"Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring “Captain America’s” Hayley Atwell. On ABC

The series 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.” “Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter. Executive producers are Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters, Steve McFeely & Christopher Marcus, and Jeph Loeb.

According to Marvel, Kevin Feige will be one of the producers.

This is good news, but I thought Feige wasn't involved with the TV side.

NEWS:

Atwell confirmed to a reporter that the show’s first season will play out over the course of 8 episodes. It’s a little bit shorter than even a shortened 13 episode season many cable shows do, and miniscule compared to the 22 usually given to network shows, but perhaps Peggy’s story really is best told over a shorter, more concentrated arc.

Link doesn't work for me, is it a film or a series? Hyped regardless.

triplestation · May 9, 2014

she has some really nice bobbs

i want to sleep on them

LumpOfCole · May 9, 2014

The Captain America movies are my favorite MCU movies, so I'm really stoked for this.

Gartooth · May 9, 2014

I just watched the short starring her a couple of days ago too which was pretty entertaining. Cautious optimism because I think there is potential, but who knows.

TV show on ABC.

kurahador · May 9, 2014

I hope it'll be a short season. Can't risk it being too fillery.

BLACKLAC · May 9, 2014

Kind of sad knowing how she ends up.

Last I heard it was a 13 episode season.

BadAss2961 · May 9, 2014

The dude working the register at the shawarma joint could get his spinoff at this point.

And I hope they have the good sense to kill it after a season or two. Seeing the origins of SHIELD will be neat but I don't think there is enough for it to keep going for too long without feeling fillery.

Should it be "greenlighted" or "greenlit"?

Day one.

I've heard both, just wondering which was correct.

What are the chances that we will see Tommy Lee Jones in this....

I'd like they get Toby Jones better

Ahasverus · May 9, 2014

YES.
Great character all around.

BurnOutBrighter · May 9, 2014

Wonder how well they'll pull off the time period.

In the meantime...

jetpacks was yes · May 9, 2014

If they keep very close to the tone of the one-shot I'll be most pleased.

Neoxon · May 9, 2014

Hayley Atwell is a goddess & an incredible actress. Glad Agent Carter got greenlit.

I'm also happy SHIELD is back, mainly because of its miraculous improvement later in the first season.

TDLink · May 9, 2014

Dominic Cooper is back as Howard Stark as well.

petethepanda · May 9, 2014

Cautiously optimistic. It took a whole lot of terrible shit to get to this point but Agents of Shield is starting to get kind of okay.

Gartooth · May 9, 2014

I'll go nuts if they have (Cap 2 spoilers)

Winter Soldier appear in an episode.

danielcw · May 9, 2014

Guess we will find out at the upfronts next week, how they will schedule this.

Alongside SHIELD, or as a filler when SHIELD goes on hiatus.

I guess it will be the former, because the later would be more expensive.
And ABC wanted to do the same with Once Upon A Time and In Wonderland, but ultimately chose against it.

MisterHero · May 9, 2014

A drama set in the 40s and 50s should be interesting. Like in the other thread, I'm just wondering what they'll do about

HYDRA. Best MCU villains so far

.

Mushroomer25 · May 9, 2014

Sounds good. I'd be super-hype if they confirm Dominic Cooper has at least an occasional role as Stark. He was underutilized in Captain America, and I want more.

Black-Wind · May 9, 2014

... Ehhhh?
A period piece (strike one) with ABC (strike 2) after seeing how AoS worked out (strike 3).

Valhelm · May 9, 2014

Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for this.

Dominic Cooper will return for the show as Howard Stark.

Fuzzery · May 9, 2014

Make it a 6-8 episode series, and do it well.

Razorskin · May 9, 2014

Marvel everywhere.

This Queen Victoria sequence with hodge

and the reflex

Very well done. Almost perfect.

Penguin · May 9, 2014

Stoked for this

Dug the Marvel One-Shot they did for this

And unlike SHIELD, I feel like won't be so handicapped with tying into current events of the movies

Mariolee · May 9, 2014

So this is going to show how SHIELD gets you-know-what?

The Hermit · May 9, 2014

shes hot alright

antonz · May 9, 2014

Has potential. Can show it from both sides. You have Peggy and Howard etc. working for the good of the world and shield while you have Hydra elements doing their thing. Could perhaps get Zola's actor to make cameos and such

Nyanmaruz · May 9, 2014

Agents of Shield, Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, and now Agent Carter. This fall tv season is truly flooded with Marvel/DC goodness.

Ninja Scooter · May 9, 2014

Period piece has me interested...hopefully it's not straight garbage like Agents of Shield.

HyperZone<3 · May 9, 2014

no way they're getting Dominic Cooper for Howard Stark, at least not for a season regular. That guy is way too busy.

Laieon · May 9, 2014

Does she beat Shaq?

Chatin · May 9, 2014

I loved her in both films. Hopefully this doesn't outstay it's welcome or ruin the character.

PhantomZone · May 9, 2014

I think Hayley Atwell is awesome so more Hayley is good news, but with Agents of Shield being a bit meh i don't know if this series will be able to sustain interest for very long.

He will be recurring rather than a "series regular". Ie, not in every episode but in some of them. They're doing it this way not because of his schedule (he was down to be in every episode) but to keep the focus on Peggy. All that being said, when he appears it will be more than cameos and more than just "he's featured in this one episode" like Maria Hill on AoS.

Director Fury has all agents undergo this training now.
