Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Premiere: New Time Slot and Agent Carter Spin-off

May 20, 2014 01:41 PM EDT

Marvel's Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. concluded last week in an explosive Season One finale, and already the Season Two premiere is scheduled for fall this year, while the 'Agent Carter' Spinoff is set to premiere in January 2015.

It is more than likely that S.H.I.E.LD. Season Two will premiere sometime in September given the fact the first season premiered on September 24. Based on its 2014-2015 primetime lineup , ABC continue broadcasting all new S.H.I.E.LD. episodes on Tuesday nights. The only scheduling changes so far is that S.H.I.E.L.D. will be pushed back to 9 pm, which is one hour later than its original 8pm time slot. This rescheduling may indicate a shift toward more mature content. Indeed, it has been speculated that the show will take a darker turn by Season Two.

Also, Marvel is planning to launch Agent Carter (Haley Atwell), a separate spin-off series based on Captain America's love interest that will debut in January 2015. The upcoming series is based on the popular Marvel short film starring Agent Peggy Carter, an ex-servicewoman who joins S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately after WWII. Despite her exemplary wartime service, Agent Carter confronts sexism while trying to recover the Zodiac key. The Agent Cart TV series takes place in 1946, in between events from first and second Captain America films.

Agent Carter will only run for eight episodes, and will air in between the fall and winter season of Marvel's Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
