Agent Carter cancelled.
Sorry everyone. On the bright side for Hayley, her legal show is moving forward.

Reality TV is cheap to produce. Smart, quality TV is expensive and doesn't gather the numbers. Sad.

Will miss this show - the Carter/Jarvis/Stark dynamic was gold

I will miss you, Peggy and Jarvis. And please someone hire Enver.

They look to be focusing on Marvel Studios' blockbusters, Marvel Television's Netflix and Freeform projects, Star Wars, the return of Pixar's main filmmakers (Lasseter, Docter, Stanton and Unkrich), Walt Disney Animation Studios' Lasseter-overseen projects and their live-action remakes in the wake of Cinderella and The Jungle Book's critical/financial success.
I wonder what all this means for former Daily Show/Colbert Report writer (and Colbert Report co-creator) Ben Karlin's Damage Control pilot over at ABC. Not to mention John freakin' Ridley's unnamed Marvel series. I was really looking forward to them.

I'm not surprised, but I am very disappointed. This is still my favorite Marvel TV show, and I wanted more. More Peggy, more Jarvis, more Dottie, more Angie. I love all those characters so much.
I was really hoping it had done well enough for one more season, though that wasn't looking likely. Still. This is a sad day. :-(

For me, Agent Carter was an adult Buffy, an opportunity to not only see a fantastic female character kick arse, but also deal with workplace sexism in a way that led me to ask myself in an update of that old expression - What would Peggy do?
I'm so sad about this :(

Usually, this wouldn't be a problem - there is this thing called a 'remote', after all. But this is the MCU, and I want to watch completely everything out of this fictional universe sooner or later (apart from Pixar productions, the MCU movies are basically the only ones I still watch). So not "having" to suffer through a third season of this show is rather appreciated.
Still, those who'll miss it have my sympathies. Having one of your favourite shows cancelled sucks. Especially this early. If anyone should get what that's like, it's the people visiting this site.

Actually wrote this sentence last. Don't mind me, just started typing trying to reflect and think more about the news, and the lines below were what happened, and it would feel like wasted effort if I just deleted, so decided to post it after all.
- Hayley had a pilot, that now, is ordered into series.
- There was the hard international sale aspect due to the low episode count from Agent Carter.
- And there is the whole fascinating matter about Feige and Perlmutter + Marvel braintrust rift, that from what's been reported left the former with full control of the movies, and the latter with the tv side, which in the end might not be so connected after all. Curiously Agent Carter was still considered a co-production by Marvel TV and Marvel Studios. The issue was still mostly he said, she said, but quite interesting to read for those interested on the inner-workings.
- And there's the shift from ABC leadership from a few months ago.
These things probably also contributed for Most Wanted not getting picked-up. Do wonder if they ever shot a pilot or just a presentation, and maybe if that content might get incorporated into next season of AOS somehow. Unlikely, but I do wonder.
If Agent Carter got an 3rd season, I was really hoping they make a play at narrative thing very common in several ABC show airing now and also on Arrow, with flashbacks, but making them Flash Forwards instead, so they could show a bit more about the founding of SHIELD and other history stuff, how he current actions (in the past) lead to things in the present. Nothing on the MCU slate seem to shift back into history again like the first Captain America movie did, and Agent Carter seemed like the place they were allowed to explore the time between WWII and the past. Like, around what decade that Howard stopped looking like Dominic Cooper and started looking like John Slattery. Did the Jarvis' play a role on Howard and Maria getting married, and how important were they to kid Tony, to the point that he named his original assistant AI, JARVIS. Did the SSR become SHIELD, or was there a dissolution, and SHIELD was something new that came out from that. Sharon calls Peggy, "Aunt Peggy", which we can assume means great-aunt, from the time gap. So is M. Carter still alive, did he already had kids, or were that still ahead. Did Sousa become Peggy's husband we learned about. So many things not just left from S2, but things that are suggested from the movies, and now there's a place less to show them.
With the cancellation of one and non-series order from another, I do hope that it gives opportunity for AOS to get refocused. I did enjoy a lot of Season 3 so far, but the entire Secret Warriors arc still felt awkward. In the line of incorporation maybe they could do more bottle episodes, like the one we had with Simmons earlier in the season, but in a way that would allow them to reincoporate Bobbie and Hunter, and also elements from Agent Carter.

This! 😀
I agree that the Secret Warriors arc felt awkward. Part of it, I think, is that the show could have focused on bringing in MORE Inhumans. 3 Inhumans other than Daisy, two of whom got almost not screen time, don't really make a compelling arsenal for SHIELD. Maybe it's because they haven't been developed well as characters. Think of how Joss might have approached them vs. how they are. That's what I keep thinking about the show in general. If Joss was in charge, it would be quite different, and far, far better.
Daisy and Lincoln have zero chemistry. Nothing. Nada. I don't buy that she in concerned about him, or he is all about her.
Coulson has been a whiny minor character, especially in the second half.
May gets to scowl in a couple of scenes here and there.
Maybe my pissy mood is just me being miffed at Agent Carter, a vastly better series, being cancelled.

Anyways, short little teaser clip for Conviction that is on Deadline looks good. ABC's upfront is next Tuesday afternoon and longer promo clips should be released around that time.

the gang thinks of a plan to stop Whitney and the Darkforce problem, they execute the plan, it... works. Oh wait, one problem, Sousa will probably get sucked in the portal and die and oh... he doesn't.
...but there were enough plot points and cool characters to make for a good S3.
For S3, Johann Fennhoff and Whitney Frost could both even have easily come back as full-on Doctor Faustus and Madam Masque.. Although, as a fan of the comics, I thought that they got to the essence of those characters very well already.

Peggy Carter is my favourite character in the MCU. (As I often say, my favourite Marvel love interest is Captain America.) I can't bring myself to believe this is the last we'll see of her. Can't her story still be picked up at basically any point in her life (well, as a period piece)? Even if it's a decade or more before someone at Marvel wants to show more of her, they should still be able to call Hayley Atwell. AoS could even have flashbacks to when she founded SHIELD.
