Fans are hardcore petitioning to bring back 'Shadowhunters' after cancellation

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.

But that's just not good enough for fans, who are now petitioning to save the show.

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!!
