Agent Carter and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be back for new missions next season. ABC announced it will pick up both series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hayley Atwell will return as Peggy Carter for the second season of prequel series set after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 1946. No official word on if co-stars James D’Arcy (Edwin Jarvis) and Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark) will return. The retro series was filled with Marvel Easter Eggs and origins including the Red Room of Russia’s Black Widow program, future Iron Man villains and the early days of S.H.I.E.L.D. Atwell appears in Avengers: Age of Ultron now in cinemas.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will return for a third season. The season finale and showdown with the Inhumans is next Tuesday. The network will not move forward with plans for a potential spinoff starring Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood (as Barbara “Bobbi” Morse aka Mockingbird and Lance Hunter). No word on the ABC/Marvel project with Oscar winner John Ridley.
It’s possible we could have a full year of Marvel shows on ABC. Agent Carter was an eight-part story that aired while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was on a mid-season break. The Ridley series could have a short season too for a full year of Marvel/ABC TV.
