Eight months after Roxxon Gulf's defeat, Tandy and Tyrone's lives have changed. Tandy has returned to taking ballet and has an improved relationship with her mother. They attend a domestic abuse support group where Tandy secretly threatens a fellow attendee's abusive spouse, to no avail. Tyrone lives in the abandoned church where he steals money and drugs from drug dealers to help O'Reilly, who is still recuperating from her traumatizing near death experience. She reprimands him, as he is only making things worse for New Orleans; with the gangs now becoming protective and may potentially go to war with one another. Tyrone keeps tabs on his parents and Evita, and meets with Tandy every week to watch movies. When Tandy discovers that Tyrone is conducting vigilante work, she is upset with him for not asking her for help. He later apologizes and the two head to the Rougarou Club to record a meeting with the gang leaders as evidence. However, someone attacks them, and Tandy and Tyrone enter the meeting to discover that everyone has been slaughtered. | |||||||

Taking Connors to Otis, they come up with a plan to retrieve a hidden file of criminal actions hidden by his uncle Senator Asa Henderson. Tyrone gains O'Reilly's help who is slowly regaining her self-confidence. Thinking Lia was also a victim, Tandy stages a break up with Tyrone, who unknowingly poses as her abusive boyfriend; offending him into leaving Tandy. Lia opens up about her ex-boyfriend forcing her to become a prostitute, and he now runs a drug ring. Tyrone follows Connors' instructions, but the file isn't there.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]On July 20, 2018, Freeform renewed the series for a 10-episode second season.[19]
Writing
[edit]The majority of the writers for the first season return for the second.[20] 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,[21] which established Brigid O'Reilly as a threat to the heroes,[22] while the announcement trailer for the second season teased the inclusion of her comics alter ego Mayhem.[23] Pokaski believed O'Reilly would be a relatable villain, 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.[24] He further described her as "one of the first big scary things" that Tandy and Tyrone face in the second season. 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", which would be explored further in the second season. Additionally, Tandy and Tyrone's living arrangements are reversed from the first season, allowing Tandy to explore a side of herself that she has neglected, and for Tyrone to figure out himself "without the facade that he's put up.[22]
The season would 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."[25]
Casting
[edit]Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Gloria Reuben, Andrea Roth, and Emma Lahana return to star in the season as Tandy Bowen / Dagger, Tyrone Johnson / Cloak, Adina Johnson, Melissa Bowen and Brigid O'Reilly, respectively.[12] J. D. Evermore also returns as James Connors.[13]
Former series regular Miles Mussenden recurs in the season as Otis Johnson, along with returning guest stars Noëlle Renée Bercy as Evita Fusilier and Angela Davis as Chantelle Fusilier.[14] Also returning from earlier in the series are former series regulars Jaime Zevallos and Carl Lundstedt as Francis Delgado and Liam Walsh, respectively.[16][17] Ally Maki also returns in her guest role as Mina Hess.[14]
Season two added Brooklyn McLinn, Dilshad Vadsaria and Cecilia Leal to the cast as Andre Deschaine, Lia Dewan and Mikayla Bell respectively.[15]
Filming
[edit]Filming began in New Orleans by October 18, 2018.[12][26][27]
Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins
[edit]Ben Urich, who appears in Daredevil portrayed by Vondie Curtis-Hall, is referenced in the series.[28] A newspaper article about Luke Cage, written by Karen Page, including a picture of the titular character portrayed by Mike Colter, is prominently featured in the season.[29]
Release
