First Trailer Debuts For Marvel's CLOAK & DAGGER Series and It Looks Great!
Marvel and Freeform has released the first trailer for their new teen drama series Cloak & Dagger and I really like what I'm seeing. I don't really watch any shows on Freeform so I wasn't sure what to expect from the series when it was first announced, but this trailer sold me on it! It looks like the kind of show that I'd enjoy watching.
The series is a coming-of-age drama that focuses on the characters Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph), "the eponymous Cloak and Dagger, as they learn to use their newly-acquired superpowers while also falling in love with each other. Cloak is capable of teleportation through the “dimension of darkness” but can also leave foes stranded in the other world as well. Dagger has the ability to create light daggers with her mind, which she can control as well. Her daggers are capable of both draining life from their targets, or healing them."
Joe Pokaski (Underground, Heroes) is the showrunner and executive producer on the series, and Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Luke Cage, Marvel’s Iron Fist), Marvel’s Head of Television is also producing the series. Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball) directed the first episode.
The series also stars Andrea Roth (Rescue Me, Blue Bloods), Gloria Reuben (ER, Mr. Robot), Miles Mussenden (Bloodline, Queen Sugar), Carl Lundstedt (Grey’s Anatomy, Conviction), James Saito (Life of Pi, The Devil’s Advocate), and J.D. Evermore (True Detective, The Walking Dead).
The first season of Cloak & Dagger will consist of 10 one-hour episodes and the are slated to debut early 2018.
