The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones may have been panned by critics when it was released at cinemas in 2013, but hopes are still high for the TV adaptation, which will air on ABC's newly relaunched Freeform channel. Director McG is one of the people behind Shadowhunters, bringing a lot of TV experience having worked on the likes of The O.C. and Chuck, with the cast including Katherine McNamara and Harry Shum Jr. While the film failed, the fact that Freeform will be using this to kick start their 'new' channel suggests that they're throwing a lot behind it, and there is certainly scope for greater character development and storytelling over a series than was possible in the movie.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
