I hear ABC and Marvel have put the breaks on the proposed Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff. The project was supposed to be set up by events from this season of S.H.I.E.L.D. and toplined by Season 2 cast additions Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood, revolving around their characters Lance Hunter and Barbara “Bobbi” Morse aka Mockingbird. ABC and Marvel had no comment. The project had been developed quietly by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski.

Nooooooooooooooooooo. I was really looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteWell that's very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteEh. This is fine with me. I like both characters well enough but not so much that I wanted an entire show just about them.
ReplyDeleteAwww damn but it was either this or Agent Carter so I'm glad ABC made the right choice. At least Bobbi and Lance won't leave!
ReplyDeleteHere's why Agent Carter didn't get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteThen I'm really happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually kinda fine with this. They can keep the characters on the main show and we get "Agent Carter" too. Win win.
ReplyDeleteThere's that other Marvel project from John Ridley though...
ReplyDeleteNow that's surprising. But I guess this is why we have Agent Carter so I'm fine with it since I have no attachment to the spin off
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to it but hey they can stay on the main show besides we have Agent Carter
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBobbi and Hunter aren't leaving. I was so heartbroken when they announced the cast for the possible spinoff. It makes sense to renew Carter anyway.
I was intrigued by the initial announcement but the idea of three spy shows in the MCU was far too much.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I did not expect this. ABC justs keeps pulling shocker after shocker.
ReplyDeleteOkay, then I am ecstatic about this
ReplyDelete3 shockers:
ReplyDelete1-Galavant renewal
2-American Crime renewal
3-AoS spin off dropped
Semi shock: Agent Carter renewed
DC/WB blowing out Marvel TV.
ReplyDeleteWell atleast we'll getting Agent Carter back. Still don't know the status on that mystery Marvel show with John Ridley,
ReplyDeleteBlame Carter for this xD
ReplyDeleteMarvel has Daredevil though.
ReplyDeleteDareDevil> Anything DC has done
ReplyDeleteI rather have Carter since it has already developed. This spin off never saw the light of day, so I would take Carter any day ;)
ReplyDeleteHuh surprisingly okay with this.
ReplyDeleteGREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBobbi and Hunter are my favorite new characters on the show and I was highly aggravated to hear they could get their own show, they belong on AoS which that cast.
Daredevil is definitely the best. It's not even close.
ReplyDeleteI find the Agent Carter renewal more shocking than Agents of SHIELD spinoff dropoff.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Bobbi and Hunter stay on AoS, I'm good with this, especially if that's why we got to keep Agent Carter. I really didn't want to lose Agent Carter.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the idea of Bobbi and Hunter staying on AOS better.
ReplyDeleteand Marvel TV too. Daredevil is thousand times better than SHIELD xD
ReplyDeleteThe spinoff..... got dropped off.
ReplyDeleteAnd that could also explain why Agent Carter and American Crime were picked up. They were consolation prizes to keep the parties happy.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were gonna pick thsi if Carter was cancelled but i guess they thought the same too. Better one that was already develeped than anew ione which didnt have a pilot yet.
ReplyDeleteAw this is disappointing
ReplyDeleteYou mean to keep Marvel and John Ridley happy? Could be.
ReplyDeleteJohn Ridley wasn't working on the Mockingbird Spinoff
ReplyDeleteI thought that he was. At least, that's the impression Deadline gave.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for an Inhuman or Deathlok spin-off. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteI figured since I don't trust Palicki to carry a show after that Wonder Woman pilot.
ReplyDeleteNah this is was the Deadline Article states ABC and Marvel also are secretly working on a potential series with John Ridley, who will be busy with a second installment of American Crime, just picked up by the network.
ReplyDeleteDC: 1 great-The Flash, 1 ok (this season)-Arrow, 1 meh-Constantine, and 1 insanely awful-Gotham
ReplyDeleteMarvel: 1 awesome-Daredevil, 1 great-SHIELD, and 1 good- Agent Carter............Marvel looks better to me
DAMN IT!!!!!! i wanted to see it
ReplyDeleteTo Be Honest wasn't really looking forward to the Spinoff anyway. Bobbi (Mockingbird) is better just to stay on Agents of Shield
ReplyDeleteAgreed. But in their articles, "secret" project is the one that was passed on.
ReplyDeletedidn't she head Friday Nigh Lights?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteNo Marvel was working on 2 spinoffs last I checked this project was
ReplyDeleteThe project had been developed quietly by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski.Says nothing about John Ridley in that part of the Article
Last I checked Marvel was working on 2 Shows the Spinoff and another show that wasn't announced yet. That Project was being Developed with John Ridley The project had been developed quietly by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski.
ReplyDeleteThose two never interested me for their own show anyway, at least not enough.
ReplyDeleteShe was never really a lead, more part of a large ensemble. She wasn't a regular in every season, either
ReplyDeleteFine with that.... they've haven't done nothing much to impress me enough as characters to follow them over to their own show, but I can deal with them in the ensemble.
ReplyDeleteNo he wasn't, but his Marvel project may have fallen through so ABC just renewed American Crime instead.
