Mockingbird is leaving the nest.
By Brandon Wolfe
The focus of the recently announced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off has finally been revealed. The show will center on the characters of Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and her off-and-on lover, fellow agent Lance Hunter (Nick Blood). The characters were introduced early on in the parent show’s current second season as highly capable operatives working alongside (and occasionally against) Coulson and his team, their tempestuous relationship as former husband and wife being a major focus.
The direction of the show has yet to be disclosed, but will be set up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it winds down for the season. The spin-off is being developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski, who are collaborating on the script and will act as executive producers, with Zbyszewski is expected to serve as showrunner. ABC has not given the series the official greenlight yet, but is expected to upon receiving the script.
While Morse and Hunter have proven to be stronger characters than the core cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., they haven’t exactly blown the roof off the show, either. Still, a series built around them has more promise than what we’re presently receiving on the flagship show.
