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:

I like the show, I’m sad that they are canceling it. Maybe it will be picked up by another like a Netflix or Hulu and continue the series.
Love The Show and Cast! Hate That The Show Is Being Cancelled!!!
This is a awesome show with great actors. It really sucks that it is being canceled.
Will watch final shows of Shadowhunters, but no other shows on freeform. They have lost me as a viewer when it goes off.
I love watching and re-watching shadow hunters. Please don’t end it. It is a really great show. We love it.
I love watching shadow hunters and believe it is one of the best series that have been brought out on Netflix.I love how it is so exciting to watch and leaves you wanting to see what happens next.I also believe the characters have great conections and that is something I believe helps the show become more entertaining to watch.I love clary and jacies relationship,I also love how the characters have evolved. I hope that it does not get cancelled!! And I have hope that in the future there will be more exciting seasons.
I love shadowhunters It is something different and out of the ordinary. I watched faithfully every episode and I even purchased the first two seasons on my tablet. I would even purchase on DVD of freeform would release them .I emailed them but got no response. The story line is great the character and actors are amazing and the special effects beyond expectations. Please don’t end the show before the full set of books are completed. Keep something that keeps one one the edge of their seat instead of the same every day boring ,same story line junk on tv.… Read more »

I got hooked on Shadowhunters after watching Motal Instruments. Good clean acting & characters. I was hoping for a longer run.
I love Shadowhunters. I will be watching the shows til the end. I wish that it was staying. I also love watching the Freeform channel.
I fell in love with Shadow Hunters from the first season and was looking forward to many more seasons. I enjoyed watching the many talented actors and actresses do their magic in making the series come alive and fascinating to watch. I am 69 years old and I don’t watch television that much anymore but this show caught and held my interest, now this popular series is being yanked off the air. It is so totally unfair after I started telling my friends and family how great this show was and they should check it out. Not one network is… Read more »
It should b continued into many other seasons since the book series is lengthy so have another station pick them up and renew.
So heartbroken that the Shadowhunter series is being cancelled. I am 67 years old and I love this show!! The story lines are great, the special effects are wonderful and the acting is superb! Why do the powers that be cancel shows that are so popular? I don’t get it! I hate, just hate reality shows! This one is so different and appealing to people of all ages! Take another look at what you have and please make a decision to keep it!! I didn’t know about Freeform until a friend told me, and I thought wow, an innovative network… Read more »
This is a shock! Why cancel a popular, well made, ground-breaking tv show, with a strong dedicated fan base? I do hope another network picks it up, as after reading the books I know there are so many more stories to tell. Very, very disappointed and puzzled. Makes no sense
I love this show, and I am reading the books for the second time yes there are changes but not enough to not watch. I had heard that FreeForm bought the rights to 4 books to see where it would go and that’s right where they are. Is Cassandra Clare holding them for ransom for the rest of the books this is just not fair to those of us who have invested our time in the books and series.
