Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. moves to Friday 9pm when the Inhumans finishes its run.
Variety says "Tuesday is capped at 10 p.m. by the Jason Ritter drama "The Gospel of Kevin." The previous occupant of that slot, "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD," will move to Friday 9.m. after the eight episodes of "Inhumans" wrap".

We did have Agent Carter and AOS during a same calender season, with 8 Carter episodes and 22 SHIELD episodes, so on that standpoint it might or it might not affect how many episodes we're getting for AOS.

Also a Friday timeslot? Laughs then cries.

Between Fridays and OUAT losing most of it's main cast this might be a sign of both shows ending this time.

Inhumans goes to IMAX for two weeks starting Sept 1st. So by that logic is would premiere on TV September 22nd correct? Even if the premiere and finale are pushed to 2 hours each that still takes 6 weeks.
That puts the earliest SHIELD can start as the first week of November. It will get one or two weeks in December before holiday programming starts. At most that gives it six episodes to air in 2017 then.
Can they even fit 16 more hours January-May?

What's on ABC FRI 10pm? 20/20? They can do some double episodes, which I don't remember getting any during S4, and the lack of weeks can be solved.

My guess is the first ep of Inhumans will be 2 hours and run on Friday the 15th and have it's finale on Oct 27th. AoS will start up for November sweeps with a 2 hour ep on 11/3 (or run the premiere at 10 following Inhumans on 10/27 with a cross over), followed by eps on 11/10, 11/17, (break for Turkey week), 12/1 and 12/8 finishing up a short 6 hour "pod." Then it will be back for it's 2nd pod starting mid Jan through Feb sweeps, hiatus in March and back April through May sweeps.
Also, expect scheduling to not be hard and fast since AOS may move to a different night depending on the performance of other new shows.

Of course, I've only been right about this every. single. year. I could be wrong this time (Nah!). This show is VERY profitable to Disney and creatively is firing on all cylinders. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Can't wait to see what happens tonight as that should give us hints to where the story goes next season.

I wonder if it leads to more of the same or something new. Any insights you can share ?

6 seasons will allow the show to continue to be occasionally effected by whatever's going on in the films, so that should be fun/interesting if it happens.
I'm okay with a Friday night slot. I watch Real Time with Bill Maher and Vice that night, so it's not overly crowded. Was cool to have a Whedon series on Tuesday nights again for these past four years, but sci-fi is a better fit for Fridays. Like when I was a kid and teen. :)

JDL, the Inhumans experiment seems to be just that, an experiment. 8-10 ep seasons work great on cable but this IMAX thing is totally new. I think a lot of people throughout the industry will watch it with a lot of interest. I know I will as a businessperson and as a Marvel nerd. :) As with anything in TV success creates duplication/imitation and failure gets people fired. At the end of the day I think it will live or die on telling a good story and its success or failure will have nothing to do with the distribution strategy. We will see.
More importantly did the extended trailer shown at the upfronts yesterday ever make its way online? I NEED to see it. :)

I don't think the Upfront INhumans trailer was made available online. I've watched all the ABC trailers available, as they were the only network so far who chose not to make them geo-locked.

Plus this stat, "top 20 scripted show with L+7 factored in", is especially impressive.
