Marvel is bringing Agent Carter to the small screen, and fans will be getting a lot of bang out of the series' short freshman season.

Hayley Atwell, who will be reprising her title role, recently confirmed that the season will dive into Carter's inner battles over the course of 8 episodes. Set to air while Agents of SHIELD is on hiatus this January, the series will follow the Captain America character through her post-World War Two struggles as she tries to find a place in Earth's secret battles that is suitable for her vast skill set.
"I think over the arc of the eight episodes there will be a very different facet to who she is which won't disappoint the fans in making sure that she has a story within her self as well as the stories of each episode - fighting who she fights against and still battling with her own demons and losing the love of her life and what the personal cost to her that is," Atwell explained, according to Marvel. "There are many different ideas behind who she is and I think that she's going to become more interesting."
While fans received a second, more in depth look at Carter following the disappearance of her supersoldier love interest during her eponymously titled Marvel One Shot (see video below), Atwell promises there is so much more to learn about Carter and her 1946 world.
Agent Carter will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC starting in January.
