Where is the Cloak and Dagger Television Show?

ABC Family is expanding its line-up, but so far, Cloak and Dagger is not a part of it.

In October of 2010, we heard that ABC Family was developing a Cloak and Dagger show for the 2011-2012 season. We heard that since Disney owns Marvel Entertainment and ABC, that it was going to be easier for Marvel characters to get their own series on ABC channels.

ABC Family has been shooting pilots and picking pilots to become series lately. According to Deadline, "ABC Family is making its most aggressive expansion into original programming to date". Cloak and Dagger has not been one of them. Maybe in a future season Cloak and Dagger could get its own series on ABC Family, but for now the channel isn't going with it.

Deadline said this:

"I hear ABC Family has finalized its series order to drama pilot The Lying Game. Game joins recently greenlighed comedy series The Great State of Georgia and dramas The Nine Lives of Chloe King and Switched at Birth. Additionally, a fifth pilot, What Would Jane Do, remains in contention for a series pickup after ABC Family extended the options on the actors. This has been ABC Family's biggest development season with 6 pilot orders. With four and possibly even five of them going to series, ABC Family is making its most aggressive expansion into original programming to date."

I haven't heard anything about Cloak and Dagger, but I did hear about a Jessica Jones tv series as well as a new Hulk series.

no way should it be a kids show, and i personlly think everything marvel weather its on the big or small screen should be part of the MCU.

I would love a "Cloak And Dagger" TV show...But I'm sure they would ruin it..Especially if they try to make it kid friendly..

lol Cloak & Dagger? on ABC Fam? That's a very dark book.

I mean C&D would make a great show but I don't know if that particular station is such a great fit.

The really should do the "Power Pack" series theyve been talking about for 20 years. That would be perfect for ABC Family.

Cloak and Dagger, heroes known for taking on Neo Nazis and the worst dregs of society... Sounds like a kid show to me!

@ HellaGood: I think you mean 'Dagger'. And while I'd love to see C&D on TV, especally if they're part of the MMU. But I am worried that a lot of what made the book cool will be lost like the Doctor Strange connection, the fact the C&D are mutants, the narcotic backstories, etc... I'm also woried about how we'd see them realized. I wouldn't want Cloak running around, looking like a 'normal guy', well... EVER, much-less for 90-95% of each episode... that would suck! Still, I'm currious what they'd do with it, if it should happen.

@ HelaGood: It happens. I didn't figure you meant for the blonde girl to play a a large black man who's mutation & cloak make him a barely human shape that can tear dementional reality appart. Though it would make for some interesting casting :-)
@ TheWitness: LOL - yeah, 'like Smallville', that'd be awsome. Can't wait...

I'd love to see a Cloak and Dagger show on abc Family especially if it's going to be done in the style and soul of Nine Lives of Chloe King.

I also throw Holy Water on all those who are trashing abc Family because it is a wholesome channel. We need more good programming on television to enrich the young peoples mind and encourage them to contribute to our world in a positive way instead of dumbing them down with godless and immoral TV programming.

Furthermore, abc Family has programming that appeals to all ages, children, teens and adults. One of the best recent programs was the show on cyberbulling. I hate that Chloe King got cancelled.

I also agree that Kherington Payne should be cast as Dagger!
