Maisie Williams - Doctor Who

Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams is about to take a trip away from Westeros and into the far reaches of space and time, with a guest-starring part on an episode of BBC America’s Doctor Who. Executive producer Steven Moffat won’t reveal who or what she’s playing, but did say, “She is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.” [TVLine]

The Mortal Instruments is getting a second chance on ABC Family. The cable network has given a 13-episode series order to Shadowhunters, a drama based on Cassandra Clare’s book series. Already a film released in 2013, the series follows Clary Fray as she discovers she comes from a long line of human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. Ed Decter (Unforgettable) will serve as showrunner, with filming scheduled to begin this May in Toronto. [THR]
