Tony Hale has identified the only people who don’t love “Arrested Development”: Mr. and Mrs. Hale, his parents.
For Mother’s Day, Jimmy Kimmel had celebrity guests read real tweets from their mom. Here’s the one Hale read for the ABC late-night host: “Hey son, our new friends are Loving ‘Arrested Development. We still don’t get it.”
Happy Mother’s Day.
Kimmel asked Hale, who stopped by on Thursday to promote his new Disney+ series “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” if that was really real.
“My parents think ‘Arrested’ is dumb. To this day, they think it’s a stupid show,” Hale responded. “I’m not kidding. The only episode they thought was funny was when Martin Short was on. [My dad] was like, ‘Well he’s funny. That guy’s funny.'”

It’s been nearly a week since we said goodbye to Jace and Clary (and they to each other), and fans are still trying to process how they feel about Shadowhunters’ open-ended conclusion.
The overall consensus seems to be that the finale felt slightly rushed, which is a fair criticism, since the show had to literally condense a season’s worth of storylines into a 2.5-hour event. But for the most part, it gave us everything we could have wanted, from an emotional “Malec” wedding to some long-overdue “Sizzy” action — all of which would have been explored in greater depth...

Freeform gave Shadowhunters a bittersweet sendoff on Monday, essentially condensing what would have been a fourth season into a single 2.5-hour event. And while we’re mostly satisfied with the conclusions reached by our favorite characters, we can’t help but consider how differently things would have played out if the TV gods had given this short-lived gem a little more time. (If you haven’t watched the finale yet, we suggest you turn back. Spoilers are coming!)

Shadowhunters took fans to hell and back (a few times) during Monday’s 2.5-hour series finale, which concluded with one last twist that was anything but mundane.
Before we get into the nitty gritty with co-showrunners Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, here’s an extremely abbreviated recap of the night’s events: After defeating Lilith and rescuing Malec from Edom (which they destroyed in the process), the Shadowhunters returned to New York for the impromptu “Malec” wedding, where Clary was informed that she’d be stripped of her powers (and her memory) if she defied the will of the angels and created any more runes.

Ready or not, here comes the final hunt. Freeform’s Shadowhunters wraps its three-season run next Monday (8/7c) with a 2.5-hour event that will pit Clary & Co. against their most powerful enemy yet.
And if tonight’s episode was any indication of what’s in store, we’re in for a hell of a ride. A quick recap: Not only did Magnus propose to Alec (d’aww!), but Jace also broke Clary’s bond to her bother (yay!) and the good ‘ship “Sizzy” came about this close to its first kiss. In less celebratory news, Episode 21 episode also witnessed the death of Jordan (R.

Monday’s midseason premiere of Shadowhunters finally put Clary face-to-face with her estranged demonic brother, and it went… well, about as smoothly as any family reunion on this show.
Though Clary was relieved to learn that she survived the explosion, she was troubled to discover that Lilith transported her and Jonathan — as well as the entire apartment — to Siberia, where they discovered (whilst choking on their own blood) that Lilith’s demonic rune has bound them to one another forever.
Elsewhere, Jace became increasingly reckless as a result of his guilt, forcing Alec to intervene and set him straight; Maia...

Freeform has set Monday, February 25 for the midseason return of the third and final season of its fantasy drama series Shadowhunters.
The remainder of Season 3 picks up with everyone trying to move on as they deal with the loss of Clary. Per Freeform’s official description: Unbeknownst to them, the Shadowhunters face a new level of evil that they can’t even imagine with the arrival of Jonathan Morgenstern (Luke Baines), the true form of Clary’s brother.
With the loss of Clary after Lilith’s apartment exploded, Alec, Isabelle and Jace try to come to terms with what has happened. Glad to have their brother back, Alec and Isabelle are still worried about Jace, who is taking the actions of The Owl very hard. Magnus is also mourning the loss of his magic and finds himself in a new position—having to rely on others for help.

