Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and created for ABC's Freeform, Cloak & Dagger is the thrilling story of two teenagers – Tyrone Johnson/ Cloak (Aubrey Joseph) and Tandy Bowen/ Dagger (Olivia Holt) – who, during a shared childhood tragedy, acquired superpowers, which allows them access into people's fear and desires, respectively.
Scheduled to air on August 2, 8 pm EST, the season 1 finale will be all fireworks as the kids realise, for the first time, that the best thing about their powers is that they can use them to help New Orleans. Showrunner Joe Pokaski told Entertainment Weekly that it was necessary to break Tandy and Tyrone in the penultimate episode.
He said that every story that most people have loved follows a pattern, in which the heroes get knocked out before they can rise to the occasion and save the day.
"Particularly Tandy and Tyrone as they're lifting themselves up, we thought it would be really interesting to knock them down in [episode] 9 and see how they react in [episode] 10. The finale in the first season is really the completion of their call to action," Pokaski elaborated.
What's more interesting you ask? The finale will feature an end credits scene Marvel style, in which Detective Brigid O'Reily's (Emma Lahana) Mayhem may or may not be introduced. However, word is that the finale will see a glimpse of Season 2 protagonist.
In other news, here's what to expect from Season 2. Mayhem will cause mayhem. Interestingly, there may be another nemesis waiting on the kids – Mister Jip. Elaborating on it Pokaski suggested that viewers watch a particular scene carefully.
"But you should go back and look carefully at the scene where Tyrone goes into Kev's dream and [sees] that kid with the backpack's fears. I have a feeling if we're lucky enough to have a season two, a lot your favourites will be making appearances," the portal quoted him as saying.
To air in Spring 2019, Season 2 of the show will more likely explore Tyrone and Tandy's relationship as potential lovers. Even though at the moment the possibility of them dating appears bleak given they are hung up on Evita and Liam, respectively. But, the comics have them madly in love. So, let's hope for the best.
