Shadowhunters' Harry Shum Jr. Reacts to Malec Possibly Moving in Together!

Are Magnus and Alec ready to take their relationship to the next level?

In the upcoming episode of Shadowhunters, Alec (Matthew Daddario) brings up the idea, revealing that he already spends “almost every night” at Magnus’ (Harry Shum Jr.) place anyways.

“I always err on the side of caution whenever that question gets brought up [Laughs] because when you don’t know a lot of things about someone, that can always cause some confusion in the beginning part [of a relationship],” Harry told ET about his initial reaction to the idea. “Like, ‘I thought that you would like this or that,’ so I don’t know. I think it’ll be interesting to see it unfold — especially with these characters. I think Magnus, who is set in his particular ways, is very different than Alex, so I think that’s going to be the fun in seeing what happens.”

“I think they’ve gone through a lot,” Harry added. “In the real world, it’s really only been a short period of time — I think about eight weeks or something like that — that they’ve actually been together. So it’s a whirlwind of being swept up and being really into each other, yet having your world in danger as well, so you kind of get closer in that sense. So I think for the next step, since they see each other all the time and instead of going back and forth, why not be in the same place and move in? So I think the fans will really enjoy that and the progression of that.”

Shadowhunters airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Freeform.
