Description: Based on the bestselling young adult fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, “Shadowhunters” follows 18-year-old Clary Fray, who finds out on her birthday that she is not who she thinks she is but rather comes from a long line of Shadowhunters – human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When her mother, Jocelyn, is kidnapped, Clary is thrown into the world of demon hunting with mysterious Shadowhunter Jace and her best friend, Simon. Now living among faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, Clary begins a journey of self-discovery as she learns more about her past and what her future may hold. Freeform

Why Was It Cancelled? This show started off with decent ratings for Freeform in its first season and also generated plenty of activity on the social networks. Its numbers slipped through its second and third seasons, though, and the network decided to end it after its third year. They did give it an additional two-hour series finale to wrap up all its storylines. Fans still want more, though, and are currently lobbying for a fourth season, perhaps on a different venue.
