According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has canceled the series. Since star Hayley Atwell signed to ABC's new procedural "Conviction," her odds at filming both series was suspect, especially considering ABC's hopes for the new series. Additionally, the second season closed with series-low ratings, which further put the show's chances of renewal in jeopardy. During the lead up to this decision, executive producer Tara Butters encouraged fans to Tweet their support for the show. Fans took to Twitter to show support for the cult favorite series, using the hashtag #RenewAgentCarter to urge ABC to renew the show. "Agent Carter" season two concluded with a cliffhanger; one of the show's recurring characters, Chief Jack Thompson, was shot in his hotel by a mysterious figure in black, who took several forged documents that accuse Peggy of heinous war crimes. The finale also saw the demise of Whitney Frost and the first step in Peggy and Sousa's budding romantic relationship. "Agent Carter" season two is now available for streaming on Amazon. Also... ABC will have a smaller Marvel presence this coming TV season than in recent years, as the network has officially passed on planned "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." spinoff "Marvel's Most Wanted," as reported Thursday by The Hollywood Reporter. The show, which made it to the pilot stage, was to star "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." vets Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood, in their roles as Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter. Following the cancellation of "Agent Carter," which was reported earlier on Thursday, ABC will have just one Marvel Television series on its 2016-2017 lineup; "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," entering its fourth season. It's not yet known if Palicki and Blood, who were "S.H.I.E.L.D." regulars and departed the show midway through its current season, will return to the flagship series now that "Marvel's Most Wanted" isn't moving forward. "Marvel's Most Wanted" was headed by "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski, whose credits also include "Hawaii Five-0," "Lost" and "Day Break." Delroy Lindo was cast as long-running Marvel Comics character Dominic Fortune, and Oded Fehr and Fernanda Andrade were also part of the pilot cast. It remains to be seen if these actors will appear on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in any capacity. "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

We already know what happens to the character in CA:CW but there is still a lot more stories to tell. Hopefully, she stays to at least make cameos in flashbacks. I wish Netflix would pick it up even though it isn't part of their other Marvel series.
