Shadowhunters Season 4 in 2026? The Rumors That Will Make Fans Furious — And the Truth

Why The Show Can’t Just “Come Back”

You might be wondering, “If the fans want it so bad, why don’t they just make it?”

It isn’t about popularity; it is about a boring business deal that fell apart.

• The Money Problem: When the show was airing, it was expensive to make (special effects for demons aren’t cheap).

• The Netflix Factor: A production company called Constantin Film made the show, and Netflix paid a huge chunk of the bills in exchange for airing it internationally.

• The Split: In 2018, that deal between Constantin and Netflix ended. Without Netflix’s money, the network (Freeform) couldn’t afford to pay for the show by themselves.

Unless a streamer decides to burn millions of dollars to buy the rights back and rebuild the sets from scratch (which were destroyed years ago), the show remains frozen in time.
