ABC Cancels Agent Carter

Once the news broke early yesterday afternoon that Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell's new ABC drama, Conviction, had been greenlit to series, it became clear that it was the end of the road for the Marvel spy series. Plagued by low ratings (but strong critical acclaim in the case of the show's recent second season), there was hope that, considering the sprawl of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Carter might make another go of it. Unfortunately, ABC isn't betting on the appeal of the MCU anymore.

The series was set to star Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood, who left the S.H.I.E.L.D. team this past season to prep for the series. Considering how often people from the MCU pop-up in other Marvel properties, I would assume both Palicki and Blood will find their way back to the mothership at some point in the future. With the end of both shows, that only leaves Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry the Marvel mantle on broadcast television. The rest of the Marvel live-action shows can be found on Netflix, which is currently the home to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the upcoming Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher.
