Pretty soon there will be more Marvel TV shows than there are Marvel movies, and basically you'll be able to watch something superheroic every single week without breaks. Marvel's troubled Agents of SHIELD has been picked up for another go 'round, and they've also got a handful of Netflix shows gearing up in the near future. But ABC also picked up Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter straight to series, and without wasting any time have released this piece of promo art.
Pretty simple, but you get the early SHIELD logo design right away. It'll be interesting to see if there will be any crossover between the older and newer versions of the intelligence agency. Here's a plot description for the show, which is expected to be a 13-episode limited series:
Marvel’s Agent Carter, starring Captain America’s Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad.
Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life–Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, along with the short Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.
Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, Marvel’s Agent Carter is executive produced by Christopher Markus, Steve McFeely, Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Jeph Loeb.
