It is a tragic reason for a show to be cancelled, especially since Freeform expressed no issues with the show’s creative direction or its ratings performance.
For their part, Shadowhunters’ fans are still rallying to save the show.
Based on Shadowhunters showrunner Todd Slavkin’s tweet, viewers should expect to be left with a satisfying ending, even if they’re still very dissatisfied with the decision to cancel the series.
Unfortunately, fans have a wait in front of them before they see how the finale is handled.
