Appearing on Freeform, Cloak & Dagger follows the story of superheros Dagger, (Tandy Bowen) and Cloak, (Tyrone Johnson) as they deal with supervillains and the ups-and-downs of an interracial romance. Created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan in 1982, as a part of Peter Parker Spectacular Spider-Man, Dagger has the ability to emit lightening daggers while Cloak can literally “cloak” people in darkness.

“The characters of Tandy and Tyrone have always stood out to me ever since I first met them in the pages of Marvel Comics when I was a boy,” commented Joe Pokaski, executive producer and show runner, to Deadline. “When Olivia and Aubrey read for the roles, the characters leapt off the page. W’re so excited to see what these talented young actors bring to the Marvel Universe.”
