The second and final season of the American television series
Agent Carter
, which is inspired by the 2011 film
Captain America: The First Avenger
and the 2013
Marvel One-Shot
short film of
the same name
,
[1]
features the character
Peggy Carter
, based on the
Marvel Comics
character
of the same name
, as she moves to
Los Angeles
to deal with the threats of the new atomic age in the wake of
World War II
, gaining new friends, a new home, and potential new love. It is set in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe
(MCU), sharing continuity with
the films of the franchise
, and was produced by
ABC Studios
,
Marvel Television
, and
Fazekas & Butters
. Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, and Chris Dingess served as
showrunners
.
In May 2015, a second season of
Agent Carter
was ordered, with
Hayley Atwell
, who reprises her role from the film series and One-Shot as Carter, returning to star. Alongside her,
James D'Arcy
,
Chad Michael Murray
, and
Enver Gjokaj
also return from the
first season
. Filming took place in Los Angeles in late 2015, with the season contrasting the lives of Carter and the
Hedy Lamarr
-inspired
Whitney Frost
, portrayed by recurring guest star
Wynn Everett
. Visual and practical effects were mixed to realize the setting and more fantastical elements of the series, while
David Zippel
and
Louis van Amstel
provided a musical dream sequence for the season. Other characters from previous MCU media also appear, as well as elements shared with the films and the television series
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The season, which aired on
ABC
from January 19 to March 1, 2016, over 10 episodes, aired during the
season three
mid-season break of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
, receiving generally positive reviews. Critics praised the performances, setting, and the character development of Whitney Frost, but some elements, such as the season's ending and humor, were criticized, and viewership for the season was deemed too low. ABC canceled
Agent Carter
on May 12, 2016.

