"The show has changed lives, even saved them": 'Shadowhunters' fan shares a powerful story of how the show turned her life around

An active campaigner in the #SaveShadowhunters Movement, Gerri (KJ) shares with MEAWW the reasons why the show must go on
PUBLISHED DEC 7, 2018

For most TV viewers, 'Shadowhunters' may just be another supernatural sci-fi drama series that brings a vibrant blend of warlocks, vampires and werewolves into a rich storyline. But the fantasy show, based on Cassandra Clare's bestselling young adult book series 'The Mortal Instruments' that follows a group of human-angel hybrids who fight to protect their world by hunting down demons, goes beyond the scope of mere entertainment.

Beneath the story of teens combating evil is a narrative that has struck deep chords with viewers on relationships, representing different minority communities and becoming a voice for the voiceless. So much so that when news of Freeform cancelling 'Shadowhunters' after it's season three run came to light, fans launched intense campaigns to #SaveShadowhunters.
