Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is the story of Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) – two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened by and awakened to newly-discovered superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another.

Following the world premiere, series stars Holt and Joseph along with executive producer and showrunner Joe Pokaski, director Gina Prince-Bythewood, and executive producer and Marvel’s Head of Television Jeph Loeb, will take the stage for a discussion about creating “Cloak” and “Dagger” – a pair of young adults navigating life’s issues of relationships, loss and race, and forming their own identities.

The highly-anticipated new series premieres on June 7 at 8:00 p.m. EDT with a two-hour event on Freeform. Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is based on the beloved comic characters and is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios.
