Marvel Studios confirmed today that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being renewed for a second season, as well as announcing that Marvel's Agent Carter series had been greenlit by ABC.

According to Deadline.com, Agent Carter will feature the return of actress Hayley Atwell, who previously portrayed Carter in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger as well as the 2013 Agent Carter one-shot. The series will reportedly follow Carter's exploits with the Strategic Scientific Reserve, or S.S.R., after the end of World War II, as well as her continuing covert work with Howard Stark.

The series is being overseen by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, a duo best known as the creators of the CW series Reaper, with Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely penning the script.

Not much else was announced about the show, nor was a premiere date given out. Info about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was also slim.
