Freeform’s Shadowhunters ran for three seasons from 2016 to 2019. Though the show was canceled and forced to wrap up its story in a special finale, the show had a dedicated fanbase and viewers thoroughly enjoyed the supernatural show. Shadowhunters followed Clary Fray, played by Katherine McNamara, as she is thrown into a world of angels and monsters. With the help of her friends, Clary fights demons and her own father as he attempts to take over the world.
Since the show’s end, the cast has been very busy. They have jumped from project to project, and many have actually come back together to work with each other again. Harry Shum Jr. has been busy making movies, while McNamara is about to be the lead in another show. Here’s everything the cast of Shadowhunters have been doing since the show ended.
8 Isaiah Mustafa Broke His Hand Filming It: Chapter Two
Isaiah Mustafa waited a long time for an opportunity like It: Chapter Two. Ever since his iconic Old Spice campaign in 2010, Mustafa struggled to be taken seriously in the acting business. Shadowhunters was a welcome change as the actor was able to play the parental figure Luke Garroway.
Since his time on the Freeform show, Mustafa landed the lead role in the second installment of the It franchise, It: Chapter Two. Mustafa actually broke his hand while filming! “I did that [chair-slamming] so many times, and they kept bringing chairs… I don’t know what I did, but it kicked back on me or something.”

In Shadowhunters, Luke Baines played the second version of Jonathan Morgenstern. Since Shadowhunters, Baines has had brief roles in the shows The Mandalorian and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and will be in the upcoming projects Bunker and No Tears In Hell.

Katherine McNamara, his television sister on Shadowhunters, also joined the cast.
