It looks like we may be seeing a new show being added to Marvel’s ever growing television universe with the announcement of a new show featuring fan favorite characters, Cloak and Dagger.
Variety announced today that the new show has received ‘straight to series’ order for the Freeform (Formerly ABC Family) network, a channel aimed towards a younger audience as evidenced by the currently airing Shadowhunters series. The announcement also came with the following official synopsis for the show:
‘The live-action interracial romance follows the duo, two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while falling in love — Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart, but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging.’
Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger is described as a ‘Superhero Love Story’ and will revolve around Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, two teenagers with extraordinary powers. No writers or cast have been announced as of yet, but we can expect to see more in the near future.
