If you’ve ever been drawn into the hidden world of demon-hunters and otherworldly bloodlines, then the series Shadowhunters is right up your alley, and there’s never been a more perfect moment to celebrate: German Film & Comic Con at Messe Dortmund on December 6-7, 2025 will bring together the stars of the show, Kat McNamara and Dominic Sherwood, for the full fan experience. From photo-ops and selfies to autograph sessions and live panels, this is your chance to meet the actors who brought Clary and Jace to life and dive back into the world of the Shadowhunters.
Origins & the Book Link
The series is an adaptation of the bestselling young-adult novel series The Mortal Instruments by author Cassandra Clare.
The premise: ordinary teen Clary discovers she belongs to a world of Shadowhunters, humans with angelic heritage who fight demons, alongside Downworlders like vampires, werewolves and warlocks. The show takes that core concept and expands it into a modern-fantasy setting with layered characters and high stakes.
The show is sometimes titled Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments, which explicitly links it back to the original novels.
Series Run: When It Aired & How It Migrated to Streaming
The series premiered in the US on the network Freeform (formerly ABC Family) on January 12, 2016.
It ran for three seasons, and though it was cancelled in June 2018, Freeform ordered extra episodes so the story could properly conclude, with the final episode airing May 6, 2019.
Internationally, streaming changed the game: the show was picked up globally (outside the US) by Netflix, meaning fans in Europe, including Germany, could binge the full show.
Spotlight: Clary Fairchild & Jace Herondale
🔹️ Clary Fairchild, well, Clairy Fray, starts off as a regular young woman, until on her 18th birthday she realises her life is anything but ordinary. She finds she’s a Shadowhunter and must embrace a hidden identity and destiny.
In the TV adaptation she’s portrayed by Kat McNamara.
🔹️ Jace Herondale (in the show initially Jace Wayland) is a skilled, headstrong Shadowhunter whose path crosses with Clary’s in dramatic fashion. He becomes her partner in mission and more.
He is portrayed by Dominic Sherwood.
Their arc, from discovery to fight, from hidden worlds to love and sacrifice, is one of the emotional cores of the series.
Why Fans Still Talk About It
Even though the show ended years ago, the fandom remains active, and here’s why:
🔹️ The show blends urban modern life, New York-style setting, with supernatural fantasy, always a strong combo.
🔹️ The main characters, Clary and Jace, are layered: identity, belonging, destiny, love, these hit deeper than just monsters and battles.
🔹️ For book-fans of The Mortal Instruments, the adaptation offered familiar elements along with new twists, perfect for discussion, cosplay, re-watching.
🔹️ Access via Netflix outside the US made the show globally reachable, fueling international fandoms and meet-ups. Yep, comic conventions (comic cons).
🔹️ Iconic fan moments include Clary discovering her powers, Jace’s dramatic entrances, and their unforgettable duo scenes that made the show memorable.
