SDCC 2018: ‘Cloak & Dagger’ Renewed for Season 2
Cloak & Dagger is coming back for season 2, FreeForm announced during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Cast members Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Ally Maki and Emma Lahana were all in attendance to discuss the show’s first season, which is currently airing on FreeForm. The network announced the renewal with a video that teased the “mayhem” to come in season 2. Check that out below!
Cloak & Dagger has been a resounding success for Freeform with its series premiere becoming the biggest series launch in Freeform’s past two years, clocking in with 7.3 million views across both linear and digital platforms.
The series follows Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt as Tyrone Johnson and Tandy Bowen (aka the future Cloak & Dagger superheroes), two teenagers from very different backgrounds who develop superpowers that are somehow linked to each other. According to the series synopsis, “the only constant in their lives is danger and each other.”
In addition to Joseph and Holt, Cloak & Dagger stars Andrea Roth, Carl Lunstedt, Emma Lahana, Gloria Reuben, Jamie Zevallos, J.D. Evermore, and Miles Mussenden. Hereos’ Joe Pokask serves as series showrunner and executive producer in addition to Marvel Head of Television Jeph Loeb.
Cloak & Dagger joins ABC’s Agents of Shield, Netflix’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Punisher, The Defenders, and Hulu’s The Runaways in the Marvel television universe.
Cloak & Dagger airs Thursdays at 8 pm EST on Freeform!
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
