Marvel's 'Cloak & Dagger' Adds Showrunner, but Gets Delayed
Marvel TV have set up Cloak & Dagger at Freeform (previously ABC Family), news that was confirmed earlier in the year. But the straight-to-series order went quiet for a long time until now. The news is good and bad.
THR are reporting that the series has been delayed until Winter 2018. That's quite a wait ahead. To sooth the pain, the project has got its showrunner, in Joe Pokaski, who is currently rewriting his initial script for the series.
Polaski has a history working on Daredevil as well as NBC's Heroes. He is currently an executive producer on WGN's Underground.
Cloak & Dagger, meanwhile, is the story of a crime-fighting teen duo who meet as runaways and gain powers after being experimented on. One can create light daggers and heal allies while the other can teleport.
“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.”
