Freeform's Shadowhunters has taken LGBT representation into new dimensions, with the relationship between ancient warlock Magnus Bane (Harry Shum Jr.) and his demon-stalking love interest, Alec (Matthew Daddario).

The actors were on hand to accept Shadowhunters' Outstanding Drama Series honor at the GLAAD Media Awards, when Shum pointed out just how unique their romance is.

“I play an openly proud bisexual warlock and a person of color that’s in a relationship with a recently out gay shadowhunter who hunts demons for a living," Shum remarked. "I don’t think that this combination has ever existed on TV."

Daddario praised Freeform and parent company Disney for "committing themselves to portraying characters of every kind and every sexuality in order to create a better world."

Watch Shum and Daddario delve deeper into their characters’ relationship in the exclusive NewNowNext interview below.

The 28th Annual GLAAD Media Awards will air on Logo on Thursday, April 6 at 10/9c.
