We're sure you'll be very pleased to know that the highly praised Agent Carter series, starring Hayley Atwell, has been picked up by FOX in the UK and will begin to air the first season on 1st July, 2015.

The first eight-episode season of Agent Carter was first shown in the US, during the mid-season gap for Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and there's been a lot of praise for the show. Because of this a lot of people thought Channel 4 would pick it up in the UK as it currently airs sister show Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D, but the TV channel said it had no plans to show it, leading people to wonder who was going to pick it up. Luckly FOX has decided to take it on and it won't be long before we can start viewing.

Here's the official description from ABC, who have already renewed it for a second season in the US.


<blockquote>
<span>“</span> “It’s 1946 and Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell reprising her role from Marvel’s “Captain America” films) is working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve). Relegated to administrative work, she is bored and frustrated. Sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves, Agent Carter is a highly trained field agent and her male colleagues have made a huge mistake underestimating her. When old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger) finds himself being framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons, he contacts Peggy - the only person he can trust - to track down those responsible, dispose of the weapons and clear his name.<br><br>If caught going on these secret missions for Stark, Peggy could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison - or worse. As she delves deeper into her investigation, she discovers things are not as they seem. Is Stark as innocent as he claims? Marvel’s Agent Carter also stars James D’Arcy (Broadchurch) as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill, A Cinderella Story) as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj (Dollhouse) as Agent Daniel Sousa and Shea Whigham (American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street) as Chief Roger Dooley.”<span>”</span>
