Season chronology | |
The second season of the American television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division), revolves around the character of Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and allies, who attempt to rebuild the organization following its collapse by the infiltration of the terrorist organization Hydra. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and other television series of the franchise, and was produced by ABC Studios, Marvel Television, and Mutant Enemy Productions. Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jeffrey Bell served as showrunners.
A second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was ordered in May 2014, and production began that July. Alongside Clark Gregg, who reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, principal cast members Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge return from the first season, and are joined by Nick Blood and Adrianne Palicki. Several other characters from MCU films and Marvel One-Shots also appear throughout the season. Some episodes directly crossover with the television series Agent Carter and the film Avengers: Age of Ultron, while the introduction of the Inhumans sets up the planned film of the same name and creates connections to the film Guardians of the Galaxy.
