History Series / AgentsofSHIELD

After the release of Film/AvengersEndgame, it has become unclear if ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' (as well as ''Agent Carter'' and other non-Disney Plus MCU shows such as ''Series/{{Inhumans}}'') remain canon. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sixth and seventh seasons appear to contradict the MCU's timeline, and these works have been listed under the "Marvel Legacy" banner on Disney Plus with other non-MCU Marvel works such as the ''X-Men'' film franchise and Sam Raimi's Film/SpiderManTrilogy.

While the previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films focused on Creator/MarvelComics characters who already existed in the comics themselves, ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' focuses primarily on characters original to the MCU, though there have been an increasing number of crossovers with comic and MCU characters, and several episodes have been direct follow-ups to the films. The reciprocity goes both ways, with events in the series seriously impacting the rest of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, while a [[ComicBook/SHIELD2014 comic book series with the Marvel 616 versions of the team]] ran from December 2014 to November 2015; [[ComicBook/AgentsOfSHIELD a second one (bearing the same title as the show)]] launched as part of the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel initiative in January 2016.

A sixth season was officially confirmed in May 2018, with plans for a reduced 13-episode run put into place instead of the usual 22. A mere six months later, ABC confirmed that the show would conclude with a seventh and final season comprised of another 13 episodes.

''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' (or ''[[InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt Marvel's]] Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'') is the first TV series set in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, focusing on the organization ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and taking place after ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' and ''Film/IronMan3'' chronologically. Premiering in September 2013 on Creator/{{ABC}}, it was created and executive produced by Creator/JossWhedon, [[ProductionPosse Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen]] (Joss Whedon also directed the pilot). It stars Creator/MingNaWen, Creator/ElizabethHenstridge, Creator/IainDeCaestecker, Creator/BrettDalton, Creator/ChloeBennet, and Creator/ClarkGregg as [[BackFromTheDead a very much alive]] Agent Phil Coulson, with later additions Creator/AdriannePalicki, Creator/NickBlood, Creator/HenrySimmons, Creator/LukeMitchell, and Creator/NataliaCordovaBuckley joining the main cast after its inaugural season.

Jeph Loeb would later confirm that the seventh season would be the last in July 2019, just before the show's panel at the San Diego Comic Con.
