The six new actors round out many of the supporting roles for the new series about the pair of runaway teens (no, not those Runaways), joining Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph who will play the title characters.
Gloria Reuben and Miles Mussenden were announced as playing the parents of Tyrone Johnson AKA Cloak. Andrea Roth will portray the mother of Tandy Bowen AKA Dagger.
Carl Lundstedt will play Tandy’s boyfriend, described as “a salt-of-the-earth townie,” and James Saito will play Dr. Bernard Sanjo, “an emotional cornerstone in Tyrone’s life.”
True Detective actor J.D. Evermore rounds out the cast playing Detective Connors, likely to be the antagonist of the series.
“It’s been important to us from day one that Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is about character and emotion above all,” showrunner Joe Pokaski said in the announcement. “We’re so excited to have assembled a murderers’ row of talented actors who can execute on that, and then some.”
Stay tuned for more details and production announcements as the series begins to film for its debut on Freeform.
Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is a coming-of-age series based on the beloved comic 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. The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios.
Joe Pokaski (“Underground,” “Heroes”) will serve as showrunner and executive producer, Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Luke Cage,” “Marvel’s Iron Fist”), Marvel’s Head of Television and Jim Chory (“Marvel’s Luke Cage,” “Marvel’s Iron Fist”)will also serve as executive producers. Gina Prince-Bythewood (“Love & Basketball”) is set to direct the first episode.
Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger is scheduled to hit Freeform sometime in Winter of 2018.
