Telly’s Take
Since Disney is the parent company for both ABC and Marvel, it seems that perhaps the ratings matter less than promoting the brand. I believe that Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD will be renewed for a sixth and final season. Still, since this fifth season will ensure a good-sized package for syndication, it’s not crazy to think this Marvel Comics Universe series could end here. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on any Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD cancellation or renewal news.
