There is a behind the scenes shakeup on Freeform’s fantasy series Shadowhunters. Ed Decter, who developed for television the adaptation of The Mortal Instruments novels and served as executive producer in Season 1, has abruptly exited the series, which was renewed for a second season in March. There is no replacement yet.
I hear Decter departed a few days ago and was not present at today’s first table read for Shadowhunters‘ second season. I hear the departure was over creative differences, and the new showrunner(s) are expected to tweak the series’ creative direction for Season 2. In the meanwhile, production is expected to continue as scheduled, with no impact from Decter’s exit.

Does Decter’s departure spell the beginning of the end for Shadowhunters? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Shadowhunters Season 3…

Season 2 is just starting to be filmed (like this coming week)…. They aren’t going to cancel a show just because a Showrunner leaves either. Season 3 is a long way away, but nice clickbait title.

Clearly you haven’t been paying attention. Networks can cancel a show at any time and showrunner departures over ‘creative differences’ are rarely a positive.