ReplyDeleteThey renewed Agent carter instead & we're not losing Bobbi and Hunter-Sounds like Good news to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is fine with me since I didn't want Hunter to leave AOS.
ReplyDeleteMore room for Agent Carter although I prefer the characters that were going to be in the spin-off to those in SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteGood it was possibly a show too far.
ReplyDeleteFor something that never happened I'm OK with it.
ReplyDeleteThat was terrible but I blame the writing and directing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too upset about this but it would have been interesting. Keeping Bobbi and Lance with the main team is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean we get to keep Bobbi and Hunter??? I really need more Hunter/Fitz/Coulson bonding!
ReplyDeleteAww :( Maybe they'll just focus more on them next season...
ReplyDeleteI hope! I really really really like them. We can shed Mack though, cool with that.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeleteGood! More focus on Agent Carter, kthx.
ReplyDeleteThey were so messy about it! I'm really surprised ABC went so random at this project.
ReplyDeleteI assume a better project will be produced next pilot season, with the American Crime producer.
I prefer Carter over this and still do. I didnt need a similar show to AOS where occasionaly characters from both would be in both shows.
ReplyDeleteA period drama/Superhero show with some ties to the MU and Captain America is far far far better. Capping it to a 13 show episode too is far better.
This is what I call a win/win. Agent Carter got renewed and Bobbi and Hunter get to stay on AOS!! I'm pumped. I think Marvel should do an Inhuman spinoff anyway.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'm glad too. Also, Bobbi and Hunter will continue on AoS. So win/win situation!
ReplyDeleteYeah I think I much prefer Bobbi and Lance to stay on SHIELD than having their own spinoff, I just love their interactions with the team so damn much and it will feel odd not having them around anymore. More Coulson/Fitz/Lance next season please! Also Bobbi/May too.
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed, really wanted this spin-off to happen. Hope that Bobbi and Hunter will continue on Agents of SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they'll do an Agent 13 and Maria Hill spinoff. That'd be fun;)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if they really were that messy. They threw the idea around and then decided not to do it. Happens all the time. It is not like they had made an official announcement yet, all what was there were leaked rumours.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the reaction of the fans was the reason, or if they noticed how well Hunter worked in those last episodes in tandem with Coulson and Fitz.
What are you talking about? CW with their Arrow and The Flash line-up is doing exceptionally well for that particular network (on ABC both shows would be up for cancellation), but Constantin and Gotham are both not doing well at all. Constantin is in deep red on the cancellation index and Gotham has been steadily loosing viewers.
ReplyDeleteMarvel on the other hand has with Agent Carter a critically acclaimed show, with Daredevil another darling which was highly praised from all sides and even Agent of Shield has found its pace now.
CW's plans for the future involve this strange "Legends of Tomorrow" show which might or might not work out and DC is launching a Supergirl show.
Meanwhile Marvel has lined up "Aka Jessica Jones", "Luke Cage" and "Iron Fist" for Netflix, after which all four Netflix show are supposed to lead into a Defender series.
And while they have decided against a spin-off they are also developing another series for ABC.
Honestly, I am more excited for what Marvel has to offer. But don't worry. DC still leads in the animation segment.
Why? The ratings were decent (they are only perceived as "bad" because ABC has usually higher expectations) and the show is critically acclaimed.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch SHIELD but followed the news around here on the site. But still the way they handled this is MEH!
ReplyDeleteIt was like we dropped the buzz, than lets see how the people will react, scramble up a cast and than decide. For me that is messy.
I'm just glad Agent Carter got a chance over this.
I would have liked to watch this but i wont loose any sleep over it either since i wasnt attached to it yet and since i will still get the characters on the main show. In addition, i prefer carter renewed if that is what it came down to
ReplyDeleteI loce the hunter, fitz and coulson dynamic haha
ReplyDeleteThat's assuming that the leak was intentional.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think that there is any connection between this and Agent Carter.
Nothing happens unintentionally, that U can be certain of. Those leaks and stuff are all planned.
ReplyDeleteMoney and focus are a part of the decision for sure.
Tell that Sony.
ReplyDeletethe MCU is one of those properties everyone is interested in. This makes it really, really difficult to keep anything under wraps. If it were a smaller property, I would agree, but in this case I am not so sure, mostly because the news about it were actually contradicting each other. One said it is supposed to full season, another talked about it being a bridge, for example. The part about Mockingbird and Hunter being the leads might have been intentional after the cat was out of the bag to gauge the reactions, but I don't think anything else was.
I think this is good news. I could've gone for a Mockingbird show, but I adore Hunter and his relationships with Coulson's team so much that separating him from them would've been a crime.
ReplyDeletePlus, if it came down to this or Agent Carter, AC is definitley the right choice.
It BETTER. Anyone who dares to remove Nick/Hunter from the MCU altogether will face my wrath!
ReplyDeleteGod, I love those mindless fanboy comments with no reason behind them.
ReplyDeleteSure, if you think having 100000000 different shows spread across every network or cable channel is preferable to actual good writing with nuanced characters and cohesive storylines that come together, then DC/WB is winning. I tend to prefer the Marvel approach, though.
