For those who don't know about the series...

Marvel's Agent Carter is a new TV series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which has taken the slot previously filled by Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. while that series is on its mid-season break.

Hayley Atwell returns to the MCU as the titular Agent Peggy Carter.

The series also stars James D'Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, and Shea Whigham.

Recurring cast members include Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark), Lyndsy Fonseca, and Bridget Regan.

This first season will consist of eight episodes, but if it's successful it may come back for a longer second season.

The series premiered Tuesday night on ABC in the US with a double-bill, and has had excellent reviews so far. There is no UK broadcaster, as yet.
