Shadowhunters show runners have revealed where the show would have gone in season four if it hadn’t been cancelled, and it’s time to draft your fanfiction.

The supernatural drama was pulled in August 2018 with network Freeform confirming the news in a tweet to fans but now Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer have admitted things were going to get epic for Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood.

‘Dark Magnus was something we were going to lean into and Asmodeus was going to be a huge part of season four,’ the showrunners told Metro.co.uk.

‘That was really exciting, and Alec would bring him back from the dark side, that was a story we loved.’

Elsewhere, the show would have continued to dive into Jonathan Morgenstern and his reign of terror – and we were going to see much more of a huge fan favourite family.

‘Helen and Aline, we had huge plans for that and the Blackthorn family and the kids and the LA institute, all of that stuff was like big on the board for season four. We were super excited about that,’ the showrunners added.

‘Jonathan would have been bigger and badder than ever, and the darkest part of him would come out – Luke Baines was just getting started and that’s what’s so hard, he’s so talented but there are so many more stories to tell of him.’

Shadowhunters may have only run for three seasons but the legacy the show leaves behind for the cast, its fan and TV is wide.

The supernatural drama premiered in 2016 with FreeForm’s largest audience in more than two years and went on to win numerous MTV Fandom, Teen Choice and People’s Choice Awards as well as the coveted GLAAD award for outstanding drama series thanks to its inclusive representation of the LGBTQ communuity.

Despite mixed reaction from critics, the show told stories that resonated deeply with viewers, including battling with sexual identity, racial and ethnic discrimination, and the Other.
