I'm so excited there may be an Agent Carter TV series and I'm really surprised that there's no mention of it on this page. The one shot was a great launching point for a series and ABC and Marvel are said to be working on it.
There's also a fan site ready and waiting at

I have no doubt it'll get picked up, I think the show is a great fit for ABC in particular, will pair nicely with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and now that Marvel are working on the Netflix shows for the "superfans" I think it has the potential to round out their TV plans nicely.
Latest rumor is it'll film in Vancouver

I don't see the point in an Agent Carter TV show, which would be just a '40s spy show. She never was an important or even interesting character in the comic books in the first place (just Captain America's mandatory love interest), and i don't think a normal woman who beats up men would really add anything to the cinematic Marvel Universe inhabited by powerful characters such as Spider-Man, the Avengers and the X-Men, because well, she's just a normal woman. You might as well give May Parker her own TV show to see her bake cookies for Peter.
We already have Black Widow, Hawkeye and a Marvel spy show with a cast consisting of normal people, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm glad the writers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally got their act together, after starting off as a Marvel version of The X-Files for the first half of the season. Finally we get to see Deathlok, altough nothing has been done with the Graviton orgin yet. I'm not saying it is a bad show, but it is too slow and doesn't do anything with the fact that it is situated in the Marvel Universe, which is such a waste of potential. -

Yes.
And i honestly didn't get what was so special about it.
A secretary beating up some henchmen of a villain we never even got to see.
All Hail the King, now that was a one-shot that was actually going somewhere. -

I like Agent Carter, Hayley Atwell and the one-shot. But if this goes to series, I think it will flop as hard as Pan Am.
The subject matter doesn't have enough mass appeal and as a period show, it won't be cheap. There's just not enough here to support a network show. It would likely end up being Marvel's first misstep. It is probably better suited as a netflix 13 episode series. -

I think you may be underestimating ABC's predominantly female viewership.
