Shadowhunters star Katherine McNamara opens up about a possible revival following axing and fan outcry

Fans of the Mortal Instruments TV adaptation Shadowhunters were devastated last week when it was announced that the show would end after the completion of its third and current season.

These last few weeks have seen the miraculous un-cancellations of both Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Expanse, thanks to other content providers jumping in and snapping up the rights. Lucifer's leading man Tom Ellis has also revealed there have been 'talks' to save that show, so could the same thing happen here?

Star Katherine McNamara sure hopes so. The Clary Fray actress apparently told fans at Melbourne's Oz Comic-con that she has her fingers crossed another network picks the show up.

"I would love that!" she is quoted as saying. "I love the show and I would love to finish it out. Hopefully your tweets will encourage something to happen.

"If [the hashtags] make a difference, amazing. If not, we've got 10 more amazing episodes in the can and we're gonna shoot the most kickass finale you've ever seen."

Karey Burke, EVP of Programming and Development for Freeform, explained the cancellation by saying: "We went back and forth with (production company Constantin Film) but ultimately we just couldn't make the economics work.

"We were very happy creatively with it."

Shadowhunters will return in 2019 with 12 episodes left to air and a two-episode special finale. Netflix airs the show in the UK.
