While the move to Friday nights and continued struggles in the ratings department might have some fans worried about the future of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Season 6 is very much on the table and could be announced as early as this spring.

During ABC’s presentation at the 2018 Television Critics Association winter press tour, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey championed the network’s Marvel drama for its creatively strong storytelling and what’s to come in the back half of the season telling reporters,  “Creatively, this season I honestly think is the strongest that it’s ever been, and we’ve been really excited about what the producers are talking about for the second half of the season.”

Like its Friday night companion Once Upon a Time, Agents of SHIELD enjoys a measurable ratings uptick when delayed viewing is factored into the mix with its increases of 100% – which has played a role in the show’s previous renewals.

Ultimately, the show’s chances of being renewed for a sixth season come down to the creative team’s pitch for Season 6 which could be the deciding factor in the network’s decision to reward the criminally overlooked Marvel drama with a well-deserved sixth season.
