Agents of SHIELD hasn't even premiered yet and Marvel Studios may already be on the verge of developing another series with a similar theme, according to Deadline:
After one such short, Item 47 on The Avengers DVD about the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., led to the new ABC/Marvel series, another one may also spawn a series project for ABC. Marvel is notoriously secretive about their development, and no one would comment, but I hear the company is working on a concept for a potential TV series inspired by Agent Carter, a one shot, which will be featured on the upcoming Blue ray release of Iron Man 3.Interesting. I'm a big fan of Hayley Atwell, but it also seems increasingly unlikely that Atwell would discard a budding film career to go star in a network televison series. Much more likely, on the other hand, is that Emily VanCamp, who is playing an "Agent Carter" in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Solider, would star in such a series. VanCamp is currently active on television, starring on ABC's Revenge, and it seems like a much more obvious move for her, though far less appealing for those who might want a more stylized/interesting World War II/Cold War option.
It is unclear if (Hayley) Atwell would reprise her role if Agent Carter comes to fruition. A Marvel action series with a female lead would fit right into ABC’s wheelhouse of female-skewing dramas with a strong lead and would be a throwback to such network series Alias.
