So it appears as if the superhero series with the “small, but active fanbase” (per Agent Melinda May) just might live to see Season 6. There are strong rumors circulating the interwebs that ABC is heavily leaning towards renewing Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although the showrunners have already gone on record stating that they have crafted the Season 5 finale as a potential series finale and the show is definitely on the bubble, MovieTVTechGeeks cites three different sources from ABC, Disney, and the show’s production stating that the series will continue on to a sixth season.

Fans of Agents of SHIELD can breathe a little easier as ABC is already making plans for season 6 which will be announced in May in time for the finale #Marvel #Disney https://t.co/RhdChDEfCb via @movietvtechgeek

Disney doesn’t want to lose another Avengers connection on network television. With the upcoming season 5 finale coming in May, expect a season 6 announcement which should give diehard fans some good news.

An official confirmation (if it occurs) will (more than likely) happen in (or just before) May when ABC holds its Upfront Presentation.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Fridays @ 9pm ET on ABC.
