THE 100 actor Chai Hansen heads to SHADOWHUNTERS in an anticipated role!
Back at San Diego Comic-Con, Shadowhunters showrunners Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer announced that Season 3 would bring the first appear of Jordan Kyle, a by-chance friend of Simon’s who has some surprising secrets up his sleeve. Now, we finally have a casting announcement!
Aussie actor Chai Hansen, who previously played Ilian on The 100 and will soonn be seen in Netflix’s The New Legends of Monkey, is set to portray the intriguing, if somewhat controversial, new addition to the story.
The official Shadowhunters socials shared the news with a short but amusing video featuring Alberto Rosende (Simon) introducing Chai to the fandom. It looks like the video takes place right outside Kyle’s apartment door!
