Why did SHIELD get Cancelled?

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is a superhero-drama set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and based on the fictional organization SHIELD.

Despite coming under criticism for its lack of involvement within the MCU itself, it does follow the events of the film franchise, with stories influenced by the wider actions of the expansive universe. Its place in the MCU is frequently questioned, however.

The final season aired on ABC between May and August 2020 for 13 episodes.

When Will Season 7 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD be on Netflix?

That means we were originally expecting season 7 to hit Netflix in September 2020 but we now know that season 7 of Agents of SHIELD will release on Netflix on October 30th, 2020.

The reason we originally said September was because of how previous seasons have landed on Netflix. Season 6, for instance, was broadcast on August 2nd, 2019, and was made available to stream on Netflix the following month on September 1st, 2019.

When will Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD leave Netflix?

Naturally, with the release of Disney+ many Marvel fans will have expected to see Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD on the new streaming service. The reason why this hasn’t happened yet is that the series is under a legacy contract between Netflix and Disney.

Once the final season is available to stream on Netflix there will be a limited period of time left before Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD leaves the service. However long this period will be is unclear but it will likely last at least between 1 to 3 years.

When the series finally leaves Netflix it will be available to stream on Disney+ or Hulu.

"The secret is out. For decades, your organization stayed in the shadows, hiding the truth, but now we know they're among us. Heroes... and monsters. The world is full of wonders... We can't explain everything we see. But our eyes are open. So what now? There are no more shadows for you to hide in. Something impossible just happened. What are you going to do about it?"―Skye[src]

The First Season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered on September 24, 2013 on ABC.

Synopsis

Fresh from his role in the summer's box office smash The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D.. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven't been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward, an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May; and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons. They'll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye.

Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D. agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.

Plot

Phil Coulson, Grant Ward, and Maria Hill.

Several months after the end of the Attack on the Helicarrier, Phil Coulson, now alive and well after his apparent murder at the hands of the Asgardian Loki, puts together a small, highly trained team of agents to tackle the cases that have not been classified yet. They focus on the new, the strange and the unknown. The team consists of specialist Agent Grant Ward, an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May; and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons.

Michael Peterson is cornered while in a cafe by Skye.

On their first mission, the team tracked down unregistered superhuman Mike Peterson, and in the process recruited a young computer hacker named Skye. With Skye's help, the team uncovered a plot run by a secret Project that was using a new formula that combined elements of the Super Soldier Serum, Extremis, Gamma Radiation, and Chitauri technology to create ultimate super soldiers. The team confronted Peterson, the enemy Project's newest guinea pig, at a train station and subdued him.

For the following months, the team was charged with various missions, including recovering an 0-8-4 in Peru, rescuing scientist Franklin Hall, procuring an Asgardian weapon from a hostile group of Norse Paganists, and preventing the spread of an extraterrestrial infection.

The Centipede Project warehouse in Hong Kong.

The biggest threat faced by the team was the Centipede Project, a mysterious operation being controlled by a mysterious figure known only as the "Clairvoyant". The group is responsible for Mike Peterson's powers, and continually challenged Coulson's team, through various means such as former S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Akela Amador, whom the team saved from the organization's control.

Having decided to stop Centipede once and for all, Coulson and his team brought in Peterson, who had enrolled in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, in tracking down the leaders of the project.

Resurrection of Phil Coulson.

The subsequent hunt resulted in both Coulson and Peterson being abducted by Centipede scientist Raina, whom the Clairvoyant tasked with discovering the secret behind Coulson's revival. During his time in captivity, Coulson was subjected to a Theta Brain-Wave Frequency Machine and discovered the truth behind his resurrection: after his death, Nick Fury ordered that Coulson be brought Project T.A.H.I.T.I., a top-secret operation whose purpose was to find a way to resurrect its subjects, where Coulson was subjected to numerous drugs and procedures that were so painful, Coulson was no longer the man he was previous to his death. He had "lost the will to live".

In order to restore his spirit, Coulson's memories had to be re-written so the trauma of the experience would not be remembered. Not long after he learned this, his team came to his aid and rescued him, having been under the charge of Agent Victoria Hand.

