First Clip From Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Premiere Released

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns with a vengeance! Season 4 will premiere this Tuesday, and to get you excited for the episode, which is titled "The Ghost," ABC has released the first clip from it.

Agent May calls in Coulson and Mack, who have spent the past six weeks aboard the Zephyr One (new aerial base of operations), and informs them that someone with enhanced abilities violently attacked three people in Los Angeles. Two of them were killed. They had mysterious burns; their heads were bashed in, and one of them even had their spine removed from their body.

The third victim is in critical condition, and under sedation, he identified Daisy (a.k.a. Quake) as being at the scene of the crime, thus making her the No. 1 suspect. May hopes that Coulson and Mack can get to her "quickly and uncover the truth before the military, who has orders to kill."

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns with a vengeance for the fourth exciting season in an all-new time period, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 at 10|9c.

In the aftermath of their journey to another planet, Director Phil Coulson and the rest of the team were driven more than ever to put an end to the Hydra organization. Little did they know that they were up against the deadliest threat they've ever faced – an extremely powerful Inhuman, Hive, who was transported back from Maveth in the body of their worst enemy, Grant Ward. The team was able to thwart and kill Hive and take down Hydra, but they are all still mourning the death of fellow agent and Inhuman Lincoln Campbell.

In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack, and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. Agent May is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz and Simmons have taken a big step forward in their relationship.

"The Ghost" was written by Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen and directed by Billy Gierhart.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Tuesday, September 20 in its new timeslot, 10:00 PM ET on the ABC Television Network.
