The network has ordered Agent Carter -- based on the Captain America one-shot on the Iron Man 3 DVD -- straight to series and renewed Agents of SHIELD for a second season.
From showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas (ABC's midseason drama Resurrection, Reaper) Agent Carter stars Captain America's Hayley Atwell and takes place a year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger. It follows Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) girlfriend Agent Carter (Atwell) as she builds her career as a secret agent while the hero is frozen in ice.
The story is set in 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.
Agent Carter will be a short-order series and likely used as a "bridge show" to air during the second season hiatus of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, with both series ultimately being tied-in together.
Agents of SHIELD has been renewed for a second season. The series, which scored a creative rejuvenation thanks to its long-planned Captain America tie-in, is a sold performer among young men and sees its 2.5 million adults 18-49 rating grow more than 60 percent to 4.1 million after seven days of delayed viewing. While not the four-quadrant show ABC's Paul Lee had hoped for, it still ranks as ABC's highest-rated freshman drama in the key demo.
