What’s This TV Show About?
On the Shadowhunters TV show, young Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) celebrates her 18th birthday at a New York City nightclub and sees a group of teenagers with supernatural abilities attacking a demon. She realizes that she is the only person who can see them and later learns that she’s one of a long line of demon hunters. When her mother, Jocelyn (Maxim Roy) is kidnapped, Clary must join other hunters to try to save her. All the while, she is learning about her new supernatural abilities. The rest of the Freeform cast includes Matthew Daddario, Alberto Rosende, Dominic Sherwood, Harry Shum Jr., Emeraude Toubia, and Isaiah Mustafa.

Telly’s Take
While the second season of Shadowhunters has dropped off considerably, it is still in the top half of Freeform’s programming slate. Freeform has cancelled and renewed shows doing both better and worse than Shadowhunters. It also seems to fit with the Freeform brand. At this time, I suspect Shadowhunters will be renewed for a third season.
4/21 Update: Shadowhunters has been renewed for season three on Freeform. Details here.

What do you think? Did you expect the Shadowhunters TV show to be renewed for a third season? How would you feel if Freeform had cancelled this TV show, instead?
I think the casting is so much better than the movie and the special effects are not unbelievably over the top, like some shows. I look forward to watching Shadowhunters every week, and am eagerly awaiting for the second half of Season 2 to be aired. Please continue on with Season 3!!
Most definitely needs a third season I would be so bummed if it doesn’t finish
This definately needs a third season as its still so unfinished 🙁
Absolutely need a third season this is my favorite TV show. I’m dying to know if Jace tells clary about them not being siblings.
Please bring this back in have watched every episode since season 1. I am so addicted to this show that I’m going to get pissed if I am unable to finish what I started. Please DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
