The stars have aligned
with Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger for Freeform!
Former Disney Channel
star and Hollywood Records recording artist Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph ("The
Night Of," "Run All Night") will star as Tandy Bowen, a.k.a.
Dagger, and Tyrone Johnson, a.k.a. Cloak!
"The characters
of Tandy and Tyrone have always stood out to me ever since I first met them in
the pages of Marvel comics when I was a boy. When Olivia and Aubrey read for
the roles, these characters leapt off the page. We’re so excited to see
what these talented young actors bring to the Marvel Universe," said showrunner
and Executive Producer Joe Pokaski.
"Marvel is
delighted to have found our Cloak and Dagger. Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph
encompass the true essence of the characters and we are excited for the
audience to see them in these roles," said Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel
Television and Executive Producer.
Marvel’s Cloak &
Dagger is a coming-of-age series based on the beloved Marvel characters.
Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson come from starkly different backgrounds,
each growing up with a secret they never dared share with another soul.
Once a privileged
little girl, Tandy Bowen watched as her family was destroyed by a disastrous
storm that uprooted her life. Now in her late teens, an unexpected encounter
with a boy named Tyrone sparks a life changing event.
Young Tyrone Johnson
wanted nothing more than to prove he was fearless. But when everything he held
close was taken away, life taught Tyrone to be afraid. Now older and more
sheltered, Tyrone closes himself off. But when he meets a girl named Tandy his
life changes forever.
Marvel’s Cloak &
Dagger is produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios.
