Marvel's Agent Carter season 2 hasn't been confirmed yet, but the folks in charge are considering it...
NewsUPDATE:
Varietyhas a report on some shows that are struggling for a renewal, and it's not bad news for Agent Carterseason 2. It's not great, either, though. Apparently things are "looking better" but it's far from a "slam dunk."
More on Agent Carterseason 2 as we hear it...which could be as early as Friday, but certainly no later than next week at ABC's upfront.
Here's our original story from February...
Agent Carterwrapped up its eight episode run in style. Refreshingly, it told a complete story, and while there are plenty of opportunities for this show to continue (and we really, really want to see that happen), the ending with Peggy on the bridge was perfectly satisfying.
But then there was that teaser in the prison with Arnim Zola and Dr. Faustus/Fenhoff. It's a nice nod to some of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Agents of SHIELD season 2, but were you to cut it out, Agent Carter season one would still stand on its own as a complete story.
That doesn't mean we don't want more, though, and showrunners Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters had a little to say about the prospects of Agent Carterseason 2.
Ms. Fazekas said:
"We’ve certainly been talking about what a second season would look like, and there’s a lot of different ideas, but I don’t think just because you see Toby Jones at the end of this season that, “oh, next season’s going to be about Toby Jones.” That was really just to tie it into the Winter Soldier program. That being said, the best ideas will win the day, so I think once we really get into talking about a second season… we have a lot of ideas, and what’s great about the structure of this show is, you can tell so many different stories and go so many different directions."
As for what might be in store for Peggy in season 2, Ms. Butters added: "We’ve talked about exploring more of Peggy’s past; how did she end up working for the SSR, what drove her to that? Just exploring Peggy — that’s the great thing about television, it allows you to explore these characters more in-depth than you get in a movie."
The whole interview over at Varietyis illuminating, and you should give it a read. We'll keep you posted as soon as there's any kind of announcement about Agent Carter season 2.
