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.
