Development

On July 20, 2018, Freeform renewed the series for a 10-episode second season.[11]

Writing

The majority of the writers for the first season return for the second.[12] During the first season, showrunner Joe Pokaski noted the final episode would leave "some stuff open, intentionally" to be addressed in the second season, though its post-credit scene was "tremendously definitive" and would "help define some of the" direction for the second season;[13] this scene establishes Brigid O'Reilly as a threat to the heroes,[14] while the announcement trailer for the second season teased the inclusion of her comics alter ego Mayhem.[15] Pokaski compared the character to the villain Killmonger from Marvel's Black Panther (2018) in that he believed she would be a villain that the audience could relate to, describing her as "kind of what we wish we all were if we didn’t face consequences". He added that a lot of the development that the character has in the first season was written as an origin story for the character to become a villain in the second season.[16] He further described her as "one of the first big scary things" that Tandy and Tyrone face in the second season.[14]

The first season finale also introduces Tyrone's ability to absorb people into his cloak, and Pokaski said that Tyrone is "a doorway to something" and "we’re going to step into that doorway a little more" in the second season. Pokaski enjoyed being able to unfold the characters' powers like this so they could be tied to an emotions. Pokaski said the season would explore his favorite element of superhero stories: people balancing their personal life with their responsibility as a hero. He said it would also show how a person can become a vigilante in a way that he hoped would be unique from other installments in the superhero genre. The season also sees the living arrangements of Tandy and Tyrone reversed from the first, with Tyrone now on the run from the police and living in the abandoned church that Tandy had been living in, until she moved back in with her mother at the end of the first season. Pokaski felt this would allow them to explore a side of Tandy that she herself has neglected, as well as showing who Tyrone is without the "brave face" he has been putting on.[14]

Speaking to Mina's condition after turning into a terror in the first season finale, Pokaski said she reverted to normal with the others when the energy was released, but the season would pick up with her as "someone who felt, as a woman, violated by this thing and as a scientist, who might be able to find some answers." Mina would also serve as a conduit for the series to explore the themes of women's rights and issues, while "continuing to drive the conversation forward about race in America".[12] The season will also continue to explore vodun and the "Divine Pairing" mythology established in the first season, with Pokaski saying, "We want to respectfully continue to use Vodun as a mirror upon which we show not only our moral, but our psychological abstracts of our characters."[17]

Casting

Main cast members Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Gloria Reuben, Andrea Roth, Miles Mussenden, and Emma Lahana return in the season as Tandy Bowen / Dagger, Tyrone Johnson / Cloak, Adina Johnson, Melissa Bowen, Otis Johnson, and Brigid O'Reilly, respectively.[4][5] Season two added Brooklyn McLinn, Dilshad Vadsaria and Cecilia Leal to the cast as Andre Deschaine, Lia Dewan and Mikayla Bell respectively.[7]

Filming

Filming began in New Orleans by October 18, 2018.[4][18][19]

Release

The season is scheduled to premiere on Freeform April 4, 2019, with its first two episodes,[2] and will consist of 10 episodes.[11]
