Earlier this week, it was announced that fan-fave show Shadowhunters was cancelled.
U.S. broadcasting channel Freeform announced that the show will be ending after its third season.
The show, which airs weekly on Netflix in Australia, will have two-hour series finale in 2019 to say goodbye once and for all.
This show is so different from others such as Stranger Things and Game of Thrones where people watch it for the amusement.People watch Shadowhunters because it impacts us as individuals and helps us learn about ourselves. Shadowhunters just isn’t like the rest. #saveshadohwunters

I just think it would make complete sense for other networks/studios/streaming services to consider to #PickUpShadowhunters

It’s not a kind of show that you can just simply put down without at least expecting a passionate #SaveShadohwunters campaign by fans
These people @EmeraudeToubia @MatthewDaddario @HarryShumJr @Kat_McNamara @DomSherwood1 deserve our support. I hope they are proud of us, of this fight against the system. Keep going!!! #SaveShadohwunters #pickupshadowhunters @netflix @FreeformTV @hulu

It's amazing what we can achieve when we all unite as one. Let's keep on fighting together, for the cast, crew and for us. We can do it. #SaveShadohwunters #PickUpShadowhunters pic.twitter.com/mgxxlnbTrY

Contrary to what Netflix or Freeform might think, your voices MATTER. Use them and make sure you are being heard! #PickUpShadowhunters #SaveShadohwunters pic.twitter.com/Yo38E2Hxcj

If there’s this much support from fans, why the hell was it cancelled in the first place?

Karey Burke, EVP, Programming and Development at Freeform, told Deadline that the decision was “purely economic.”
“We went back and forth with them but ultimately we just couldn’t make the economics work,” she explained. “We were very happy creatively with it.”
It’s not unlikely for shows to be picked up by other networks when fans show enough support, so fingers crossed fam!!
