Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Spinoff Reportedly in the Works

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is in the midst of a creatively satisfying Season 2, and there could be more television in this universe before we know it thanks to reports of a spinoff series.

Entertainment Weekly exclusively reports that Marvel is quietly developing a spinoff for ABC. Here's what the site reports about the spinoff:

"We’re told a spinoff is being developed by SHIELD executive producer Jeffrey Bell (Angel, The X-Files) and SHIELD writer Paul Zbyszewski (Lost, Hawaii Five-0).

We don’t know is which characters from the current series will be moving over to the proposed spinoff – so let the speculation being on that. There won’t be an implanted pilot episode this season directly setting up the spinoff, either (like how CW launched The Flash out of Arrow). However, story elements that are still to come on SHIELD this year will be used to lay the groundwork for the potential new series. So by the end of the season – assuming the details for this project haven’t already leaked, which is rather unlikely – the spinoff concept should be clear.

Under the best-case scenario, the spinoff would hit ABC as soon as this fall. But there are other timing possibilities too, including midseason. Of course, the spinoff also might not even happen. Not only is SHIELD not yet officially renewed, but ABC has yet to select which of its crop of pilots will receive series orders – decisions that could impact the SHIELD spinoff plan."

The site also reports that Agent Carter, the miniseries that filled in for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. over the winter, has a roughly 60% chance of coming back for a second season.

Could Deathlok (J. August Richards) get his own show? Or what about the Inhumans? Let us know your thoughts and your guesses in the comments section.