Development
[

In January 2015,
showrunners
Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters confirmed that
Agent Carter
was not intended to be a
miniseries
, and that a possible second season would not necessarily be limited to eight episodes like the
first
.
[24]
The series was renewed for a second season on May 7, 2015,
[25]
intended to debut in 2016 of the
2015?16 season
during the midseason break of the
third season
of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
[1]
[26]
Later in May,
Hayley Atwell
stated the season would consist of 10 episodes.
[27]
Butters explained that this would probably not allow for any standalone episodes, "but I definitely think it allows for more character, because we can have more personal stories built into the framework of the overall arching mystery".
[28]
Writing
[
edit
]
What I love about LA that is different than New York is you have the spectacular wealth and glamour and beauty right next to the grit and crime, often right up against each other. So I love telling those stories. I love ugly things happening in beautiful places. We're very much being inspired by noir films. We keep talking about
L.A. Confidential
and
Chinatown
and those great stories where you find out one thing?you're investigating one seemingly isolated crime, and it unveils a huge web of conspiracy and awfulness. So we're getting inspired by that.
?Executive producer Michele Fazekas on the difference between the first and second seasons' locations.
[12]
Before the second season was announced, Fazekas said that "We've certainly been talking about what a second season would look like...what's great about the structure of this show is, you can tell so many different stories and go so many different directions."
[29]
Thus, Butters said of the first season storyline featuring
Leviathan
, "we wrapped up that story" already, with
Toby Jones
' cameo as
Arnim Zola
in the first-season finale just "a fun tie-in" rather than something that would be followed up on in the second season.
[30]
Series creators
Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely
revealed they "had a really nice story about who Peggy is and where she came from" that did not make it into the first season, but they hoped could be explored in a second,
[31]
while Fazekas and Butters also revealed that there had been a story about Carter having "a night out with the girls" to explore her personal life, as well as more material for the character Angie, that they felt would both be easier to tell in a second season.
[32]
Season two is set in 1947, approximately six months to a year following the events of the first,
[33]
[34]
with the time jump made to show "people are in a little bit different positions, and things have happened between these seasons that we maybe don't know about."
[35]
Fazekas noted that "the challenge" for the season was to find a way to reunite Carter with
Edwin Jarvis
since he is "not an agent....that's a really important relationship, how do we keep them together?...The nice thing about Peggy this season is she's not having to hide her agenda from the SSR. [Jarvis] is helping her out, just in a different way."
[36]
Elaborating on the SSR's role in the season, Fazekas explained that when Markus and McFeely created the organisation for
Captain America: The First Avenger
it was inspired by the
Office of Strategic Services
(OSS), which was "somewhat disbanded after the war, because it was created because of
World War II
. So now that the war is over, things are changing. And in real history, the OSS sort of became the
CIA
and some of its other functions went under other departments. There's a little bit of change going on within SSR and so Thompson [is now the New York SSR chief, but he] has a boss [in
Vernon Masters
] that's going to be saying, "Look, things are changing, and you need to look out for yourself.""
[12]
[17]
The season also sees
Daniel Sousa
promoted to the chief of the Los Angeles SSR office.
[37]
The fictional company Isodyne Energy, who is involved with nuclear testing in the desert, was influenced by the real life 1940s companies such as Radiodyne,
General Atomics
or the beginnings of the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
, "all of which were in L.A. in the '40s, and were developing the space program and were developing nukes."
[30]
Additionally, the season avoids depicting real life Hollywood stars from the 1940s because "the focus would shift from story to: does that person look or sound like an actor?" Instead, the character
Whitney Frost
is depicted as an actress "who will have a part to play in our larger storyline."
[28]
The season introduces the
Council of Nine
, based on the
Secret Empire
, who "meet at the Arena Club, which is like this social club of white guys. They're just the guys who sort of run the world. They have orchestrated assassinations. We insinuate that they orchestrated the
1929 Stock Market crash
." Members of the Council include powerful businessmen
Calvin Chadwick
and
Hugh Jones
, and their influence extends to "high levels of the government" as seen with
War Department
veteran
Vernon Masters
. Despite close similarities between the "A" symbol of the Arena Club and a
Hydra
symbol introduced in the third season of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
, Fazekas stated that she "would not say" there was a connection between the Council and Hydra.
[38]
With the introduction of
Jason Wilkes
and Frost, both considered "outsiders" as Carter was in the first season, co-showrunner Chris Dingess noted how their arcs in the season would be similar, yet different from Carter's, saying "I think everyone, to get to that place of getting respect, has a different road to get there. Everyone makes different choices along the way that define that road and I think with these three characters, everyone has a distinct, separate path."
[35]
Atwell spoke specifically about the season's approach to diversity and prejudice, and noted that the series' crew had expanded to include African American and Asian writers as well as a female director. "Since the first season heavily focused on a woman in a man's world," Atwell said, "we're now going into more diversity and we're investigating different prejudices within this time and one of them absolutely would have been race, as we all know....if you have a staunchly white male cast then it might be more accurate of the time, but it becomes less relatable to our audiences, especially when the Marvel world's so diverse."
[39]
On the racism issue, Butters stated, "We didn't want to just have an African-American character and not talk about that. That would have been very inauthentic."
[40]
As for the sexism Frost faces, Gina McIntyre and Andrea Towers of
Entertainment Weekly
saw similarities with
Jessica Jones
when Frost is asked to smile by two different men in her flashbacks in "
Smoke & Mirrors
". Towers said, "The talent agent [who asks Frost to smile] may not be the
Purple Man
, but Whitney is certainly being ushered into a brainwashed mindset that will set her on a path she can't deviate from easily."
[41]
At the conclusion of the season, Fazekas recalled the potential story revolving around Carter having a girls night out, saying that they realized that "once Peggy is on the mission, it starts to become difficult for her to have a social life...we kept sort of punting that scene because every time we tried to do it, it was like, 'She's not going to stop to go out to dinner. She has the world to save.'" Also, they felt they were not properly servicing Angie's character, instead "just sticking her in scenes just to be there," resulting in the decision to ultimately not bring Angie back for the season as planned. In her place, the characters of
Ana Jarvis
and
Rose Roberts
are featured as confidante's for Carter, "both people who are 100% in on Peggy's secret. Angie sort of figures it out at the end of the first season but Ana and Rose?there is no need to hide the truth from them. So it makes it a lot easier for her to confide in them."

Dottie Underwood
) and
Lyndsy Fonseca
(
Angie Martinelli
) return for the season.
[11]
At

