Super best friends: Cloak & Dagger S2 now streaming

Having come to terms with their superpowers and how they work better together in Season 1, Tandy (Olivia Holt) and Ty (Aubrey Joseph) take a new approach to fighting evil in Season 2. They also discover how to strengthen their powers.

“Their relationship is complicated. They are curious about each other one second, and then the next they want nothing to do with each other. As the season goes on, they’ll recognise that they’re each other’s better halves. They are the answer to each other’s questions,” says Olivia. “What a cool thing to have, somebody who finally understands you and understands your journey and is okay with that and doesn’t judge you for it or want to make it harder for you. They seem to have a very, very special relationship.”

Aubrey adds that “they are so damaged. And when they finally meet each other, it changes who they are completely. They finally have someone they can trust, someone they can talk to, someone they can look to for advice. And it’s important for us to see that onscreen because we are so separated by skin colour and by social status. By so many things. That is the most beautiful part of their relationship to me.”

Fun fact: Tandy’s “light daggers” in Cloak & Dagger are physical props made of Lucite, which contain small, specialised lights sources.
