Deadline is reporting as an exclusive today that former Smallville Executive Producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer will be taking over Freeform’s Shadowhunters following the recent departure of Season 1 showrunner Ed Decter.
Slavkin and Swimmer’s most recent credits include Guilt; years ago, they departed Smallville to run The CW’s short-lived Melrose Place revival.
Deadline is also reporting that The Originals’ Matt Hastings has joined the series as an Executive Producer and series director.
Season 2 of Shadowhunters is now starting production and it will likely premiere on Freeform in early 2017. Read more of KSiteTV’s coverage of Shadowhunters here!
(Our advice to the new producers? Malec. Malec. Did we mention Malec? Oh, and a lot of Izzy being fierce.)
