The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that not only is a third season of Agent Carter considered “highly unlikely,” but that passion for Marvel’s Most Wanted is cooling and it’s not “considered the lock it once was.” Agent Carter’s cancellation, if and when it officially comes, won’t be a huge surprise. The show struggled in the ratings quite a bit.

THR’s take on Marvel’s Most Wanted slightly more dire than what Variety has heard, which is that the show isn’t no longer practically guaranteed a series, but still has a decent shot.

I wonder if they'll find a way to get Bobbi and Hunter back on SHIELD if this doesn't get picked up.

It would suck if they both canceled Carter and then didn't pick this up. We need another Marvel show to fill the void, although the Netflix ones are doing a way better job of it.

They could cut SHIELD down to 16 episodes, and then give Carter eight episodes and MMW 8 episodes. Still gives them 32 hours and cuts down the padding on SHIELD and Carter.

That is definitely what they should be considering. Multiple projects, shorter episode orders.

That was still what I thought Carter was supposed to be, kind of surprised they didn't go that route unless they had other plans to show it in another property.

Heck, I'd be happy with a Agent Carter TV movie a year.

It'd be kind of hilarious if they just randomly showed back up after their tearful goodbye episode.

"Oh hey guys. All that stuff about being burned? Yeah... um... we're not now."

I wonder if they'll incorporate the pilot, like The Office did with the failed Dwight spin-off?

Either the Pilot was awful or ABC has no confidence they could sustain 2 Marvel shows simultaneously.

Shield's ratings have dropped a lot this season and they were probably concerned a spinoff couldn't work.

I guess now they have to find a way to write Hunter and Bobbi back in for next season.

They could've atleast ordered 8 episodes to air during the AoS hiatus.

I'd be annoyed if I were these two. First the scrap the idea of the spinoff. Then they try again a year later. They write them off the show. And then they don't even pick up the spinoff.

Yeah Palicki and Blood will probably be pissed that it didn't get picked up. Being series leads would probably come with a nice salary bump.

However, with any Pilot that's shot in contention for the next season, there is always a chance it won't get picked up.

Their probably doubly pissed that they lost there main gig on Shield to go forward on this project. Though they will probably find a way to write them back onto the show.

they can write some of the stories into AOS

I don't think 2 shows is sustainable either

They could sustain 2 shows easily if it was this and Agent Carter. I really hate this wasn't picked up and the other was canceled.

It shouldn't be too hard to write these two back into AoS (um, hey guys, we're back) and hopefully AoS will be the better for it at least.

It was probably due to all these people complaining about "too many" superhero shows on television.

Oh well, plenty of air time for another police procedural. Or maybe a couple of ethnic sitcoms.

I thought AoS got much better when they joined the cast (particularly Palicki) and I was disappointed that they were leaving. I hope they're coming back.

ABC has bigger problems than worrying about slotting another Marvel show. Their entire schedule has seen the ratings fall and it's apparent Disney isn't happy.

I hope so too. Anything that keeps the focus off Daisy makes AoS better. Outside of her powers/parents storyline the writers make her overly important for plot reasons at the expense of the other characters. The perfect example was in a recent ep Lincoln getting the murder vest in case he's infected by Hive and Daisy getting the rescue mission after being so. That was really on the nose (intentionally or not).

the problem is networks are still trying to fill their usual lineups but now they have additional competition from streaming services like Netflix which don't have specified days/times

it's gonna eat into ratings

People can only watch so much
