Freeform Officially Renews CLOAK & DAGGER For A Second Season; Will Detective O'Reilly Transform Into Mayhem?
The first season of Freeform and Marvel's Cloak & Dagger is nearly over, and now the network has officially renewed the superhero drama for a second season and released an intruiging teaser for Season 2.
There are two episodes left in the first season of Marvel and Freeform's Cloak & Dagger, and during the show's panel at SDCC, it was officially announced that the show will receive a second season and a brief teaser accompanied the announcement.
Obviously, there was no footage in the teaser, but it did feature a line saying, "Season 2 will be mayhem," and there were claw marks that revealed a hazy green view of the city.
On its own, that line may just seem like a description to catch people's interest, but if you're familiar with the lore of Cloak & Dagger, then you know Detective O'Reilly dies in the comics and is reborn as the vengeance-seeking vigilante Mayhem. And one of her abilities is the ability to exude a green gas.
Clearly, this isn't confirmation that Emma Lahana's character will undergo a radical transformation, but the promo for episode 9 did see O'Reilly in danger and a recent death on the show gives her a good reason to seek revenge. Plus, the showrunner did tease more fantastical elements for Season 2
Either way, check out the teaser and artwork for Season 2, as well as a sneak peek for the final two episodes that features some nice nods to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
