Last night, we were blindsided by the news that Freeform had made the decision to cancel Shadowhunters after three seasons; and just like you, the cast wasn’t prepared for it.
Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Matthew Daddario, Emeraude Toubia, and Isaiah Mustafa all took to social media to react to the devastating news.
“We just found out too — and believe me we are as shocked as you,” Katherine shared in a message on Twitter. “Truly, this show has been a treasure. I fell in love with this story and its mythology instantly.”
“Playing Clary has been an honor and a joy,” she adds. “She is such a special, strong lady (some might say short, redheaded and bad-tempered) — thank you for entrusting her to me and coming on this journey with us.”
You can read her entire message, plus Harry, Matthew and Dominic’s below:

We are sad to see Shadowhunters come to an end. If it's any solace to the fans, the episodes to come are truly some of the best of the series. Thank you for all the support.
