Marvel's Cloak And Dagger TV Series Greenlit At Freeform

Freeform has greenlit Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger, a new romantic superhero series based on the Marvel Comics heroes of the same name.
The series will follow runaway teen heroes Tyrone Johnson, a.k.a. Cloak, and Tandy Bowen, a.k.a. Dagger. Created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan, the crime-fighting duo have fought alongside Marvel icons like the X-Men and Spider-Man in their adventures.
In their comic book origins, Cloak and Dagger come from very different social backgrounds, but meet as runaways in New York City. They are then subjected to scientific experimentation by NYC criminal organizations and end up with superpowers. Dagger can create light daggers and has some healing capabilities, while Cloak is connected to a darkness dimension that gives him powers of intangibility and teleportation, coupled with a constant hunger for light.
----------------------------------
Bummer. Was hoping this series would go to Netflix. Needs to be a darker/grittier show than I see it being on Freeform, formerly ABC Family.
Another great creation of comic great Bill Mantlo. I enjoyed their appearances back in the old Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man issues, their own series, and several other series.
