The two actors joined their co-stars Emeraude Toubia, Alberto Rosende, Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum, Jr., and Isaiah Mustafa, plus executive producer/director McG and showrunner Ed Decter.

“What we try to do is if we need to solve a problem or tell a plot point, what we do is first look to the whole cannon of Cassandra‘s [Clare] literature and find a solution within her books that help us out with a plot point or a story point that we want to do,” Ed explained about staying true to the books.

He added, “Even characters that might not have been in the book, we sort of combine some things from the books to make that character so that we’re really using the Mortal Instruments all the time and also, her offshoot things like The Bane Chronicles.”

Recovery Road‘s Alexis Carra, Sharon Leal, Jessica Sula, Sebastian de Souza, Daniel Franzese, Kyla Pratt and David Witts, along with executive producers Bert V. Royal and Karen DiConcetto also chatted about their new series as well.

Christina Hendricks poses for photos while attending the SundanceTV panel at the 2016 Winter TCA Tour on Friday (January 8) at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, Calif.

The 40-year-old former Mad Men actress was joined at the event by her Hap and Leonard co-star James Purefoy.

Christina plays the part of Hap’s ex-wife and she says “when I read it, she jumped off the page to me. I thought, ‘I want to get to know her. I want to embody this person.’ I liked her freedom, her saunter, her vernacular. I find her very playful and hopeful – and a trainwreck. I liked all of those things.”

Hap and Leonard premieres on Wednesday, March 2 at 10/9c on Sundance Channel.

James Franco and Sarah Gadon chat up their new mini-series, 11.22.63, during the 2016 Television Critics Association Winter Tour held at Langham Hotel on Saturday morning (January 9) in Pasadena, Calif.

The two stars were joined by T.R. Knight and Josh Duhamel as they premiered the trailer for the upcoming show, which centers on a teacher who travels back in time to try to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

“I wasn’t alive when it happened, but it’s a big event,” James shared on the panel. “It’s sort of become, in a weird way, legend for my generation where it feels like Marilyn Monroe or James Dean. But in fact it was this horrific event. I thought this story and approach was so great because it’s a fresh way in.”

He added, “We’re not exactly telling a history lesson … You get to learn everything all over again, but from a completely fresh perspective we haven’t really seen before. It’s a way to guide a new generation into what happened.”
