‘Shadowhunters’ season 2: Premiere date speculation for Freeform drama

Tonight, the season 1 finale of “Shadowhunters” came to an end on Freeform, but there is still one major question the remains: When is the series, based on the Cassandra Clare stories, going to return?

Unfortunately, all early indications are that you are not going to see new episodes on the show for a long time … and it may not be until 2017 when you see it back on the air. That’s a bummer, but hopefully it will end up being worth the wait since there is still a rather large amount of source material still to be discussed. Hopefully, at some point later this year you will find out some more news regarding the story ahead and the premiere date.

Just in case you want some more insight regarding new and old characters you will see in the second season, executive producer Ed Decter had the following to say to TVLine:

“Some characters we’ve met go through giant transformation. Simon’s girlfriend Maureen has a lot in store for her, and there’s a lot in store for Jocelyn and Luke. There will be new characters we meet as well, including the Seelie Queen. We’ll start building into each of the realms in a different way.”

We do think that there is a tremendous amount of upside for “Shadowhunters” that has not even been explored yet, and hopefully some streaming venues will help to improve the ratings even more than what they already are. After all, we see this being a show that could be a part of the network lineup for some time moving forward.
