Return to the Shadows with Katherine McNamara and Dominic Sherwood

Everyone’s got a problem in this week’s episode, and Kat and Dom are here to solve it all. If you’ve ever wondered where dance circles and the Shadow World intersect or why nobody ever went looking for Dot - then today is your day. You’ll even get a play-by-play of how to make a nose bleed on screen… although we don’t recommend you try it at home.

Kaitlyn Leeb AKA ancient vampire Camille Belcourt joins Kat and Dom to talk all things Shadow World. They reminisce about Kaitlyn’s days on the show (and the other characters she auditioned for!), the difference between pet therapy and pet psychics, and how running in 4-inch stilettos in a graveyard just becomes second nature after a while.

The start of Season Two means that Kat, Dom and the entire Shadow World get to deal with all of the fallout from Season One. Jocelyn is awake, Lydia has been left by “arguably the most handsome man in the world”, there’s family drama galore, and Kat has a bone to pick with Valentine… although it might not be the one you’d think. Will it ever get easier for our beloved Shadow Fam?

Ryan Reed, Season One’s Department Head Hairstylist, joins Kat and Dom to talk about all of the iconic looks he’s created over the years. The three chat about the many ways Ryan made a behind-the-scenes impact - from Clary’s exact shade of red hair to the safe space he created in his trailer and the sheer amount of hairspray that was used on Dom.

Kat and Dom chat with their first (but hopefully not last!) Oscar-winning guest - J. Miles Dale, who directed three of Season One’s most iconic episodes. After 35 years in the entertainment industry, Dale knows his stuff. On today’s episode, the three discuss everything from the “killing lightning” in the Seelie Glade to the ins and outs of filming with snakes.

Kat and Dom take one last step into The (Season One) Institute as they rewatch Morning Star, the epic finale. After twelve motherless episodes, many hung cliffs, and more dead demons than we can count, it’s time to discuss everything from how exactly to chop off Hodge’s hand to that special face Dom makes when he runs. Sorry, Dom.

Adam Kenneth Wilson AKA the powerful Ragnor Fell delights Kat and Dom with his experience shooting the Malec episode. He recounts how he fooled everyone with his British accent (yes, even Dom), the special community created on the set of Shadowhunters, and what it’s like to voice a video game - plus, we’re graced with a visit from two fluffy felines!