I guess it's a good thing, it was definitely too soon and I want them to stay in AOS.
ReplyDeleteRumors always float around, just look at the CW spin off. When U have a news, everyone spins it the way it benefits them. But the leak or whatever was most likely intentionally, at least from my pov. At this point we'll have to agree to disagree.
ReplyDeletecomparing Daredevil to shield is silly Daredevil is so dark that you can't mention shield with it its in a category by its self
ReplyDeletei really do enjoy The Flash by DC shield and agent carter comming back is good news also
ReplyDeleteyea maybe but The Flash and Arrow our still very good shows though so i watch both arrow and flash along with shield and carter
ReplyDeletei would love to see more agent 13 actually but outside of her involvement with captain america not sure what else she does in the comics
ReplyDeleteI hope the other secret John Ridley spin off still happens though I think it may stay in development for a while before its announced.
ReplyDeleteWell, she killed him.
ReplyDeleteI find The Flash fun but not nearly as complex and well-written as AoS, and Arrow, this season, is dreadfully boring and full of two-dimensional, unappealing characters making stupid and predictable decisions to serve a storyline that moves at a snail's pace. I honestly have no idea what people still see in this show.
ReplyDeletei'm sad, i think AoS is too crowded with characters at the moment and it would have been nice to split them up so that both teams could have better character development
ReplyDeletethis is actually good since we getting more carter
ReplyDeleteThe spin off was supposed to include Bobbi and Hunter. Since the AoS season finale would have been shot weeks ago when the spin off was still in the works, this means that both Bobbi and Hunter will survive whatever happens in the finale. It does not necessarily guarantee that both of them will remain on the show. An exit by either or both of them, or a demotion to recurring is still possible.
ReplyDeleteGood news. Bobbi leaving for the new show I could have taken. But loosing Hunter would have been really sad. And also I don't want to see a series based on the messed up relationship between Bobbi and Hunter. That is the least appealing thing about their characters.
ReplyDeleteDon't like Bobby. Love Hunter. I hope he stays on AOS
ReplyDeleteGreat news, could care less about Bobbi but love Hunter!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad it's not going forward.Shield does not have enough followers right now to justify a spinoff. They need to streamline their current cast and work on great storylines before they can EVEN think of a spinoff.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't excited about the spinoff but i agree. This show is too crowed right now. 8 main cast members and a bunch of guest is too much. Most character suffer from lack of development. Now i wonder if they will keep Bobbi and Hunter as main characters on the show.
ReplyDeleteI think it had more to do with the idea of the show. I like both characters but i have no idea how they would be able to produce another show with them without being SHIELD 2.0.
ReplyDeleteIt's good. Bobbi and Hunter are better on the aos but now they will have to solve the overcrowed situation the show is having specially if they wan to move foward with the inhumans storyline.
ReplyDeleteGood, I prefer them to stay in Agents of SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it sounded too much like Agents of SHIELD to be interesting.
Been wondering what happened with that. I'm haven't heard anything in two or three weeks, when word had it that series was centered on Kamala Khan.
ReplyDeleteIt just may of been put in the back burner for now.
ReplyDeleteAnd SHIELD cant be dark? c'mon they both Marvel shows that's why im comparing them.
ReplyDeleteomg yes!!! I'm so here for more Coulson/Fitz/Lance fighting crime together lol..it was a lot of fun those three together
ReplyDeleteTrue. I think some people might leave after this season finale..Mack is one of them. Ward just needs to go, he doesn't fit in the show anymore. I think the inhumans storyline may have a pause after this finale..with Civil War coming in S3 there will be a lot more other things to worry about
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to provide backup for you! He's really grown on me.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone, especially Hunter, goes before Ward, I'm going to be so freaking pissed off. Mr. No Storyline Other Than Appeasing Fangirls is clearly the biggest dead weight on the show right now.
ReplyDeleteWe have to see who will die first. Cal, Kara, Mac and the inhumans are on the watch list. Ward will survive but hopefully they cut him off at some point during season 3. He really doesn't fit anymore. Most people don't like him and don't him back to the team.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I prefer having Bobbi and Hunter around. They fit in. Ward doesn't. I have no idea what they will do with his character on season 3 but hopefully he won't stick long.
ReplyDeleteHunter is one of my favorite characters on the show, and i love his connecion with the team, so i'm glad the will stay..Bobbi is kind of a mess right now, but hopefully she will be better again in S3...but Ward has nothing to do on the show anymore..a large part of the fandom don't like him so it's very okat for him to leave. I mean, we lost a great character this season (Trip), and wtf Ward is still doing in AoS?
ReplyDeleteYes. I know I'm in the minority here...but I really didn't want another spin-off. I just feel like it's too much, and I wasn't completely behind a show with Bobbi and Hunter. I mean I like them on Shield, but I couldn't imagine watching them every episode with a 12 episode season. Just isn't my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteNo way does Mockingbird get relegated to recurring. Plus they made Palacki a series regular this year. Hunter as been one of the most beloved characters this season. He's not going anywhere. In fact, I'm guessing he becomes a series regular as well.
ReplyDeleteOh well. Probably best that they focus on AoS and Agent Carter.
