Marvel’s eight-part series Agent Carter drew to a close on Tuesday evening with the season finale ‘Valediction’ [read our review here], and now writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (whose credits also include Captain America: The First Avenger and its sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier) have been speaking to EW about a potential second season and where it could lead story-wise.
“When we were figuring out the show and the backstory of the show, we had a really nice story about who Peggy is and where she came from. We just didn’t have any time. I would love to tell that story,” states Markus, with McFeely adding, “That’s one of our strongest ideas for the second season: What makes Peggy, Peggy? We like what Peggy is, but if you ask some hard questions, you might wonder: but why is she that way? We have some thoughts on that.”
The duo were then asked whether a second season could explore the Winter Soldier program, McFeely responded that: “It’s a little TBD on that. Because of what we know about Winter Soldier and that Hydra was working all along with S.H.I.E.L.D., it necessitates Peggy having a lot less information than the audience has, so I’m not sure how long we could keep that up—where every time Toby Jones smiles at her, we know something and she doesn’t. We don’t know exactly what Season 2 is yet, or if there is one, so I don’t have a great answer on how we would use him, if at all.”
