After its next and seventh season, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will come to a close. Currently airing its sixth season on ABC, the series will finish out its current run this summer and conclude with 13 more episodes next season.
“When you know that’s what you’re doing, you can take greater risks, of life and death,” said Executive Vice President of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb in an interview with Deadline. “Those kinds of decisions suddenly now are real on the table because you’re not playing how do we undo this when we get to the next season. You’re playing that this is going to be the end of the story.”
“The bitter side is nobody ever wants anything to end, but it’s going to be amazing,” Loeb continued about the end of the series. “And here’s the best news: Season 6 isn’t over, and you’ve seen none of Season 7. That’s the celebration, there’s still more. It’s not as though we’re going to walk off the stage and say goodbye, you’re never going to see another one of these new stories again. You have to see how this ends, you have to.”
With four episodes left in its sixth and penultimate season, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still giving its viewers plenty of time to see how its dramatic end will unfold.
