Is Katherine McNamara on shadowhunters? Why was shadowhunters cancelled?

The following is a statement made by Katherine McNamara to describe the show Shadowhunters: 

“It’s based on the “The Mortal Instruments” series by Cassandra Clare. And the basis for that world is every mythical creature, every legend, every story, every myth that you’ve heard is true. Vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, angels, warlocks, they’re all real. And they all exist in our world, [but] humans can’t see them. They call us Mundanes. And shadowhunters are a race of half-humans, half-angels and their task is to fight demons and protect humans from this crazy world that exists around them.

Clary Fray, the character that I play, is this normal 18-year old girl growing up in Brooklyn. She’s an art student living with her best friend and her mom and suddenly on her 18th birthday, weird things start to happen. She meets a mysterious stranger and suddenly her world changes. She learns she’s a shadowhunter and her mother has hidden this from her. We’ve shot six episodes so far, it’s been a crazy ride. But it’s such a fun world to live in because anything’s possible. It’s a very dark, very edgy, very sexy, very violent show and it kind of opens the door to [an] older audience in a very interesting and cool way.” 

The 2016 Freeform fantasy series Shadowhunters said last year that the decision to shelve the series was purely economic’. One source reported that during a media lunch, the Executive Vice President of Programming and Development Karey Burke revealed that the cancellation was down to financial reasons. “We went back and forth with them but ultimately we just couldn’t make the economics work.”
