ABC renews Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and picks up Agent Carter to series.
The link also includes the official description for Agent Carter. Sources told the Hollywood Reporter, "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".

I'm hopeful SHIELD will keep the momentum and that Agent Carter will be great. It's so exciting to have a female-led comic book story on TV.

And considering the way Shield has been finishing this season, it gives me hope that they've found their stride and next season will be phenomenal.

I have not seen the Carter short film. Is there a way to do so without buying a whole DVD of Captain America?
Squishy | May 08, 19:06 CET
The Agent Carter short might be online but it's not on the Captain America blu-ray. It's on the Iron Man 3 blu-ray.

Now we can watch the finale without fearing it could be the last episode ever!

As for AoS well despite some people worrying a S2 was always a lock, yes its not reached the heights of the early episodes ratings wise but network TV is in a very dire state right now and the numbers game has change a lot. The demo that AoS get well may not be spectacular but its steady which means a lot these days.

I love Hayley Atwell and I am excited to see her get her Peggy Carter tv show. She is talented and dare I say, just a little bit on the beautiful side.

Agent Carter- Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters (Reaper)
Daredevil- Drew Goddard (Angel/Lost/the best eps of Buffy: S7)
Jessica Jones- Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter)
Arrow- Marc Guggenheim (Eli Stone)
The Flash- Andrew Kreisberg (Eli Stone/Arrow)
Gotham- Bruno Heller (Rome/The Mentalist)
Constantine- Daniel Cerone (Dexter/The Mentalist)
iZombie- Diane Ruggiero (Veronica Mars)
Preacher- Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad)
The quality of writers picked to be showrunners for all these current/upcoming series has me extremely excited for next season. Hats off to the network executives for putting these projects in the best possible position to be worth their effort and our time. Now I'm just hoping that Hannibal gets renewed.

And especially great news about Agent Carter! Loved her in the films, and loved the one shot. And Atwell is hot. So there's also that.

For those who aren't caught up, here's What We Should Expect from the Agent Carter Series including info on who's involved so far. For those speculating about a "full" season, it's not planned to extend Carter to a full 22-23 episodes, it's designed to be a shorter series.

I can stop posting tweets. I just figured a lot of people either don't use twitter or can't access twitter at work (because obviously many of you will be posting from work :P)
ETA: on the topic of whether Whedonesque would cover Agent Carter, obviously it's up to the show runners (hee) but I did read that Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD would be connected so the crossover potential might warrant coverage, even though the show is somewhat tangentially related to the Whedonverse.
eddy, I don't see why it wouldn't continue. They wouldn't be out of a job because he's technically already fulfilled his part of the contract. He was to create and develop an Agents of SHIELD show for ABC, not run it.When Joss' contract with Marvel ends, he'll still be listed as the show creator. He's not running the show; that's Mo, Jed, and Jeff Loeb.

@Beth: I'm relived to hear that's the only reason (which is perfectly understandable, I'm a proud luddite in many aspects of social media as well).

But yeah for a second season!!!

On the upside a short run Agent Carter could be lots of fun.

I didn't realize how much I was waiting for this confirmation until I heaved a gigantic sigh of relief upon seeing this headline. So many good shows! I'm really excited for iZombie, too!
swanjun | May 09, 05:01 CET
To me the split sounds like: 11 episodes for SHIELD September-December before holidays, 13 episodes of Agent Carter January-mid March, 11 episodes of SHIELD late March-May.
How much Whedonesque coverage will the Netflix shows be getting as they draw closer?
I wonder if SHIELD will do two mini arcs in each batch of 11? OUAT did it this year and those writers seem pretty happy with the format. One half was a Peter Pan/Neverland arc and the second half was about The Wicked Witch of the West/Oz.
Dusk | May 09, 05:05 CET
So Agents of SHIELD could have a five-year plan, but they won't really need to worry about the details of season three until next year.
