It’s been a long hiatus, hasn’t it, Shadowhunters fans?
The return of all of our favorite Shadowhunters, Downworlders and Mundanes is just around the corner, and we’re just as eager as you are to find out if Clary (Katherine McNamara) is actually dead — yeah right — how Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) will be coping with the loss of his powers, and how this epic series will begin to wrap itself up as enter the final stretch. To help keep track of the madness to come, TV Guide has compiled everything we know about Season 3B so far!
It returns Monday, Feb. 25 at 8/7c on Freeform. We had to wait a while (OK, a lot longer than a while), but we finally have a date for the return of Shadowhunters Season 3. The show will be back on Mondays for the final 10 episodes of Season 3, and we’ll get an additional 2-hour series finale too.
Clary is still around… somehow. Though Clary seemed to meet her pretty nasty demise in the midseason finale last year, Katherine McNamara was obviously still filming for 3B and the 2-hour series finale. Whether she’s been blasted to another dimension or she’s a ghost/dream/hallucination, you can rest assured that Clary will be back. Executive producer Todd Slavkin told TV Guide that her story in 3B is “a really cool spin on the books,” so take that as you will.

The first episode back will be a bit of a downer. While we know Clary’s fate is probably not as bleak as it’s been made out to be, her friends from the Shadow World aren’t so lucky. Darren Swimmer called the first episode “emotional as hell” as Clary’s friends reflect back on her life and what she meant to them.
Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) will have to learn how to live without magic. While Magnus learning to live without his powers could provide some opportunities for positive growth, but it’s also going to be a tough struggle, particularly when it comes to his own mortality.
Malec could have some “heartbreaking” times ahead. Predictably, Magnus giving up his magic in order to save Alec’s (Matthew Daddario) Parabatai, Jace (Dominic Sherwood)is a pretty monumental thing to happen in and to their relationship. Slavkin has told us to expect the Malec relationship to evolve in a really “interesting, heartbreaking, beautiful way.”

We’ll finally get answers about the Mark of Cain. When the Seelie Queen burned that freaky symbol into Simon’s (Alberto Rosende) forehead last year, we had so many questions about what it was, why she did it and what it means for Simon. We’ll be getting a lot of those answers in the first three episodes of 3B, and we’ve been assured it will all make sense in time.
Luke Baines will take over the role of Jonathan Morgenstern. Before her loft exploded, Lillith ( Anna Hopkins) did achieve her goal of bringing her son, Jonathan, back to life. Gooey as he was, we did see that arm rise out of the casket and grab Clary. Seeing as he’s been “remade” though, he won’t look like Sebastien Verlac (Will Tudor), the form he took when we first met him. This time around, he’ll wear his true face, which will look a whole lot like Luke Baines.
