Both of Marvel Television's ABC series will return for new seasons, and the network has offered a taste of what to expect from upcoming episodes.

Last week, news broke that ABC was renewing both "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Marvel's Agent Carter," for the Marvel Television programs' third and second seasons, respectively. Tuesday brought official synopses for the new seasons of both, providing a little insight into both shows' futures -- including Peggy Carter heading west to Los Angeles, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s battles with Hydra and the Inhumans continuing.

"MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER" (Season 2)

"Marvel's Agent Carter" returns for a second season of adventure and intrigue, starring Hayley Atwell in the titular role of the unstoppable secret agent for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve). Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home - and perhaps even a new love - she's about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect.

"Marvel's Agent Carter" stars Hayley Atwell as Agent Carter.

Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Chris Dingess, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Jeph Loeb are executive producers. "Marvel's Agent Carter" is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

"MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D." (Season 3)

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." returns for a dynamic, action-packed third season, as Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) embarks on a deadly new secret mission to protect the world from new threats in the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wars with Hydra and a rogue faction of Inhumans.

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." stars Clark Gregg as Director Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, Chloe Bennet as Agent Skye, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Nick Blood as Agent Lance Hunter and Adrianne Palicki as Agent Bobbi Morse.

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." was co-created by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, who also serve as executive producers along with Jeph Loeb and Jeffrey Bell. "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will return to its 9 p.m. Tuesday time slot. It's not yet known where "Agent Carter" will fit into the schedule -- this past season, it replaced "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in the lineup while the elder show was on midseason hiatus. When reached by CBR News, Marvel Television declined further comment beyond what's been released by ABC.
