Can you believe Freeform really
Picked up Shadowhunters because it had a built-in fanbase that would give them domestic ratings and a stronger lead-in for their own original series
Promoted Shadowhunters into being their most expensive show then took a year to air season two
Didnāt promote season three at all in the months leading up to it after yet another almost year-long hiatusĀ
Forced a ratingsĀ sabotageĀ because they were done with ShadowhuntersĀ
Tried to get their sugar daddy Netflix to go back on part of the deal and let them produce fewer episodes of Shadowhunters so they could focus on their own shows that have shitty ratingsĀ
Invited cast members to the upfronts without telling them the show would possibly be axed
Made the cast promote their other shows while still not telling them their show was over
Purposefully pushedĀ back 3b so that negotiations for any other network to pick up the show would be nearly impossible to get done in a timely manner, meaning fans will possibly have to wait until 2020 to get season 4 anywhere
Ordered a movie finale so fans could have closure so networks would have to try even harder to write around canon, making them less inclined to pick up the series unless itās a reboot or spin-off
Lied and said the show was canceled PURELY because of money when in reality, it couldāve taken a budget cut AND weāve since learned that it was actually canceled because Netflix stopped backing it DUE TO FREEFORM trying to break their contract terms.
Are going to air a Halloween episode in fucking MarchĀ
Told the cast about the cancelation after making graphics, press release contacts, and already deciding to shift 3b to spring 2019
Canceled their huge, GLAAD award winning LGBT+ series - with only of the only stated asexual characters on TV - during Pride month and had the nerve to leave the Pride icon on their twitter and Malec as their pinned tweetĀ
Ignored fans for over a week, ignored 5 million tweets asking them to at least put 3b back in August so we wonāt have to wait as long for the new network to start season 4
Hasnāt used the Shadowhunters account since the announcement
Posted about the Fosters getting TCA nominations but nothing about Shadowhunters getting FIVE in the first round of nomās
Said they wanted Shadowhunters to be like their SPN (aka the staple show of the network) but went and treated the show, the cast, the crew, the writers, the fandom, LGBT+ people, PoC, Netflix, and Constantin like trash
