‘Shadowhunters’ Canceled at Freeform, Will End With Two-Hour Finale
The genre drama produced by Constantin Film has been canceled after three seasons. The genre drama based on the Mortal Instruments feature film franchise will wrap up in spring 2019 with the second half of season three and an additional two-hour series finale for a total of 12 new episodes.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Constantin Film lost its output deal with Netflix, which helped to foot the bill for the pricey genre drama. Without Netflix’s financial backing Constantin sought a greater cash infusion from Freeform, which sources say was unable to afford to keep the series running.
“We are very proud of Shadowhunters, a series that broke new ground in the genre world and became a fan favorite,” the network said in a statement. “However, along with our partners at Constantin, we reached the very difficult decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. But as big supporters and fans ourselves, Freeform insisted on and championed the filming of a special two-part finale that would give devoted fans a proper ending. The 12 episodes will air in spring 2019. We want to thank our talented creators, producers, cast and crew along with our colleagues at Constantin for their hard work and dedication and to Cassie Clare for her incredible book series. We look forward to the final chapter of this breakthrough drama.”
