Did Freeform just troll Shadowhunters fans again? Network uses hit show tagline for new project 'Siren'
Looks like Freeform is at it again. The 'it' in question happens to be the network stealing ideas from its own hit show, 'Shadowhunters' and incorporating it into another show for unexplainable reasons. In simpler terms, Freeform chose to pass off a promotional video for the upcoming Season 2 of its mermaid fantasy 'Siren' with the same tagline they have used for one of their most popular shows ever, 'Shadowhunters,' based on Cassandra Clare's novels 'The Mortal Instruments.'
Now, this is big because in the last three years of its airing, 'Shadowhunters' has managed to acquire a fiercely loyal and also arguably the largest possible global fandom. And this fandom happens to be extremely protective of their show - so much so that when the show was abruptly canceled after its second season, they started a worldwide campaign titled #SaveShadowhunters to get Freeform to save it or hoping another network will keep the show alive.
