AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Fate On ABC Remains Unclear While INHUMANS Is As Good As Officially Cancelled
ABC boss Channing Dungey has weighed in on the futures of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Inhumans and it doesn't sound like Marvel's future on the network is looking particularly bright. Read on for details!
ABC hasn't found a great deal of success when it comes to its Marvel TV shows with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ratings a fraction of what they were when it debuted and Agent Carter cancelled after just two seasons. A handful of pilots have failed to get off the ground as well and Inhumans was a flop.
At the TCA press tour, ABC entertainment chief Channing Dungey said that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "creative this season I honestly think is the strongest that it’s ever been, and we’ve been really excited about what the producers are talking about for the second half of the season." However, when pushed for news on a sixth season, she said the studio is waiting to hear from producers to "make a better determination about whether were going to order another season or not."
As for Inhumans, Dungey stopped short of officially confirming that the critically panned series has been cancelled but it doesn't sound good (despite fans hoping it could come back with a new showrunner). "It didn’t perform for us at the level that we would have wanted. We haven’t made any official decisions yet but I will say the numbers were less exciting for us as we hoped they would be."
As for Marvel's future on the network, "We’ve tried a few things that haven’t worked out as well as we would have liked," she explained. "We developed a couple things this season that we don’t think are going to end up going forward, so we’re going to look really carefully about what we do next."
