The final episodes of Shadowhunters now have a premiere date!
Freeform announced on Saturday (November 3) that the series will return on February 25, and the episodes will be followed by the two-part wrap-up movie The Final Hunt.
Shadowhunters wrapped the first half of its third season back in May.
Although the finale appeared to take the lives of Clary (Katherine McNamara) and Lilith (Anna Hopkins), showrunner Todd Slavkin reminded TVLine, “You can never kill a greater demon, you can only banish them back to Edom. So Lilith is not gone. In fact, you’ll see her again. But the poor thing is stuck in Edom, and she’s not too happy about that.”
We can also expect to see Clary’s real brother Jonathan again – this time played by by Luke Baines – as he challenges the Shadowhunters with a “new level of evil that they can’t even imagine.”
On Alec (Matthew Daddario) and Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.), Todd said, “It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also beautiful. [Magnus] learns how to live in the moment, something he never had to do when he had powers. Season 3B is such a rollercoaster ride for Magnus Bane. We loved his arc in 3A, but for Harry Shum, Jr. as an actor, it’s a hell of a journey. It’s beautiful and profound and it’ll break your heart. You’re in for a ride that’s really intense to watch.”
Todd added, “When Maia (Alisha Wainwright) comes back in 3B, we get to really see what’s going on at the Jade Wolf — the pack politics. She’s forced to step up in a way she never thought she was capable of. She’s someone who has always chosen to run away when things get difficult. Alisha Wainwright is so good … and she comes back in a really cool way that fans will dig.”
