The cast and crew of Freeform’s highly anticipated new series Marvel's Cloak & Dagger attended the world premiere watch party at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, March 11, an event which marked Freeform and Marvel Television’s first presence at the popular festival. Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is the story of Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) – two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened by and awakened to newly discovered superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another.

The series is based on the beloved comic characters and is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios.
