ABC has officially announced which shows are coming back for the fall season, and “Agents of SHIELD” made the cut. While the freshman show has faced lukewarm ratings, they were apparently strong enough to bring it back for at least one more year.
They also greenlit to series the upcoming “Marvel’s Agent Carter” and gave us this summary:
“Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring “Captain America’s” Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life – Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” along with the short “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.” “Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter. Executive producers are Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters, Steve McFeely & Christopher Marcus, and Jeph Loeb.
As you can tell from my previous thoughts on “Agents of SHIELD”, I’m very excited for its return and where the show can go now that it’s been evened out and finally found its voice.
The season finale of “Agents of SHIELD” airs next Tuesday, May 13, at 7 PM MDT.
