ABC Renews AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. for Season 5

ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the first television entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, premiering back in 2013. The show has focused on S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. Hydra, Inhumans, LMDs, and even Ghost Rider over its four-year run. Additionally, there have been some tie-ins to the MCU, referencing key events such as the Battle of New York and the passing of the Sokovia Accords.

This season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. moved to ABC’s 10 PM on Tuesdays slot, which led to lower ratings. However, it has done well with DVR views, while it serves as a solid weekly promotional tool for the MCU. So, fans weren’t too sure if the show would live on for another year.

But, those fans can breathe easy now. ABC has formally renewed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a fifth season. It will be joined by new Marvel series Inhumans next fall. Also, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that ABC is looking to lower S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s budget for next season.

Are you excited to see the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continue for at least one more year?
