An Official Decision To Cancel Or Renew AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Is Expected To Arrive In The Coming Days

Following the cancellation of numerous shows, fans have been eager to hear whether Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be returning for a sixth season, and now it appears we'll be getting an answer very soon...

This week has been an exciting and frustration experience as fans have seen the cancellation and renewal of numerous shows across several networks. Just earlier today, the universally panned Inhumans was official cancelled, but that wasn’t the Marvel show fans have been worried about. Instead, that prize goes to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nearly ever since the poor to mixed reception of the first season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been at risk of cancellation. Fortunately for fans, the show has proven to be as hard to kill as its heroes, earning four more seasons which have been received better than the first.

However, with its less than stellar ratings, and the fact that we’ve heard nothing about the show’s future, fans have grown worried that the upcoming season finale will be the show’s last.

Thanfully, fans may finally be able to put an end to their speculation, as The Hollywood Reporter’s Lesley Goldberg says an official decision will be announced “in the coming days.”





Of course, this won’t put fans of the series at ease, but, with the finale still being promoted as a season finale rather than a series finale, some maintain hope of seeing another season. Still, even if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. does come to an end, we should expect a fulfilling conclusion as the showrunners have stated that the season finale can act as a satisfying series finale if they don’t receive an additional season.

@Forthas - just rewatched Blade Runner 2049 so good. Hope his version of Dune is awesome, I only remember bits of the old classic movie.

@Reaper87 -

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Visually speaking, i am not sure that there is a better Director than Villeneuve. That is why I am so hyped for this film. I am hoping it becomes a modern classic film series and Denis Villeneuve is perhaps one of the few people who can pull it off.

This is a devastating news day as it is. I'm glad they are giving me a break before delivering the final blow. Brooklyn nine nine and Lucifer are the staples of my TV consumption. If AoS goes away too....

I am sure it'll be renewed. The sun will shine once more for the agents.

Not so sure about making it to 8 Seasons as I used to think before, it seems it gets harder and harder each year. Jeph Loeb must get on the right side of the people behind the scenes of Disney's streaming app to have it as an option, so far I've heard it will just be used for their Star Wars TV live-action shows.

Please renew. Let’s keep this awesome train rolling. It just keeps getting better.

@TheUnworthyThor - Yeah, I'm hoping this gets renewed.

Plus, just the lack of news has me nervous.

@TheUnworthyThor - This is one of my favorite shows atm but if they canceled it, it wouldnt be so bad. They've told a great story over the 5 seasons and it feels like its a good time to end it. On top of that, if Coulson dies in the finale it wouldnt be the same without him. The title of the finale is also "The End" which is pretty fitting.

@TheUnworthyThor - there is rumor Hulu wants it. Guess we will know for sure in the next few days.

I wonder about Gotham. I don't watch it, but I hate it when a show is canceled with a unresolved cliffhanger. It happened with Young Justice, now with Lucifer, and in the past with Lois & Clark. The list goes on.

@Binker - I'm going to guess now that Gotham gets renewed for a final season.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Sounds like a plan to me (as much as it sucks to have a rushed ending (at least they'll have a proper ending with a final season)).

@PrimitiveMan - that's what I'm thinking. They also have been building towards a huge change in the status quo, so I would guess that, coupled with the fact that the recent episode had a huge boost in ratings, will help chances with getting renewed for one more season.

The best comic book show on TV. Really hope we hear great news about renewal in the coming days.

@JK2point0 - Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu are the future. I personally hate having to wait week after week for new episodes of a show to then get hit with a mid-season finale. I prefer the Netflix model with so much more shows at my disposal to move on to once I'm done with a show.

@SonOfAGif - I am 100% the other way. Something to look forward to every week instead of waiting a year for another season. I thought Hulu released an episode a week.

@SonOfAGif - I'm torn. Binging is fun and the excitement of waiting for those shows to drop is fun ... and I think the smart showrunners of those shows play off the fact that people will binge or at least watch in chunks so they don't need to rehash events, account for viewers joining late, etc ...... buuuuuttttt ..... there is still something to be said for shows that come on once a week and knowing that when you come to the places like this you can chat about the same episode because all of the dedicated fans are at the same point in the series.

@ptick - To be honest with you in regards to blogs and forums on episodes it seems people are adapting to the life of social media.

Before we would flock to sites to discuss the last episode of The Walking Dead or The Office. Now thanks to Netflix so many more people are in love with the Office. People are rewatching it left and right without the need to buy the seasons on DVD. Then they create their own memes, gifs, topics on various sites and hundreds of people join in.

Daredevil and the rest of his Marvel co-stars are doing great for Netflix. Stranger Things was more than enough evidence that people love to watch shows in chunks as you said.

I used to look forward to every Tuesday for SHIELD, but work and life have consumed my evenings that I find myself watching shows at my convenience and not at the schedule of the channels they're on.
