A few years ago, it was said that the Marvel comic book series Cloak and Dagger would be in development for ABC Family. It, sadly, didn’t happen… now, Variety has news that Freeform (the new name for ABC Family) has a Cloak and Dagger series in development.
Marvel Studios and ABC Signature Studios will co-produce. Right now, Variety is reporting no writers as attached. Here’s how they describe it:
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.
Many fans had wondered when Freeform and Marvel would do something together, and now we apparently have an answer!
