I honestly doubt it. Marvel.com's article didn't say this, and if it's in pre-production, there's no way for anyone else to know for sure.

I would expect it's more like Punisher, the same character in a brand-new context (especially since they're moving him to Texas from Los Angeles). Except where Frank had no supporting cast follow him into Punisher, Robbie already comes with Lorenzo Henrie as Gabe and Jose Zuñiga as Uncle Eli. (Or rather, I hope they come along for the ride.)

Although I doubt Chloe Bennet's Quake will show up in a quasi-love interest recurring capacity like Karen Page did in Punisher. Sadly. Something else to consider is that ABC emphasized Most Wanted was NOT a spin-off while that series was still in development, but never bothered explaining how that could be. It's probably just industry spin so they don't turn away people who don't follow Agents of SHIELD.

Or maybe they don't have any plans to do any sort of crossover with AoS and they're getting ahead of the "Why don't they just call the other Avengers/Defenders?" criticisms.
