Marvel's Cloak And Dagger TV Series Greenlit At Freeform

Like so many TV networks, Freeform is jumping in head first into the world or universe of comic book superheroes with a live-action take on Marvel's Cloak and Dagger.

Described as a love story, the live-action series 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."

The project is in its early stages of development with no writer, showrunner, and cast currently attached to it despite having been given a straight-to-series order by Freeform.

"We are thrilled to be able to explore another corner of the Marvel Universe with Cloak and Dagger," said Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "We want to thank Tandy and Tyrone's fans everywhere who have been waiting for this exciting news."

As part of the ABC/Marvel family, it was only a matter of time until Freeform decided to jump on the superhero bandwagon, especially because of their current 14-34 target audience.
