Shadowhunters is an American supernatural drama television series.
In December 2015, Netflix acquired global rights to Shadowhunters, excluding the U.S., making the series available as an original series a day after the U.S. premiere.
Shadowhunters follows Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara), who finds out on her birthday that she is not who she thinks she is but rather comes from a long line of Shadowhunters, human–angel hybrids who hunt down demons.
The series is set in an urban and contemporary New York City.
The show received a straight-to-series order on March 30, 2015, and premiered on January 12, 2016 on Freeform.
