Freeform, the channel formerly known as ABC Family, has ordered a straight-to-series run for
Cloak and Dagger, based on the Marvel Comics characters created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan. Cloak is Tyrone Johnson, while Dagger is Tandy Bowen; in the comics, both were teenage runaways who were captured by the organized crime syndicate known as the Maggia, and are used as test subjects and injected with synthetic heroin, which imbues them with abilities related to light and darkness. Calling themselves Cloak and Dagger, they act as vigilantes, declaring war on drug crime, while occasionally teaming up with other superheroes like Spider-Man.
However, since the series is on the Freeform channel, it's skewed to a younger audience, as the official synopsis shows:
This exciting new series is an adaptation of the beloved Marvel characters aimed squarely at young adults. This live-action interracial romance follows Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, 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.
It's currently unknown if the series will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
