It might not have quite the interconnectivity of the upcoming Disney+ Marvel shows, but Runaways is staging its own crossover. The show's cast has announced a crossover episode with fellow Marvel series Cloak & Dagger, as announced in the video below.
The third season of Runaways will be on screens – in the States, at least, we always seem to have to wait for it to hit these shores – via Hulu from 13 December. The story finds the young heroes frantically searching for their captured friends Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes and Karolina Dean. The kids go head-to-head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie — or, more accurately, targeted the child she’s carrying. Nico Minoru draws them all into a dark realm where its ruler Morgan le Fay, played by Elizabeth Hurley, is much more nefarious than anyone the kids have yet to face.
Meanwhile, Cloak & Dagger's second season saw that show's leads on a bus out of New Orleans, looking to help people in other parts of the country. And it sounds like they'll be stopping in Los Angeles... "It’s so fun being able to do something that revels in the Mighty Marvel Manner! Having these young heroes crossover allows fans of both shows to see the adventure everyone has been waiting for and we’ve only hinted at,” said Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb in a statement.
This makes sense for Disney, which owns both Freeform (where Cloak & Dagger airs) and streaming service Hulu. In the UK, they're shown on Amazon Prime (Cloak & Dagger) and Syfy UK (Runaways), but given that this is only happening on one show, it should still work. At least Bojack Horseman's Mr. Peanutbutter will be happy.
