Marvel's CLOAK AND DAGGER Becomes a Live-Action TV Series
Freeform is venturing into the Marvel universe. The younger-skewing ABC-owned network has greenlit Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger with a straight-to-series order, Variety has exclusively learned.
Described as a superhero love story, Cloak and Dagger is based on the titular comic book duo (also known as Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson) who have appeared in Marvel Comics classics, including Spiderman and X-Men stories.
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.
No writer has been attached to the series, but the search is currently underway. Marvel Studios and ABC Signature Studios will co-produce.
