The news that Cloak and Dagger is going to be delayed for so long is coming at a bad time for Freeform.
Meanwhile, two of their long-running shows, Switched at Birth and their biggest hit, Pretty Little Liars, will be off the air after their current seasons finish.
Unless the network can quickly greenlight some dramas that become popular soon, that will leave only The Fosters and Shadowhunters in their drama lineup until Cloak and Dagger does finally debut.
Freeform brought out several new programs this year to further that effort, but many of those new shows, including Dead of Summer, Guilt and Recovery Road have have gotten cancellation notices.
