Freeform Cancels Cloak & Dagger

Today Freeform announced Cloak & Dagger will not be returning for a third season.

Marvel’s TV division has undergone several shakeups of which Cloak & Dagger appears to be the latest victim.

Earlier this week it was confirmed long-time head of Marvel’s TV division Jeph Loeb would be leaving the company.

Showrunner Joe Pokaski took to Twitter to express his frustration over the cancellation but also his pride over what the show has accomplished:

So, yeah. There are parts of me that feel gut-punched or angry at larger corporate forces, but the biggest feeling I have in my heart right now, by far, is pride. I’m so fucking proud with what we got to do on #Cloakanddagger.

This time around, there was no reason to pull punches. We found a force of nature director like @gpbmadeit to help tell this coming of age story that put #Marvel characters and situations on the screen that didn’t look like what we had seen before.

The only Marvel live-action television shows left outside of the upcoming Marvel Studios’ shows for Disney+ are Agents of SHIELD, set to air its final season in 2020, Runaways, which is airing its third season in December on Hulu, and Helstrom, currently in production to air on Hulu.
