Terwijl de ene TV show na de ander nu sneuvelt, is er vandaag bekend geworden dat Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. en Agent Carter met een seizoen verlengd zijn. Beide shows zijn leuk (hoewel Carter een hoor low budget decors had) maar hebben een gebrek aan echte helden en villians zoals je in The Flash en Arrow wel hebt. Maar goed, wie weet wat het gaat brengen.

The Captain America: The First Avenger spinoff is Marvel's first female-driven entry. The drama opened to strong reviews...and soft viewership. The eight-episode series averaged 5 million total viewers and a 1.8 in the demo - and almost doubling its returns when factoring in seven days of DVR viewing.

The most surprising renewals are most certainly Agent Carter (Season 2), Galavant (season 2), American Crime (Season 2), and Secrets & Lies (Season 2). The ratings were low, critical commentary was mixed, and most of these series were built to not necessarily last for more than a limited run, meaning their conclusions were satisfying. But, once more into the breach! Galavant was something different and fun for ABC, and its return is certainly welcomed. Agent Carter was brimming with potential that lamentably drained away throughout the season, but hopefully Season 2 can retool (and work on some of those pacing issues).

More on the bubble, but still viable, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be back for Season 3, but early word is that its Mockingbird spinoff is probably a no go.
