ABC’s potential “Agents of SHIELD” spinoff series will center on the characters currently played by Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood, TheWrap has learned.
The actors, who are series regulars on the second season of the network’s Marvel series, are finalizing deals to topline the currently untitled spinoff as their characters Bobbi Morse (Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Blood).
ABC had no comment.
“SHIELD” executive producer Jeffrey Bell and writer Paul Zbyszewski are teaming on the project. The spinoff will not receive a backdoor pilot in the current season of “SHIELD,” but relevant plot elements will drop in upcoming episodes.
