Some old friends will be joining Peggy Carter even as she embarks on new adventures during Agent Carters’ second series.
According to an exclusive report by Entertainment Weekly, James D’Arcy and Enver Gjokaj have signed on as series regulars for season 2, joining series star, Hayley Atwell. D’Arcy plays Howard Stark’s loyal butler and Peggy’s trusted ally, Edwin Jarvis, while Gjokaj plays Peggy’s supportive co-worker and friend, Agent Daniel Sousa.
No official confirmation on whether other cast members from season one will be returning for Peggy’s new missions. But there are are talks that deals are forthcoming for Chad Michael Murray (Agent Jack Thompson, another co-worker of Peggy’s), Bridget Regan (the deadly Dottie Underwood) and Lyndsy Fonseca (Angie Martinelli, Peggy’s close friend).
The new season promises to bring a change of scenery, deadlier threats and more badass action and adventure for our extraordinary heroine. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:
“Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home — and perhaps even a new love — she’s about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect.”
Don’t miss the second season of Agent Carter, set to return midseason to ABC.