Bus surrounded by F-35.

After a mission at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, the team learned that corrupt industrialist Ian Quinn was in league with the Clairvoyant and pursued him to Italy, where Skye discovered Peterson is in fact alive, but was under the control of the Clairvoyant. Quinn shot Skye and wounded her fatally. To save her life, the team joined with Ward's former commanding officer, John Garrett and Antoine Triplett. The group traveled to the Guest House, the facility where Coulson was revived, and recovered a drug from there called GH.325. Simmons injected the drug into Skye to regenerate her body and heal her. However, while there, Coulson discovered that the drugs actually originated from a dead alien organism, and feared the effects the drugs might have on Skye.

S.H.I.E.L.D. working with Sif.

While Skye recovered, the team met the Asgardian Sif, and helped her apprehend Lorelei, a rogue Asgardian war criminal with the ability to bend the minds of men to her will. After she was captured and taken back to Asgard, Coulson's team began an operation to finally locate the Clairvoyant. However, their efforts were hindered by Peterson, who had been labeled "Deathlok" by S.H.I.E.L.D. after the project that gave him his new leg; while all of this was happening, HYDRA's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. was exposed by Captain America, and S.H.I.E.L.D. fell into anarchy. Believing Coulson and his team to be HYDRA loyalists, Agent Hand attempted to terminate the team.

HYDRA reveals itself within S.H.I.E.L.D.

The team was able to convince her otherwise, as Agent Garrett revealed himself to be the true Clairvoyant, the financier behind the Centipede Project and a HYDRA insurgent. With help from Agent Ward, who was also a HYDRA mole, Garrett escaped with Agent Hand's death. Garrett freed Raina and Quinn, and together they resumed their work on the Centipede formula.

Phil Coulson was listening to Audrey Nathan's concert.

However, they required important information from Coulson's Team Hard Drive which had been encrypted by Skye, and Ward was sent in to manipulate her into opening the files for them. While most of the team rescued Coulson's former lover, Audrey Nathan from Marcus Daniels, Ward abducted Skye with assistance from Deathlok. Teaming up with Maria Hill and escaping from Glenn Talbot, Coulson and his team pursued Ward from Canada to Los Angeles, rescuing Skye. The team later traced Garrett and Ward to Cybertek, a technology corporation that was responsible for the upgrades given to Mike Peterson, which was also a front for HYDRA. There, they uncovered files that revealed Garrett was the original Deathlok back in 1990, and his enhancements were failing, putting his life at risk. He was only allied with HYDRA so he may use their resources to save his own life. Raina managed to do so by synthesizing the drug that was synthesized from the dead alien with Garrett's enhancements, further augmenting his strength and perceptions.

Phil Coulson and his team at the Playground.

After Fitz and Simmons were ejected from the Bus into the ocean by Ward, they were rescued by Nick Fury, with Simmons well, but Fitz in critical condition. Fury assisted the team in taking down Garrett and Ward once and for all. After a climactic battle at a Cybertek Manufacturing Facility, May subdued Ward while Garrett was killed by the freed Deathlok, then obliterated by Coulson using the Peruvian weapon. Ward was imprisoned, and Fury left Coulson to re-create S.H.I.E.L.D. as its new director before leaving to subdue the remaining HYDRA cells across the world. Deathlok, no longer bound to Garrett, departed to find a new purpose for himself.

Raina visited a mysterious blood-soaked man, informing him that she had found his daughter, as she presented him with a photograph of Skye.

Coulson awoke in the middle of the night and began drawing the exact same symbols that Garrret had drawn on a wall as he was losing his mind.

Can I skip Agents of Shield season 1?

Yes, the early episodes are more stand alone compared to later ones but without getting to know the characters certain events towards the end of the season won't have the same effect. You might also miss out on how Coulson isn't dead after The Avengers. The only MCU movie you need to see is CA:TWS.

Is Agents of Shield season 1 worth watching?

Agents of Shield was such a great show. If you can get past the first season (which was by far the worst season) I guarantee that you will enjoy the rest! It just took a while to gets it's footing but once it did it was one of the best shows on tv.
