Shadowhunters

A film and a series that both start from the same book and then have nothing to do with each other.

Where to start with Shadowhunters

Two adaptations of the same books, made three years apart, with no connection between them. Both begin with the first novel, so the film is not a prologue to the series, it is the same opening told again.

  1. 1
    Shadowhunters, season 1 Shadowhunters

    Thirteen episodes covering roughly what the film covers, with a different cast and a different plan. Nothing before it is needed, and it is the version that actually got to tell a story.

  2. 2
    Shadowhunters, season 2 Shadowhunters

    Twenty episodes released in two halves of ten, and the point at which the series stops tracking the novels and goes its own way. Reading along book by book will mislead you from here.

  3. 3
    The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

    Optional and best kept for afterwards. It adapts the same first novel, its planned sequel was cancelled outright, and nothing follows from it.

Then what? The third season is the awkward one: ten episodes in spring 2018, then the show was cancelled during the gap, then twelve more nine months later written as an ending. The last two of those aired together as a two-hour finale, so watch them in one sitting. That is the whole story on screen; most of Cassandra Clare's other series have never been adapted.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
