Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger Gets a New Teaser Trailer

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 and awakened to newly acquired superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another. Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart, but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging. The series is based on the beloved comic characters and is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios.

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger stars Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Andrea Roth, Gloria Reuben, Miles Mussenden, Carl Lundstedt, Emma Lahana, Jaime Zevallos, and J.D. Evermore.

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger premieres on THURSDAY, JUNE 7 (8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. EDT), with a two-hour event on Freeform.

Mark Isham to Score Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger

The upcoming series Cloak and Dagger, which will air on Freeform, is based on the Marvel Comic characters of the same name. The series follows the story of two teenagers from very different backgrounds who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while falling in love.

It has been announced that Oscar and Grammy winner Mark Isham will score the series. Isham has created critically acclaimed scores for over 100 films, including Crash, 42, Nell, and A River Runs Through It, for which he received a Best Original Score Oscar nomination.

In 2013, Isham was recognized with the Distinguished Film Composer Award at the inaugural Middleburg Film Festival along with a concert by the Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra of his memorable scores. His self-titled album, Mark Isham, earned him a Grammy Award. Mark Isham’s accolades also include an Emmy award, a Golden Globe nomination and the Henry Mancini award for Career Achievement from ASCAP. Isham currently scores John Ridley’s critically acclaimed event series American Crime and the Emmy-nominated series Once Upon a Time, both for ABC. Isham’s recent films include the Ben Affleck action drama The Accountant and the upcoming film projects include Christopher Jenkins’ Duck Duck Goose, an adaptation of Lauren Kate’s #1 New York Times bestseller Fallen and Megan Leavy.