, features many of the professional dancers from that series, including
Louis van Amstel
,
Dmitry Chaplin
,
Karina Smirnoff
,
Anna Trebunskaya
,
Sasha Farber
, and
Damian Whitewood
. Dancers
Robert Roldan
, Malene Ostergaard, Amanda Balen, Serge Onik, Jenya Shatilova, Lacey Escabar, Alla Kocherga, and Paul Kirkland are also featured in the sequence.
[23]
Design
[
edit
]
Series costume designer Giovanna Ottobre-Melton took inspiration from the films
L.A. Confidential
(1997),
Chinatown
(1974), and
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
(1988) to "represent the West Coast", and the "sunshine noir" feel of the era for the season. The then-just introduced "
Dior New Look
" is also referenced "with longer hemlines on supporting players."
[44]
The dream sequence at the beginning of "
A Little Song and Dance
" was choreographed by
Louis van Amstel
and begins in black and white, before transitioning to color.
[23]
Head of make-up Debra LaMia Denaver explained that for the Zero Matter "wound" on Frost's face, the "guidelines were for it to be like a cracked porcelain doll and then the black matter would come from inside out. From there, Jay [Wejebe, makeup artist] designed the prosthetics that we use and Robin [Beauchesne, key makeup artist] created all the different avenues the dark matter takes." Using reference photographs and pre-made prosthetics, the make-up team were ultimately able to apply the effect to Everett in 30 minutes.
[45]
Filming
[
edit
]
Filming for the season began on August 31,
[46]
and ended on December 19, 2015,
[47]
with Edward J. Pei serving as director of photography.
[48]
Unlike the first season, episodes were filmed concurrently, two at a time.
[49]
Discussing the series' location move, Head of
Marvel Television
Jeph Loeb
explained that "
Agent Carter
season one took place in New York in 1946. It wasn't like we could go to New York and find 1946, so we shot in L.A. But that's part of the reason that when we talked about it, we said, 'You know what? This season let's stay in L.A.' Because so much of L.A. still looks like it did in 1946."
[50]
Butters expanded by saying the move to L.A. "was something we had talked about in the middle of the first season...[and] we realized that not only was it a good idea for the storytelling, but also...it's much easier for us to shoot L.A. for L.A. than try to shoot L.A. for New York." She added the season hoped to film at
Musso & Frank Grill
, the
Formosa Cafe
, the
Griffith Observatory
, racetracks, piers, and other locations in
Downtown Los Angeles
.
[28]
The
Universal Studios Lot
serves as the backlot for the film studio Stark starts, Stark Pictures, with filming also taking place at the
Los Angeles River
.
[35]
The
Dunbar Hotel
, a famous jazz club where both African-Americans and Caucasians would attend, is portrayed in the season.
[17]
The showrunners looked to the films
L.A. Confidential
,
Chinatown
,
The Big Heat
(1953), and
The Lady from Shanghai
(1947) when shaping the visuals for the season, with additional research provided by Pei. Butters said, "it doesn't feel like a different show. It just feels like an evolution of the show."
[35]
Visual effects
[
edit
]
DNeg TV
provided the visual effects for the season, with Sheena Duggal returning as visual effects supervisor. Effects created for the season included the Zero Matter and its related properties, such as people being frozen and shattered by it, the dimensional rifts and the levitated objects that get sucked into them, and Wilkes becoming intangible. Frost's Zero Matter "crack" on her face was also augmented with visual effects, to add depth, sentience, and an "infinite black" by color-correcting the image, with the effects animators studying "cracking glass to better capture the animation effect."
[45]
20 cast members were digitally scanned and modeled for interaction with Zero Matter, while many other instances required facial tracking markers on actors. For the Zero Matter itself, the design was described as a cross between "liquid spiders" and magnetic
ferrofluid
, the latter being used as an on set reference for the actors by Duggal. The main dimensional rifts were designed as black holes, based on the work of theoretical physicist
Kip Thorne
, which also inspired Double Negative's visual effects for
Interstellar
; the software developed for the film was reused for the series.
[51]
DNeg TV also worked on
Howard Stark
's Hover car, using the original computer asset for the version seen in
Captain America: The First Avenger
. Despite the original car from the film being only a shell and destroyed after the picture, an identical
Cadillac
was found for DNeg to laser scan and incorporate into the episode along with the real car when it is parked on the ground.
[42]
Music
[
edit
]
The dance number used in the dream sequence from "A Little Song and Dance" was an original song from lyricist
David Zippel
and series composer
Christopher Lennertz
, in conjunction with Butters and Fazekas.
[23]
Titled "Whatcha Gonna Do (It's Up to You)", the single was performed by Atwell and Gjokaj along with the
Hollywood Studio Symphony
, and was released on
iTunes
on March 18, 2016.
[52]
Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins
[
edit
]
In July 2015, Butters revealed that the season would feature the
Darkforce
, which ties to the characters
Doctor Strange
and
Marcus Daniels
, the latter having appeared in
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
[53]
In January 2016, Fazekas elaborated, saying that the Darkforce, known as Zero Matter in the series, is the result of a nuclear test gone wrong by Isodyne Energy. Looking to the history of the Darkforce in the comics, Fazekas and Butters "were able to select what we liked and sort of make our own rules as to what it does, how it operates, and who it affects in our world."
[30]
The producers tried to take a scientific approach to the explanation of the Zero Matter, consulting with
theoretical physicist
Clifford Johnson
to help ground it in science.
[35]
[54]
Johnson provided the science equations seen on blackboards throughout the season, as well as real world reference for the Zero Matter containment systems.
[51]
The showrunners also conversed with Eric Carroll at
Marvel Studios
to ensure anything they were doing with the Darkforce would not contradict the
Doctor Strange
script,
[55]
and to see if they could destroy
Howard Stark
's hover car, which was originally seen as a prototype in
Captain America: The First Avenger
.
[42]
[55]
The mention in the season finale of the land Stark owns in Malibu is a reference to what will become the location for the home of his son,
Tony
, in the MCU films.
[56]
Marketing
[
edit
]
Footage from the first episode was screened at
New York Comic Con
in October 2015,
[57]
while the first trailer for the season was released in November. Alice Walker of
Screen Rant
felt that the promo "highlight[ed] the best parts of the show", calling it "[f]ast paced and slick" and Atwell "still incredibly charming". She further noted that "There is a long way to go before we see if they can build on the momentum from the previous season, but so far it looks like a fun adventure."
[58]
Conversely, Kaitlin Thomas at
TV.com
called the promo "weird", asking, "Why is ABC marketing
Agent Carter
like it's one of the network's casually daft melodramas instead of a well-written drama[?]...From a tonal and thematic standpoint, the series depicted in that trailer feels like the polar opposite of what it actually is....cutting together a bunch of scenes of Peggy punching people or holding a gun does not make her a badass when its framed in this way, and frankly, it's no wonder people aren't tuning in if that's the type of show they think this is."
[59]
In March 2016, Maureen Ryan, writing for
Variety
, described the season's promotion as "lackluster", and blamed "the botched rollout of Season 2" for the season's ultimately poor viewership.
[60]
Release
[

