For all of you comic book fans, this is probably one of your happiest days. Joss Whedon, producer of such shows as Firefly and Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, has been given the go ahead for a TV series which is based off of characters from the Avengers. According to multiple sites, the series will be called "S.H.I.E.L.D."
S.H.I.E.L.D is (comic book nerds are going to kill me if i get something wrong) an espionage and secret militaritan law enforcement agency founded after the Second World War by Agent Nick Fury. S.H.I.E.L.D has served multiple purposes in the marvel universe, most notably recruiting heroes into the Avengers initiative.
The pilot script has reportedly been completed, and should be airing on ABC some time in the near (or far, you never know) future. Some background on Joss Whedon:
Mr. Whedon is a screenwriter, executive producer, and film and television director, among many other things. Some of his more recent works have been on the 2012 film adaptation of the Avengers (writer), the 2012 horror film the Cabin in the Woods (co-writer, producer), and some am d ount of comic books and online media, much of it achieving cult status.
So what do you think? Will it be a complete flop, or could it possibly save ABC from boring teenage sitcoms?
