Things don’t look too good for Marvel’s Agent Carter. After the show came back with low ratings for its second season, star Hayley Atwell has joined a new ABC legal drama pilot called Conviction.
Atwell will star as the daughter of a powerful political family who is stuck taking a job at the Conviction Integrity Unit in Los Angeles. She and her team have a couple of weeks to investigate a conviction to see if a person has been wrongly convicted.
According to TVLine, should the show be ordered to series and Agent Carter get a surprising third season, Atwell’s schedule will be fixed so she can do both shows.
The team on Conviction includes writer/director Liz Friedman (Marvel’s Jessica Jones), Mark Gordon and Nicholas Pepper of The Mark Gordon Company.
Atwell starred as Agent Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger and played the role again in a brief cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The British actress’ other credits include Cinderella, Jimi: All Is By My Side, an episode of Black Mirror and The Duchess.
