Telly’s Take
The network surely had big expectations for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD but the series has never been a hit and the ratings have fallen each season. The numbers for this ABC series have hit some new lows in 2017. The studio has enough episodes for syndication and a replacement Marvel series in the pipeline so it seems like they could let this one go. I don’t expect to see a fifth season of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD but ABC may renew it because having it on the air supports the Marvel brand (which is also owned by Disney).
5/11 update: ABC has renewed Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD for a fifth season. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD TV show would be renewed for a fifth season? Would you have been upset if ABC had cancelled the series instead?
Yes, I would have liked to see a fifth series, but either way, I would Iike to know if the series is being cancelled or not please.
Yes, there should be a Season 5 of Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. especially now that Marvel’s Inhumans is joining Us inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe like they were introduced on Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. so YES RENEW IT!
Well, I hope there is a Season 5. I watch this show so many times and I’m obsessed with it. I’ll watch it on tv that day it comes on and then again on my Hulu account. I’m not sure why the ratings went down but I hope that don’t effect the next season. This show amazing not sure why people would stop watching it at all tbh. I could never figure out what’s going to happen next so it’s not predictable. I’m ready to see what’s going to happen next and where is coulson.
