'Agent Carter' Season 2 News: Hayley Atwell Talks About New Episodes & Their Setting
The second season of ABC's 'Agent Carter' was announced to arrive later this year and in a recent interview with star Hayley Atwell at the St. Louis Wizard World convention, fans were able to receive some more details.
Atwell has already stated that the next season will take place in 1947's Los Angeles. She explains how this will contrast with the first season:
"What is exciting, because it is going to be set in L.A., and set a year later, Peggy is in quite a different place. She is not grieving as much, it is not as raw for her to have lost Steve. So within herself, she is in a much stronger place. We can think more light, warmth and humor in who she is as a person. There is also something that reminds me of L.A. Confidential, kind of film noir, kind of glamorous L.A. life with a dark underbelly of L.A. life in the '40s. There will be a depth of characters. We were just talking backstage about how Angie and her are now in a place where Angie knows who she really is, and whether she can truly confide in her now that they're on the same page. It will be developing the characters and introducing new ones."
The character Howard Stark has also been said to make an appearance in this season:
"There has got to be elements of Howard there, but I'm not sure to what extent. He plays a pivotal role in her life, and on the show. And also, in order to justify Jarvis being in the season ... He works for Howard Stark, so there has to be some reason why he's in the season, and it will be based on Howard's presence. Hopefully we'll get Dominic. I'll text him and see if he's available."
Here's the official synopsis on season 2:
"Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home - and perhaps even a new love - she's about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect."
