Next week’s premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. marks the first step for Marvel Studios’ cinematic universe to move to the small screen and it now looks like a second ongoing series might be on the way.

Deadline reports that Marvel is looking at expanding the new “One-Shot” short film, Agent Carter, into its own television show.

Directed by Louis D’Esposito, the Agent Carter short features Captain America: The First Avenger star Hayley Atwell, reprising her role as Peggy Carter in a story that looks at the origins of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization.

Carter is a budding secret agent after her boyfriend is stranded in ice. The clip previews the short (watch it below) This pulp style art has fans buzzing and hopeful the show comes to fruition.

When Agent Carter was screened at Comic-Con, Marvel Studios executive producer Victoria Alonso shouted out during the subsequent Q&A session (referring to “S.H.I.E.L.D.”) “Will you do the TV series, Hayley?”

“Well, if the scripts are good,” Atwell smiled back.

Fans can check out “Agent Carter” when it hits home video as an extra Blu-Ray feature on Iron Man 3 September 24.
