Considering Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a rare Marvel series insofar as it wasn’t cancelled — R.I.P. Marvel Netflix series — the final season has the chance to tie off loose ends before the final credits roll.
Like Season 6, Season 7 will run for only 13 episodes, which is significantly shorter than the 22 episodes of the first five seasons.
It sounds like S.H.I.E.L.D. intends to pack a lot into not a whole lot of episodes.
