Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger won’t be returning for a third team-up. Freeform has canceled the series after two seasons.
The news comes shortly after Marvel announced a major leadership change, with film topper Kevin Fiege adding oversight of its TV division, among other units. Marvel’s head of TV Jeph Loeb, who developed Cloak & Dagger, is leaving the company and is expected to formally announce his departure before Thanksgiving.
The decision to cancel the series comes 5 months after season 2 wrapped. Ratings for the series were down year-over-year (as is common for pretty much every linear series) and options on the cast were expiring. Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Emma Lahana and Ally Maki starred in the drama which focused on two teenagers from very different backgrounds who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while growing closer together every day.
