Rueben's Ramblings

The two-hour debut of Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger will debut on Freeform on June 7 at 8 PM.

The drama focuses on Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt from Kickin’ It) and Tyrone Johnson (relative newcomer 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 cast includes Andrea Roth (Rescue Me), Gloria Reuben (ER), Miles Mussenden (Army Wives), James Saito (Eli Stone) and J.D. Evermore (Rectify).
