The #SaveShadowhunters fan campaign is unprecedented in size and passion, but binding it all is the simplest ingredient: Love

'Shadowhunters' ending up winning four People's Choice Awards shortly after the show was abruptly canceled and that fueled the worldwide fan campaign to #SaveShadowhunters.

Earlier this year, around some time in June, fans of the Freeform show 'Shadowhunters' were hit with the news that would set off a chain of events that would go on to create TV history. The show was canceled after three extremely successful seasons. Right from its start in 2016, the show managed to gather a massive level of fan following with its young-adult fantasy plot which packed almost every genre of entertainment, especially drama, romance, supernatural, and fantasy, of course.

The show gets its incredible story based on the novels 'The Mortal Instruments' by Cassandra Clare. So naturally, when the show was canceled allegedly because of production issues and rising cost, the fans' unrest was inevitable -- something that led to the creators of the show to provide the fandom some sort of closure in the form of the second half of season three and an additional two-hour series finale for a total of 12 episodes. But then something even more unexpected happened.
