Sarah Hyland is joining Freeform’s Shadowhunters in a guest role. The Modern Family actress will appear in two episodes this summer.
Hyland’s character is being kept under wraps. The network will release details at a later date, and at this time is describing her role as a “special guest appearance.” Hyland’s first episode date has also not been announced. Shadowhunters returns with the back-half of its second season tonight at 8 p.m.
Hyland has starred for eight seasons on ABC’s Modern Family, which has been renewed for two more seasons. The Shadowhunters gig is the latest for Hyland in the Disney/ABC portfolio, following her role on ABC’s Dirty Dancing and her voice role on Disney Junior’s Lion King series, The Lion Guard.
The guest gig also brings Hyland to a project alongside her real-life boyfriend “Shadowhunters” star Dominic Sherwood, whom she’s publicly supported on social media — last month, Hyland posted a photo with Sherwood and the cast at “Shadowhunters” wrap party, writing, “Congratulations #shadowfam on wrapping up season 2! Can’t wait for 3!”
