Fans were overjoyed. One wrote, "We did it! #SaveShadowhunters." Another wrote, "I’m so psyched that @ShadowhuntersTV won the PCA, BUT @peopleschoice had the AUDACITY to not formally present that award to us.

At the Red Carpet, Kat McNamara had said,""The crew, the cast, the writers and the fandom have become a family. We call each other ShadowFAM because it really is and it always will be."
