Your Complete Guide To Every Marvel TV Show Currently In The Works

Cloak And Dagger

Release info: Winter 2018, Freeform.

Cast and crew: Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph will star as the titular twosome, Tandy Bowen/Dagger and Tyrone Johnson/Cloak, while Andrea Roth, Gloria Reuben, James Saito and J.D. Evermore will appear in supporting roles. Joe Pokaski will serve as showrunner, and he definitely has superhero pedigree, as he previously worked on Heroes and Daredevil. 

What to expect: Cloak and Dagger are one of Marvel’s most enduring couples, so expect this series to be a full-on superhero romance. It’s the usual story – boy who grew up on the streets gains dark powers and meets privileged girl with light powers.

Why you should be excited: Cloak and Dagger will appeal to a fresh audience who are perhaps not usually into superheroes – the teen romance crowd – but comic book aficionados will likely find much to enjoy as well.

Damage Control

Release info: TBA, ABC.

Cast and crew: No cast have been contracted as yet, but the last we heard Ben Karlin (The Colbert Report) was the showrunner of this half-hour sitcom set in the MCU.

What to expect: Damage Control will follow the tough but hilarious lives of the team of workers who have to clear up the streets of New York after Marvel’s superheroes have trashed them during their battles. Since DC’s similarly-conceived Powerless got off the ground, news has been quiet about this show, but it hasn’t been officially cancelled just yet, so we have to assume it’s still in the works.

Why you should be excited: If it ever actually materializes, Damage Control should be a unique, subversive slant on the familiar Marvel Cinematic Universe.
