Adrienne Palicki and Nick Blood Lead Cast for 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Spinoff
The Marvel Avengers spinoff, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," is getting its own spinoff, and ABC is currently finalizing plans for a Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse standalone with cast leads Nick Blood and Adrienne Palicki.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." may be getting its own spinoff on ABC, featuring a standalone action series on the dueling ex-spouses, Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse, to be played by Nick Blood and Adrienne Palicki.
The spinoff of the spinoff is standing by for a greenlight, and when ABC buys the series as planned, it will be joining "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Agent Carter" on the same network. With rumors surrounding the creation of a "Ms. Marvel" miniseries in the offing, all four ABC shows will be pitted against Marvel's "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist," and "Luke Cage" on Netflix.

The new spinoff will see the formerly married and oft bickering duo of Lance Hunter (Blood) and Bobbi Morse (Palicki) from the current season of "AOS," and while the show doesn't have a working title yet, or even a plot, the network is putting a Mr.-and-Mrs.-Smith-spin on the two characters for Marvel.
The events in the remaining three episodes of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." may form the events for the new spinoff's storyline. Currently on "AOS," Morse and Hunter are on dangerous ground after Morse double-crosses Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the rest of the team to get his hands on Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) toolbox for Agent Robert Gonzales (Edward James Olmos).
The spinoff is presently under development by "AOS" executive producer, Jeffrey Bell and the show's writer, Paul Zbyszewski.
Palicki nearly became Wonder Woman in the Warner Bros.-produced television series pilot for NBC which was expected to make its television debut in 2011, but NBC opted not to air the series after the character's costume met with a wall of criticism from fans and the media.
English actor, director and producer, Nick Blood played Warwick in seven episodes of the British comedy drama, "Babylon," and is fresh off Simon Pummell's sci-fi thriller, "Brand New-U."
