"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," said showrunner and executive producer Joe Pokaski. "When Olivia and Aubrey read for the roles, these characters leapt off the page. We're so excited to see what these talented young actors bring to the Marvel Universe."

"Marvel's Cloak & Dagger" is described as a coming-of-age series, which is based on the beloved Marvel characters. Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson come from starkly different backgrounds, each growing up with a secret they never dared to share with another soul.

Tandy Bowen is a privileged little girl, whose life is changed after her family was destroyed by a disastrous storm. Now in her late teens, an unexpected encounter with a boy named Tyrone sparks a life changing event.
