Freeform

The supernatural drama was given a two-hour sendoff to tie up loose ends, but co-showrunner Todd Slavkin wished he had more time to flesh things out. For example, the gang’s quest to save Magnus from Edom would have been expanded into a “multi-episode journey”; Luke would have returned to the Institute as a Shadowhunter, teeing up “a whole shake-up”; Jonathan would have lived “much longer,” allowing him to raise more hell on earth; and the “perverse, sexualized relationship” between Jonathan and the Seelie Queen would have been stretched into a half-season arc.

Though Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt got to suit up one last time during a crossover with Marvel’s Runaways, they never got to live out executive producer Joe Pokaski’s plans for a third season of their own show. “Season 3 [would be] about Tandy and Tyrone running into danger and looking for trouble, instead of waiting for trouble to come to their front door,” Pokaski said.

The penultimate episode found Jessie, Garrett and Alex attempting to exorcise Malphas from Amy’s body. They failed, and by season’s end, Deb and Garrett both met bloody ends thanks to the Amy/Malphas hybrid. Though Garrett’s spirit eventually helped the survivors vanquish the demon, the stage was set for a second supernaturally scary season. “The approach of this series is that each series would be a different summer at the camp in a different era,” executive producer Adam Horowitz tells TVLine. “Very inspired by Fargo,” the show would’ve taken a page out of that anthology’s book.
