Details of the potential new series are still scarce, but it is not expected to be introduced as a backdoor pilot. According to EW which first reported the news, the story may draw a line from plotline in the second season of the flagship series.

Deadline further reports that the spin-off may feature cast members from the mothership series, with Inhumans and Deathlok rumored to appear on the spin-off. Words are, ABC won't greenlight the project until the script comes in.

Should the network move forward with the spin-off, it could arrive as soon as this fall, or in midseason next year, with "S.H.I.E.L.D." co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski expected to serve as showrunner.

Neither Marvel nor ABC has commented on the news.
