Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an American television series created for ABC by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen, based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division), a peacekeeping and spy agency in a world of superheroes. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and acknowledges the continuity of the franchise's films and other television series. The series was produced by ABC Studios, Marvel Television, and Mutant Enemy Productions, with Jed Whedon, Tancharoen, and Jeffrey Bell serving as showrunners.
The series stars Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, reprising his role from the film series, alongside Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge. Nick Blood, Adrianne Palicki, Henry Simmons, Luke Mitchell, John Hannah, Natalia Cordova-Buckley, and Jeff Ward joined in later seasons. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents deal with various unusual cases and enemies, including Hydra, Inhumans, Life Model Decoys, alien species such as the Kree and Chronicoms, and time travel. Several episodes directly crossover with MCU films or other television series, notable Captain America: The Winter Soldier
(2014) which significantly affected the series in its first season. In
addition to Gregg, other actors from throughout the MCU also appear in
guest roles.
The Avengers writer and director Joss Whedon began developing a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot
following the film's release in August 2012, and Gregg was confirmed to
reprise his role that October. The series was officially picked up by
ABC in May 2013. The series attempted to replicate the production value
of the MCU films on a broadcast television budget, while also having to
work within the constraints of the MCU which were dictated by Marvel Studios and the films. Prosthetic makeup was created by Glenn Hetrick's Optic Nerve Studios, while Legacy Effects contributed other practical effects. Composer Bear McCreary recorded each episode's score with a full orchestra, while the visual effects for the series were created by several different vendors and have been nominated for multiple awards.
The series premiered on ABC in the United States on September 24, 2013, and concluded with a two-part series finale on August 12, 2020, with 136 episodes broadcast over seven seasons. After starting the first season
with high ratings but mixed reviews, the ratings began to drop while
reviews improved. Ratings continued to lower with subsequent seasons,
but were more consistent within each season, while reviews for later
seasons were consistently positive. Several characters created for the
series have since been introduced to the comic universe and other media. An online digital series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot, centered on Cordova-Buckley's Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez,
was released in December 2016 on ABC.com. Other spin-offs series went
through various stages of development but never materialized.
The first season follows S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson as he puts together a small team of agents to handle strange new cases.[1] They investigate Project Centipede and its leader, "The Clairvoyant", eventually uncovering that the organization is backed by the terrorist group Hydra, which has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. In the second season, following the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
Coulson becomes director of the organization and is tasked with
rebuilding it while dealing with Hydra, a faction of anti-superhuman
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and a newly revealed superhuman race called the Inhumans.[2][3]
During the third season, Coulson begins a secret mission to assemble the Secret Warriors, a team of Inhumans,[4][5] as Hydra restores its ancient Inhuman leader Hive to power.[6] After the defeat of Hive and Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. is made a legitimate organization once again with the signing of the Sokovia Accords. In the fourth season,
Coulson returns to being a field agent so S.H.I.E.L.D. can have a
public leader, and is tasked with tracking down more enhanced people,
including Robbie Reyes / Ghost Rider. In addition, Agent Leo Fitz and Holden Radcliffe complete their work on the Life Model Decoy and Framework virtual reality projects.[7]
The fifth season
sees Coulson and members of his team abducted to the space station
Lighthouse in the year 2091, where they must try to save the remnants of
humanity while figuring out how to get home.[8]
After returning to the present, where they are labeled fugitives,
Coulson and his team work to prevent the future that they saw.[9] They succeed in defeating a Gravitonium-powered Glenn Talbot, but Coulson dies due to his interactions with Ghost Rider in the previous season.[10]
As the sixth season
begins, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents divide into two groups: one heads to
space to find Fitz, who is lost following the last season's
time-traveling,[11][12] while the other remains on Earth to face a team of mercenaries led by Sarge, a man that looks just like Coulson.[11][12][13]Season seven finds the team, including a Life Model Decoy of Coulson,[14] jumping throughout time to prevent the Chronicoms from establishing Earth as their new home, Chronyca-3, and eradicating S.H.I.E.L.D. from history.