Broadcast
[

Season two of
Agent Carter
premiered on January 19, 2016, on
ABC
with a two-hour premiere,
[61]
during the midseason break of the third season of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
[26]
It was originally scheduled to premiere on January 5, 2016, but was delayed due to an "earlier than usual"
2016 State of the Union Address
.
[61]
The season aired until March 1, 2016.
[62]
Home media
[
edit
]
On November 29, 2017,
Hulu
acquired the exclusive streaming rights to the series,
[63]
and the season was made available on
Disney+
at launch, on November 12, 2019.

Ratings
[
edit
]
The season averaged 4.37 million total viewers, including from DVR, ranking 109th among network series in the
2015?16 television season
. It also had an average total 18-49 rating of 1.4, which was 88th.
[72]
Critical response
[
edit
]
The
review aggregator
website
Rotten Tomatoes
reported a 76% approval rating with an average rating of 7.96/10 based on 21 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "A move from New York to Hollywood gives Agent Carter new territory to explore, as the series continues to search for a storyline as dynamic as its heroine."
[73]
Variety
'
s Brian Lowry was less positive, praising the casting and performances but saying, "
Agent Carter
feels too slavishly locked into the
S.H.I.E.L.D.
formula...it's sort of a shame
Agent Carter
isn't more compelling, since the impeccable period trappings and costumes make the series a nice change of pace, at least visually."
[74]
Eric Goldman of
IGN
gave the season an 8.3 out of 10, praising Atwell's performance, as well as the return of Dottie in the season and the additions of Ana Jarvis and Whitney Frost. Conversely, he felt Reggie Austin as Jason Wilkes was likable, but ultimately the "character felt a bit bland" and that the humor in the season was pushed "a bit too far". He concluded, "I don't think [the season] was quite as tightly-constructed as Season 1 and tonally, it sometimes wrestled with finding the right balance between the cool spy-action elements and the likable comedic aspect... But overall, it was another fun season filled with compelling characters?including a strong villain?and 1940s, Marvel-flavored spy heroics, which benefitted from the new visuals the Los Angeles setting gave it."
[75]
Molly Freeman, reviewing the season finale for
Screen Rant
, called the season as a whole "Excellent", particularly praising the character development given to the character of Whitney Frost, but criticized the way that the season ended that character's storyline, stating that the finale "does a disservice to all the character development of Whitney throughout season 2....for the sake of sweeping her aside as easily as possible and giving the other cast members more development and screen time. After watching
Agent Carter
develop Whitney as such a powerful and sympathetic villain earlier this season, the way the show wrapped up her storyline is a disappointment."
[76]
Bob Chipman, in a review of the whole season for the same website, disagreed, calling the season "consistently disappointing" and "a letdown" compared to the previous season.
[77]
