There’s good news and bad news for fans of the Shadowhunters TV show. There’s 12 more episodes of season three to come. On the downside, that dozen installments will be the end for Shadowhunters — and viewers will have to wait until Spring 2019 to see them.
A supernatural drama based on The Mortal Instruments book series by Cassandra Clare, Shadowhunters stars Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Emeraude Toubia, Matthew Daddario, Isaiah Mustafa, Alisha Wainwright, and Harry Shum Jr. The series centers on Clary Fray (McNamara) who, upon turning 18, learned she is from a long line of demon hunters called “Shadowhunters.” In season three, the Shadowhunters and Downworlders try to return to normal, in the wake of Valentine’s death, but everyone is keeping secrets, which never ends well.
Here are the details about the series ending:

What do you think? Dou you like the Shadowhunters TV show? Will you be watching the final episodes? Are you sorry that Freeform is ending the series?
Why are you getting rid of all the good Sci-Fi /
Fantasy and really good drama shows and sticking us with stupid Reality TV/Game Shows/Housewives/The Idol/The Voice type shows>???? I would rather watch something I know can never happen to me and lose myself in a good story. I think it’s because the Reality stars don’t get paid as much as real actors/actresses get paid or you are just plain dumb when it comes to what we love to watch!
Me and my daughter are very sad that the show is ending. We have read all the books and know that there was so much more to come.
Truly bummed out about losing ShadowHunters! I hope that freeform rethinks their decision about Not renewing for season four. Every time I read an article I always see how this is a “groundbreaking TV show” and how it has such an “amazing fan base” and one of the “top rated shows” ECT… Then why would you not continue producing a TV show that’s actually good? There are not to many shows Playing now which I really find truly interesting and that I actually want to watch. It’s a shame that I’ll be losing Shadowhunters because now, I don’t think there’s… Read more »
ShadowHunters should not be cancelled look at all the ones that stay on the air that should be taken off the air. I don’t know where you get your rating from but this is a good show and should remain on the AIR.
I really love ShadowHunters you should not cancel this show it’s a great show
that’s a shame, not happy
Shadowhunters is one of my favourite TV Shows I love the characters, cast story and #malec. Please, please, please reconsider cancelling it
I want a season 4 so bad. It’s the only show that’s caught my attention in years. I love the cast and story
great series a bit too heavy on relationships at times.and not heavy enough on magic/horror at other times…but really enjoyed it. its a shame its ending.theres so much in this “world”
Its a great show and the most touching part was when Jace died, i couldnt stop crying. Such a shame theres not going to be a season 4. 🙁
Shadow hunters should not be cancelled its one of the better shows that is on.I sat up 3 nights watching the 3 seasons on streaming. I did not know they had a series . Please , reconsider cancelling .They have a new fan .
Being a huge fan of the books, I really hate to see this series end. I believe that if they had stuck closer to the books, they wouldn’t have lost so many fans. Things just got too far out for most of us die hard book fans. It would be nice to see someone pick up the series just to see where they would take it. Hate getting hooked on a show just to watch it get canceled.
Yes, and I cannot wait for them to come out on DVD.
Not happy. I wish another network would pickup the show. As like others i really enjoyed shadowhunters.
Why why why please please people go watch over and over again come on we need more seasons ugh
