There’s been little news on the Cloak and Dagger front lately. The series was picked up for a full season on Freeform, with the network unveiling a trailer of the pilot, and we’ve learned that filming would begin soon to finish the rest of the episodes.

Now series star Aubrey Joseph revealed a couple of behind the scenes photos from the series to get fans jazzed for the show.
Joseph will be playing Tyrone Johnson aka Cloak. The shot looks like what was scene in the pilot, with Tyrone on a rooftop shrouded in his, ahem, cloak.
Roxxon also might feature prominently in the series if that trailer is any indication. The nefarious organization with shady dealings has been mentioned and used in shows like Agent Carter and Daredevil and movies like the Avengers and the Iron Man series.
If Freeform decides to lean less into the drug abuse angle with their main characters, Roxxon could be used as a means for giving the kids their powers, altering their origin stories a bit. Of course we won’t know more until Freeform and Marvel Television reveal more details about Cloak and Dagger.
It is a coming-of-age series based on the beloved Marvel characters. Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) come from starkly different backgrounds, each growing up with a secret they never dared share with another soul.
Once a privileged little girl, Tandy Bowen watched as her family was destroyed by a disastrous storm that uprooted her life. Now in her late teens, an unexpected encounter with a boy named Tyrone sparks a life changing event.
Young Tyrone Johnson wanted nothing more than to prove he was fearless. But when everything he held close was taken away, life taught Tyrone to be afraid. Now older and more sheltered, Tyrone closes himself off. But when he meets a girl named Tandy his life changes forever.
The cast also includes Andrea Roth (Blue Bloods) as Melissa Bowen, Tandy’s mom; Gloria Reuben (ER) as Tyrone’s mother, Adina Johnson; Miles Mussenden (Bloodline) as Tyrone’s father, Michael Johnson; Carl Lundstedt (Grey’s Anatomy) as Liam, Tandy’s partner in crime; James Saito (Life of Pi) as Dr. Bernard Sanjo, and J.D. Evermore (The Walking Dead) as Detective Connors.
