The Hulu original series Marvel’s Runaways will air on Freeform for the first time on August 2.

The move is not a permanent change, however. As of now, only the first episode is set to air as part of a marketing partnership between Hulu and Freeform.

The show follows six teenagers who may not get along, but “who must unite against a common foe: their parents.†Because you know what they say, you gotta fight for your right to party.
