"Cloak & Dagger" & "New Warriors" Coming to Freeform
Marvel has announced their first comedic television series in Marvel's New Warriors. Airing some time in 2018, Freeform has put in an order for ten 30-minute episodes. It's about six young people with powers living & working together. If your thinking Real World or Friends with super powers you're probably not that far off. The only other real details are their powers will be on the other side of the spectrum of skillsets you see from The Avengers, & the announcement of first team member Squirrel Girl. Yes, everyone's fan-favorite the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl will unleash her squirrel powers off the pages of Marvel comics into live-action. This was hot off the announcement having ten episodes of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger for season one also, coming sometime next year to Freeform. This one is described as an interracial love story aimed at young adults. While Olivia Holt's Tandy Bowen (Dagger) can emit light daggers while love interest Aubrey Joseph's Tyrone Johnson (Cloak) can engulf others in darkness & in the comics can use this as a means of teleportation. These series will be co-produced by ABC Signature Studios & Marvel Television. Jeph Loeb & Jim Chory of Marvel's The Punisher & Marvel's The Defenders will serve as executive producers. I've definitely got my eyes on these & will bring you more as it unfolds.