“When a hero falls, guilt cuts deep.” That haunting tagline accompanies a new teaser for the final episodes of Freeform’s Shadowhunters, which returns for the second half of its third season on Monday, Feb. 25.
The “hero” in question is Katherine McNamara’s Clary, who was blown to bits — along with Lilith and Jonathan — in the final moments of the drama’s Season 3A finale earlier this year. And the “guilt” apparently belongs to Jace, who angrily declares, “If it wasn’t for me, Clary would still be alive.” (True or not, there’s no reason to take your anger out on a poor,...

Some Shadowhunters fans got a lot more than they bargained for this week when they clicked into an online auction (hosted by 403 Auction) for props from the outgoing drama’s set. While many of the items up for bid were either generic or familiar — including some of Alec’s bows and several keepsakes from episodes past — others were tied to storylines that have yet to air, spoiling some of the big twists that remain in the series’ final run.

As the #SaveShadowhunters campaign rolls on, the showrunner and cast of Shadowhunters are tending to business as usual and have filmed the final episodes of the Freeform series based on fantasy novels Mortal Instruments — and they took to social media to document their last hurrah.
Showrunner Todd Slavkin and cast members Katherine McNamara, Emeraude Toubia, Matthew Daddario, Harry Shum Jr., Luke Baines, and Nicola Correia-Damunde flooded Twitter and Instagram with behind-the-scenes photos and gratitude to their fans and each other on the final days on the set of the series. But it’s McNamara and Slavkin who took the top prize for posting the most.
“Thank you for a wonderful 3 years of learning, laughing, and making memories with the #Shadowhunters family,” said McNamara in one of her many posts. “I leave with nothing but fondness. I shall return again soon! Hail and farewell!”

Shadowhunters is done at Freeform.
While we've known that news for a few weeks, there has been a lot of speculation about whether the series will have a closure-filled finale or if there will be threads left dangling.
Thankfully, executive producer Todd Slavkin hit up Twitter to respond to a fan who was concerned there was not enough time to end the series in a satisfying manner.
"It's not rushed. Not at all. It's beautiful. Thanks to the brilliant @ShadowhuntersWR if has to end like this, you all will be deeply satisfied," he shared, and even hashtagged the following:
"#malec #clace #sizzy #shadowhunters."
Because the cancellation came so late in the game, and Freeform only ordering a two-hour wrap up for the series, it makes sense that fans were worried about the lack of time to process the resolution.

Freeform has canceled supernatural drama series “Shadowhunters.” The show will end with a special two-hour final at the close of the upcoming second half of season three.
“We are very proud of ‘Shadowhunters,’ a series that broke new ground in the genre world and became a fan favorite,” the network said in a statement. “However, along with our partners at Constantin, we reached the very difficult decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. But as big supporters and fans ourselves, Freeform insisted on and championed the filming of a special two-part finale that would give devoted fans a proper ending. The twelve episodes will air in spring of 2019. We want to thank our talented creators, producers, cast and crew along with our colleagues at Constantin for their hard work and dedication and to Cassie Clare for her incredible book series. We look forward to the final chapter of this breakthrough drama.

Freeform is closing the doors of the New York Institute earlier than expected: Shadowhunters won’t return for a fourth season, TVLine has learned.
The supernatural drama will wrap things up in the spring of 2019 with a 12-episode run — aka Season 3B, titled Shadowhunters: The Final Hunt — that will include a two-hour series finale event.
Season to date, Shadowhunters is averaging barely 400,000 total weekly viewers, down sharply from Season 2 and ranking fifth ranking all current Freeform programs.

Freeform’s fantasy drama series Shadowhuners will be ending after its current third season. While the cable network has opted not to pick up a fourth season, it will give fans closure, ordering two extra episodes that will wrap the story. The expanded 12-episode final season, dubbed Shadowhunters: The Final Hunt, is set to air in spring 2019.
Freeform originally ordered a 10-episode third season, later ordering 10 back episodes. Season 3A wrapped its run May 15. While there had been no premiere date for Season 3B but those episodes are already in the can, so the only way to get a proper ending for the series was for Freeform to greenlight a finale.
That way the series also will cover all Mortal Instruments books, on which it is based. The current third season goes over books 4 and 5; the two-hour finale will be based on the sixth and final novel in the series.
