This fantasy adventure series is based on the young adult fantasy book series by Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments. The books have been popular for years. Will the Shadowhunters TV show on Freeform have the same kind of longevity? How will it perform in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
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 is kidnapped, she must join other hunters to try to save her, all while learning about her new supernatural abilities. The rest of the cast includes Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Matthew Daddario, Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa, and Harry Shum, Jr.

What do you think? Do you like the Shadowhunters TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I dvr the show, I completely love the show. I wasn’t sure I would like it but it’s awesome. They picked amazing actors to play the characters. If they cancel this show I will just cancel cable and stick to Netflix, they end up canceling every good show. Can not wait to see what the future for Clary and Jace is gonna hold.
Love this show! Can’t wait for the next season! I’m hooked!
This is like the best show ever. CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 2. it would be a huge mistake for the best shoe EVER to not keep going. I WANT TO SEE MORE!!!
love this show I have read the books over and over and I love how the show has incorporated only bits and pieces of the book, its funny to watch and think “hang on that wasn’t how it was in the book” I love it and I hope that it doesn’t end with the same fate as some other really good shows that were replaced by reality TV. doesn’t anyone know that television was made for fiction NOT reality.
it really annoys me when some of my favourite shows get replaced by reality.
Love love love this show. It ties into the books just enough and strays enough to keep you guessing. So excited for season 2!
Absolutely love this show! I am completely glued to the tv every time it comes on. Can’t wait for the next season!!!
I’m a huge fan of the books, they very well might just be my favourite book series ever. Because of this, I want the show to be cancelled. The acting is so poor and everything is just taking itself way too seriously when the books though serious, had humor and it wasn’t cringy like the show. Too many things very changed and not for the better. Honestly feel like the movie was better than whatever this is.
I really love how different this show is from the book because I only know the general idea of what’s going to happen, so there are still surprises in the show.
Can you please update this page with Episode 11’s ratings! That episode aired last night thanks. Also to let you know this Season will Have 13 episodes and the season finale will be Tuesday, April 5, 2016.
I loved the books and I love the show. It’s frustrating that we have to wait til 2017
Season One started in January! I bet Season 2 will start around September 2016
Please don’t cancel the show!!!? I’ve been a fan of the books and they already did away with turning these into movies. I need the show!! The fans deserve to have this keep going. It does venture away from the books some but still basically the same core story and it’s GOOD!!
I love this series & the spin they put on the episodes, so that it’s not exactly like reading the books again. I love the show “Shadowhunters” and every episode gets better than the last. Please don’t cancel this series! Too many great shows are being canceled because of people watching them online or recording them on DVR’s and watching them later. (Don’t leave us with only terrible reality shows to watch, I beg of u!!!) I know this nearly eliminates advertisements, and without people watching these advertisements, so they can go buy these products, because they can bypass commercials… Read more »
Can I start sooner please. The wait will be soo hard.
All of you need to stop watching this evil, vulgar, violent, LGBTQ promoting show. I was repulsed when I watched this. Stop watching it all of you. It needs to be cancelled before season 2.
Wow get a life it’s 2016, if you don’t like it us it that hard to turn it off? I swear another crazy religious person Judging people when that’s one main thing the Bible preaches against. It’s a fantasy TV show for crying out loud!
who are you to decide what people can and cannot watch just because you may not agree?? are you that arrogant to think your opinion is better or more correct then anyone elses? especially over a tv show?
So happy that there will be a second season and we will see more of the story on TV!!
