Marvel's Agent Carter Renewed For Second Season

Marvel's Agent Carter has been renewed for a second season starting in 2016, ABC and Marvel Studios announced today.

The series had solid ratings -- not quite what ABC might have hoped for given the Marvel pedigree, but certainly better than most reruns or fill-ins would have been likely to have -- and great reviews. Fans have been actively engaged in the #SaveAgentCarter hashtag on social media since the season finale. 

Spinning out of the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel's Agent Carter follows Peggy Carter, Cap's former sweetheart and current agent of a proto-S.H.I.E.L.D., working alongside Iron Man's father and his butler Edwin Jarvis. It's produced by Marvel Studios and showrun by Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, and Chris Dingess.
