Out, where he'll be featuring alongside Kaya Scodelario. Josh Horvath appeared in Spinning Out (2020).

Stephanie Belding

Stephanie has enjoyed an illustrious career on both stage and screen, having appeared in regional theaters across America. As well as gaining Film Daily kudos with her guest role in Dark Matter, she’s also worked with Zack Snyder in the superhero epic Watchmen as well as alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 50/50. We know and love her as the notorious warlock, Dr. Iris Rouse. Stephanie Belding has appeared in projects including Cross (2025-2026).

Kevin Alves

Kevin portrays what has to be one of our favorite recurring roles, Bat Velasquez, the hapless new member of the New York werewolf pack who provided more than a little trouble for the Shadowgang. He clearly got a taste for the supernatural, as he appeared in Locke & Key (2020) and Yellowjackets (2021).

John Rakich

If you’ve been dreaming of a career in the production side of TV, John’s the guy to talk to. He’s had over twenty years' experience in the biz working as a location scout, ensuring your favorite shows look as picturesque as possible. As well working with the Shadowhunters team since the beginning, he’s provided his services for critically acclaimed series like The Expanse, American Gods, and Hannibal. He served as president of the Location Managers Guild International. Come back here for further announcements! If you live in or near Toronto, make sure to click right here to purchase your tickets.

Shadowhunters Legacy and Fan Events Today

Years after the series finale, the fandom still gathers for screenings, panels, and virtual watch parties. Cast members have reunited for fan events and projects as recently as 2024-2026. Fans continue to organize screenings and support the series years after cancellation, keeping the stories of the Shadow World alive through conventions and charity drives.

The Trevor Project's Ongoing Impact

The Trevor Project provides crisis support and helplines for LGBTQ+ youth, and Shadowhunters fans have collectively raised significant funds for the organization. The charity connection that began with events like the Toronto screening has grown into sustained advocacy, turning a television fandom into a reliable source of support for young people in crisis.

Where the Cast Is Now

Several guests have credits in projects after 2019 including Locke & Key, Yellowjackets, and stage work. Some guests remain active in acting, music, or production roles, moving between network series, independent films, and live performance while staying connected to the Shadowfam through occasional appearances.

Toronto as a Shadowhunters Filming Hub

Shadowhunters was filmed in Toronto with local crew including location scouts. The Innis Town Hall screening ties into the city's production community, where soundstages, streetscapes, and skilled technicians gave the show its distinctive look. Many of the same professionals who worked on the series continue to shape Canadian television and film today.

The night at Innis Town Hall captured a particular moment in the show's run, but the connections formed there have lasted. Whether through charity work, reunion panels, or new projects, the people who gathered for that premiere screening keep the Shadow World in motion long after the final episode aired.
