'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' New Series News, Rumors: Marvel to Develop Spin-Off Series?

Marvel recently announced their newest television undertaking for ABC, and that's an 'Agents of SHIELD' spinoff series.

Not many details have yet been revealed, but it will be directed by current 'Agents of SHIELD' director, Jeffrey Bell, and written by Paul Zbyszewski.

"We don't know is which characters from the current series will be moving over to the proposed spinoff - so let the speculation being on that. There won't be an implanted pilot episode this season directly setting up the spinoff, either (like how CW launched The Flash out of Arrow). However, story elements that are still to come on SHIELD this year will be used to lay the groundwork for the potential new series. So by the end of the season - assuming the details for this project haven't already leaked, which is rather unlikely - the spinoff concept should be clear," writes EW.

The new series is speculated to either focus on another unit or special team of SHIELD, or an introduction to Marvel's 'Inhuman' series. They've hinted at both in the current show so far.

The spin-off hasn't been given a release date yet, but it is believed fans could see the show on the air by this fall, and that is if the series is indeed green lighted.

Beyond that, 'Agents of SHIELD' is still awaiting a season three renewal as we speak.
