AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

After ABC's Upfronts presentation revealed that the proposed "S.H.I.E.L.D." spinoff starring Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood had not been given the go ahead, network Entertainment Group President Paul Lee revealed that the show might not be down for the count. According to Variety, Lee said that there still "certainly is a possibility of spinning them off," but that the "we absolutely love those characters on 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'" and didn't want to mess with that show by launching a spinoff right now.

ABC has released a synopsis for the upcoming third season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"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.

In an interview with Variety, executive producer Jeffrey Bell talked about the season finale's shocking final moment which saw Agent Simmons being sucked into that mysterious metal.

"Who knows, maybe that thing took her to Disneyland and she's riding on the 'Cars' ride, having the time of her life!," said Bell with a laugh. "When we first started talking about the Monolith, we knew that it needed to present a threat and we needed to demonstrate some of that threat and the promise of more story, because -- this is gonna shock you -- we want more people to watch next year, because we like when people watch our show. It's easy to kill a character for shock value or whatever, and we did have a number of deaths this season, but I don't think they were so much for shock value as the hopefully understandable logic of the characters and the stories. We prefer to leave you with something to talk about, to walk away with. This is something that came up in the room, we talked about what it meant... The idea of getting Fitz and Simmons -- who had been one person -- to become two whole people, come back together, agree to go on a date, and then have this happen, felt beautifully poetic and promises some really intriguing stories next season, which is really what it's all about."

CBR has an interview with Rick Cosnett who plays Eddie Thawne on the show. In it, Cosnett talks about his character's capacity for evil.

"Everybody expected me to be a dick, the golden boy who was obsessed with himself," said Cosnett. "We really had to see why Iris (Candice Patton) was with me and not Barry. The reason is, Eddie is lovely. He's got his shit together. He's really able and very much the man. He has to be someone you are torn between. You are a little torn between Barry and Eddie, even though he doesn't have much of a chance because the camera is always on Barry. 'What about my longing looks?' We just don't see those. I have a disadvantage there, but I put up a good case."

Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet's former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Greg Berlanti ("The Flash," "Arrow"), Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Glen Winter ("Arrow").
