First announced way back at the 2011 SDCC, it’s now revealed that the Marvel young adult Cloak and Dagger TV series is set to debut in 2018.
THR reports on the Cloak and Dagger premiere as the series will be a part of ABC’s young adult-oriented Freeform network set for a Winter 2018 debut with showrunner Joe Pokaski currently rewriting his initial script.
Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger follows Tandy Bowen and Tyronne Johnson, two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened by and awakened to newly acquired super powers while falling in love. Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn that they are better together than apart–but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging.
Head of Marvel TV Jepeh Loeb also previously offered about the new Cloak and Dagger TV series: “We are thrilled to be able to explore another corner of the Marvel Universe with Cloak and Dagger. We want to thank Tandy and Tyrone’s fans everywhere who have been waiting for this exciting news.”
