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.

Season 3 is really bad. The storyline suck and it isn’t helping to increase the ratings. Season 1 was good, season 2 was extra good, fun, enjoyable, plot was good, overall good scenario but season 3 is just stupidly bad. It isn’t even worth the time, scenario is whole mess, storyline is foxed up, writers aren’t even trying and they are just using classic way to fill the whole freaking episodes, acting are sucking too. I really liked the 1 and 2 season that is the only reason I am here commenting here. Please change or renew the storyline and… Read more »
PLEASE DON’T CANCLE SHADOWHUNTERS!!! This show is my favorite shows in the whole entire world. I read the book and someone told me about the show! I love it. Please, please, please don’t cancle it
Please do not cancel this show! I just started watching freeform channel when Siren came out and saw the commercial for Shadowhunters. Because I love Twilight, the show seemed interesting to watch. I was hooked! I watched the first season in two weekends and finished Season 2 one Friday night and was disappointed it stopped on episode 10 in season 3 when each of the other seasons had about 20 seasons. I have been searching to see when the episodes are going to start again. Love all the characters and the actors do a great job in each of their… Read more »
Please renew Shadow Hunters for Season 4. I love this show!
I love the show, but I think Kat and Dom need help with their acting.
I have enjoyed watching shadowhunters. I think you guys do an amazing job with it and I even got my boyfriend watching them with me. I hope that you guys do come out with season 4.
The show is getting worse and worse, bad acting, bad storyline, bad characters….
To be honest and just for the record the name of “Jonathan” was not Jonathan at first, The demon son was not owned with the name of “Jonathan” but all characters call him Jonathan specially her demon mother, She calls him Jonathan like she had called him this name for a long time.
The writers truly think we are stupid?
We are in UK and watch Shadowhunters on Netflix. We would be really sad if there were no Season 4 as we have enjoyed all Seasons and think they have got better each time!
I want to come back I liVe this TV show I want more of it.
Just my two cents but if you follow the ratings the ones with some of the lower numbers don’t have Maia Roberts in it. She wasn’t in the last two episodes which was silly for the spring finale. The ratings started to slip again. I hate it when shows don’t pay attention to these things. The whole cast is great but stop excluding certain characters. Not all fans are vocal or social media savvy. They’re known as casual viewers. They’ll just tune out and at this point I want a season 4 so the writers need to watch these numbers… Read more »
