It feels like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been on the brink of cancellation for a number of years - partially because, well, it has - with the show scoring unlikely renewals after Seasons 4 and 5 respectively, and Disney even stepping in to save it from cancellation back in 2017.

That's certainly a good thing because, after some uneven years, 4 and especially 5 took the series to new heights. It broke free from its more standard procedural trappings and was able to be bolder, darker, and weirder than before, and it resulted in a much stronger series as a result - but the damage had largely been done.

S.H.I.E.L.D. scored a renewal for a shortened sixth season, with a similarly shortened seventh season announced too since ABC can film them back-to-back. That's a lot of cost-cutting to keep the show around, and it's the kind of move that suggests they're winding down the series, but will still give the creators the chance to write a proper ending. Clark Gregg himself has suggested Season 7 could be the last, and with Disney Plus on the horizon and so many MCU shows in the works, there's logic in Disney now allowing this one to go. It'll definitely be back in 2020, but don't be surprised if it's announced this year that Season 7 will be the last.
