Word is that season two of the Shadowhunters TV show will be quite different from the first season. Freeform has also ordered more than 50% more episodes this time around. Will this help draw better ratings? Will Shadowhunters be renewed for a third season or, will it be cancelled instead? 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 Freeform cast includes Matthew Daddario, Alberto Rosende, Dominic Sherwood, Harry Shum Jr., Emeraude Toubia, and Isaiah Mustafa.

What do you think? Do you like the Shadowhunters TV show on Freeform? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
4/21 Update: Shadowhunters has been renewed for season three on Freeform. Details here.
Songs by Ruelle are nice and that’s it, efforts by show makers to give equal time to all characters has spoilt the story line and the show.
Season 1 was nice, Season 2 no good, Their is hardly any scene with DomKat nor do they have any chemistry, too boring, definitely a big let down compared to the books, I like MortalInstruments due to unparalleled love between Clace but in this show it is quite opposite.
I really hope shadowhunters continues with season 3 and 4 and on… i loved the books and I love the shows
please be a third season and so on.. I love the show and I hope they will continue with the show
It Should Be Renewed For A Third Season And So On
Please renew this show is so fantastic
renew for sure! I love this series.
This show is amazing and I watch every week. It should be renewed!! I’ve told so many people about it and all of them watch it now! (:
This show has improved off charts and shouldn’t be cancelled. Acting has improved and a lot of hard work has been invested to produce the show (judging by the visual quality). The show has fans all of over the world, so you consider the overall ratings from all digital platforms to decide whether to renew it for season 3 or not. #DontcancelShadowhunters
I love this show, it is off from the books but I still enjoy watching it. Please dont cancel it.

The show should be completely cancelled.
Why waste money on a TV show that won’t even stick to the original storyline. You can’t go around creating new characters and new headcanons that don’t exist. Do yourselves a favor and don’t renew it. Invest the money in something else.
Sorry, no offense, but I disagree. The show isn’t suppose to follow the books, because the books are original, and the producers are just trying change it up a bit, but still have the same skeleton of the books, and they’ve said that MANY times in interviews. And if you don’t like it, you don’t have to watch it. Don’t go telling them to cancel and invest the money in something else, because many people do like the show. Plus, its not for everyone, don’t like it don’t watch it , simple as that.
Renew for sure. They are all doing such a great job! I loved the books and i love how the show keeps me guessing. #dontCancelshadowhunter
The show is amazing! The way the actors and actresses have brought their characters to life is great. I really hope they don’t cancel the show. I will be completely heartbroken. #DontCancelShadowHunters!
I don’t want the show cancelled. People are just having a hard time with the changes from the books
I completely agree. People just have no room in their tiny brains for good change 😉 If they want it to follow the book, just REREAD the book and use some imagery!!
Renew the show, please. It has to much potential, it’s getting better. And I want at least a few more seasons to enjoy.
