Despite a significant drop in the ratings last year, the Shadowhunters TV show on Freeform remained one of the cable network’s strongest Nielsen ratings performers and was renewed for a third season. Now that it’s back, can it entice some lost viewers to return from the shadows? Will Shadowhunters be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A Freeform 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 return to normal, in the wake of Valentine’s death, but everyone is keeping secrets, which never ends well.

Pllllllease keep the show going. They keep cancelling great shows for more reality tv
The whole point of TV is to get away from reality.
Please Renew Shadowhunters for season 4, it’s my favorite show and it can’t be over yet.
Who does these ratings. I wasn’t asked. Renew this show.
These ratings do not look good. It just needs to survive till season 4, and wrap the story up as soon as possible. I think a show like this will actually do better on the CW.
This is one of my favorite shows to watch weekly! Freeform needs to renew Shadowhunters and Sirens.
This is one of the best shows on TV besides Sirens. I watch weekly! Please renew!!
If more people knew about voting, this show would def have more votes. Please renew!
I need season 4! Reading all the books was amazing, and having the TV show is a dream come true!!! Season 1 may have been a little rough around the edges, but it’s just too awesome to cancel. I connect with my friends through this show and need to see it reach the end of the book plot! PLEASE!!!
