ABC has released a new featurette for "Agent Carter" ahead of the Season 2 premiere, which puts the spotlight on a new character, Dr. Jason Wilkes (Reggie Austin).

Described as a quirky scientist, Dr. Wilkes will get to know Peggy (Hayley Atwell) this season as she makes the move to the West Coast. In the featurette, Austin discusses the challenges Wilkes faces as a black scientist in the '40s, and how that brings him closer to Peggy.

Find out why "sparks fly" between Wilkes and Peggy in the featurette, below:
