Hour by hour, you can tell more story and dive more deeply into the subject matter, the North Star of that being ‘Game Inspired by Cassandra Clare’s “The Mortal Instruments” of Thrones.’ I don’t think that would be nearly as satisfying novels, “Shadowhunters” tackles that mission as Katherine as a two- or three-hour movie as it is an hour at a time McNamara (previously seen on ABC Family’s “The Fosters,” over a 10-hour season.” Ed Decter, co-writer of the movie which also will continue on Freeform) stars as Clary Fray, “There’s Something About Mary,” also is a “Shadowhunters” who’s stunned to discover she belongs to a line of half- executive producer. human, half-angels that hunt demons. She gets a personal reason to join that quest when her mother is kidnapped; The ample physical training required of the cast became Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Emeraude Toubia “sort of a bonding experience for all of us,” McNamara and Matthew Daddario play her comrades in battling the reports. “We all had a personal trainer, then we also had otherworldly. gymnastics training so we could do a bunch of our own stunts.

Not only do you star in “Shades of Blue,” you’re also part of the team of executive producers on it. How is that helping you in making sure the show is done the way you want? They’re making sure that every line comes to life, and that every line is the right line. We’d be in my trailer, and we’d see that an episode had a real opportunity to be something super-profound about humanity. We’d be sitting there trying to find the one line, and not giving up until it was exactly what we thought it could be. Looking at all the promos now, it just shows you how every moment is important, and so is how everything looks. Producing is exciting for me in that way, because being an actor for so many years, I was just doing my part – literally – and having to stay in my lane. To be able to be part of the whole picture and take an idea from inception to the final edit is so exciting, and I’m really proud of it. I really feel this is about how people are good, but we get messy. The goodness in us is always trying to supersede the bad judgments we make sometimes. You’re also an executive producer of “The Fosters,” which resumes on the newly renamed Freeform on Jan. 25. What is that series accomplishing for you in terms of the kind of programming you want to make? Talking about “Shades of Blue” as well, television can help in so many ways, and I really believe “The Fosters” does that. It pushes the envelope and educates people about what’s going on. It’s such a beautiful show.
