Shadowhunters season 3: Is Katherine McNamara returning?

Shadowhunters - Clary - Katherine McNamara

Just in case you were wondering coming out of the Shadowhunters season 3 midseason finale, know this: You are going to see Katherine McNamara returning as Clary. While it may have seemed superficially that Clary died in the midst of the quest to stop Lilith (and in turn Jonathan), that’s not entirely the case.

Speaking a little more on this subject in a new interview with TVLine, show executive producer Todd Slavkin said the following on the subject:

“Kat McNamara is coming back to the show. Without ruining it, the fact that Jonathan’s hand grabbed her from that coffin means something moving forward. She wasn’t alone when she ran across that room. And Lilith did a whole lot to bring back Jonathan; the arm proved that it worked — and that he’s alive.”

Basically, consider this a case of very good and very bad news for the Institute and beyond. It’s pretty darn clear at this point that things are going to get even crazier than they were as we push even further into season 3.

On a different note, Slavkin also confirmed that you’re going to see more of Lilith — which makes sense, given that we never actually saw her die per se:

“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.”

Now, the question we have to wonder is this — if she gets back to New York, how intent will she be for revenge at that point? If you thought that Lilith was angry and/or desperate before, you’re going to see her take things to new heights moving forward.
