Additional Airing Notes:
Marvel Universe series continues.
Agents of SHIELD season 6 will be premiering in the US on May 10th. Hopefully it won’t be long before it returns on E4.
Season 6 premiere on next weekend at wondercon apparently
Does anyone know where I can watch Season 5 Episodes 18 and onward, I can’t seem to find them.
Does anyone know where can I catch Season One Of Agents Of Shield? Trying to get back into it!
seasons 1-4 available on Amazon Prime
If you’re in the UK and have Sky, seasons 1-4 are at the moment OnDemand under the ABC studios channel, not All4.
Also now tv.
I watch it on nowtv usually. You can also watch it online (illegally)
seasons 1to 5 avalaible on sky box sets on demand
Trailers were on E4 last night, confirming a return on Sunday 29th January
Homeland just started on that slot on channel 4, no chance they will move that show for shield
I sent a message to Channel 4 programming about season 4 and they replied that it starts on 29th Jan, 21:00 on C4.
Yes, the day and time *might* be right, but the channel is wrong. It’ll be E4. They also haven’t officially locked the day/time yet. That will happen on Weds.
They keep talking about numbers being low…. but half the world don’t get to see it till months afterwards?!
[…] we here in the UK won’t get to see this for months (season four premieres in the UK on E4 early next year, exact date tbc) it’s nearly time for the Agents Of SHIELD midseason finale, “The Laws Of […]
Why the hell do we have to bloody wait till next year. It’s stupid. ??
This sucks ffs the fucking Americans get to see it
Hope its on a HD channel this time.
Btw the page is missing the season 3 details and 4 rumours?
According to 4viewers on twitter it looks like it’ll be late start again i.e. early next year. Presumably again to avoid the mid-season break.
They can avoid the mid-season break all they like, but how do they expect us (the viewers) to avoid spoilers for 4 months?
I’m sorry, am i missing something? does anyone know when the dvd boxset of season 3 will be available to buy? ? ive searched Google a thousand times but can’t find anything with an official release date.
Season 2 was released on October last year so I expect similar for season 3.
I have just found out that the fourth season of Agents of SHIELD will be returning in the US on September 20th. I hope it won’t be long before we hear when season 4 returns on E4.
Why have they moved it from Ch 4 in HD to E4? When is it coming back in HD on ch 4 I missed an episode as my recorder isn’t clever enough to change channels!
Asked C4 the same question, three times now and no answer. If they broadcast E4 in HD on Freeview there would be no problem, but they don’t so I’m really angry. By time I realised it had gone to E4 I’d missed four episodes and I want it in HD! C4 said not a bloody word. So has C4HD lost it?
Channel 136 on sky is e4 hd
Does anybody know if the UK airings will have a mid-season break?
America are just coming to the end of a 3or4 month hiatus, but because we are so far behind here, there really doesn’t need to be a break.
Thanks in advance
Hi Charli,
I don’t believe it will. I think the reason for starting it much later this year was to remove that mid-season gap. Having said that, this is E4 – home of using the world cup approach to scheduling, by pulling shows out of a one hat, dates out of another, and times out of another, so anything is possible! 😉
Hi.

I take it we have to wait ’til 2016…. I don’t want to start watching be half way through the season THEN it starts airing….
Well after this I think I’ll start watching shows online as a lot of UK TV waists talent on usual dramas BBC and Chanel 4 etc which is sad because great shows like Merlin and the late unfairly cancelled Atlantis don’t get thought about in context it’s like crappy 90’s UK TV all over Gin and it’s really sad
I echo what Chris has said, like him I got fed up of waiting and emailed Channel 4. They said they had no firm date for transmission, but didn’t flat-out say they wouldn’t be showing it at all. So hopefully……..sometime……..maybe soon, maybe not, we’ll finally be able to watch Season 3!
And then they wonder why people stream stuff online instead of watching it on tv!! Well DURRR if you can’t air such a hugely popular show at least in some sort of line with the release in america then what are fans gonna do? it’s not rocket science now is it!
at this rate season 3 will be on region 1 dvd box set sales before we get it here! ohhhhh no adverts!
I spoke to inquiries with Channel 4 and they said they are unsure about season 3 returning but have put in a request due to popular demand, they are busy scheduling their own home grown shows.
Gods almighty will this show ever appear in the UK it’s almost three months late, all my shows except this and The Originals have been picked up yet Marvel’s Agents of Shield and The Originals are both half way through season in the USA and haven;t even been green lighted to start here… Come on Chanel 4 move yer arse!
why wont they show it in the UK before USA
Because its a american tv show
When does it start guys. If you guys hear anything, let me know asap got it
Why not just have it start at the same time as previous years? Why all this messing about? No wonder shows don’t get the ratings.
I’ve worked out a theory that is probably stupid but oh well , AoS is being repeated on E4 everyday, and there are 44 episodes altogether, which means season 2 will finish on a Thursday in about 9 weeks. Friday is the normal AoS day in the UK which could mean they are getting ready for the new season because E4 is part of Channel 4? Just an idea.
That’s actually not a bad guess Jess. It would put it into very early Jan, which is a distinct possibility. That may, possibly, remove enough of the gaps they have in the US airing to allow them to run the show as a single block, rather than have a mid-season break like they usually have to. We’ll just have to wait and see what they do. 🙂
Hey Jess I strongly support your theory as I expect that Ao5 repeats finish on the 17 Dec, so I think that you think Ao5 should start on the 18 Dec. I know what you are think as the second episode would be on christ day, but I think it will start back on the 1 Jan and so when it is time for the US mid-season Premire we won’t have to wait like a month like we usally have to do.
Storm

Storm
I suspect you are correct. They did the same last time, that is, they showed the whole of first season and then began season two after the last repeated showing of the last espisold of season one. It’s very frustrating. I can’t wait for season three, I’m so excited to see it already.
Agents of SHIELD will be repeated on E4 at 4:00pm at on Monday 19th October.
Does anyone know if they will repeat AOS series 2 in the UK? Sky box broke and I lost the last 12 episodes :o|
I don’t know when season 2 is being re-aired but I do know the DVD boxed set for season 2 is supposed t be released n the 19th of this month,
Agent Carter season 2 is returning to the UK around Christmas and I can’t remember where I read it but it might have said that Carter would start during the AoS mid season break. So that could mean it’s on around October/ November time?!
Unlikely. Both Agent Carter and AoS are on different channels so won’t necessarily show them in U.S broadcast order. AC doesn’t start in the U.S until January and Fox may show it a week or so after to catch up with U.S scheduling. As for AoS, it looks like Channel 4 may not air it until 2016 let alone October.
Ok. I wasn’t sure if what I read was true. I’m not sure I can wait until next year to find out what happens!!! ?
Channel 4 just announced their Autumn/Winter 2015 acquisitions and schedules. Agents of SHIELD unlike last year isn’t on there. Could this mean they’ve passed on Season 3?
Hi Miles,
I’ve jst managed to confirm that Channel 4 have got AoS Season 3, they just aren’t sure when it’ll air yet which is why it was missing from the list.
It’s not airing in the US till 29th Sept which means it’s later than last year. My guess is that they may be considering holding it back till the new year, because if they start it from late Jan/Feb, they could run it as a solid block with no breaks, and we’d catch up on the US as we go. Or they may just run it from Oct. Really depends what the breaks are like in the US schedule…
Cheers
Dave
29th September on ABC, not FOX sorry got it mixed up with another programme
Season 3 is on Fox 21st September 2015
I think a more likely return date for Season 2 is April. It doesn’t return in the U.S until March anyway because of Agent Carter.
Finally got a chance to see Season 2 episode 10 and in my opinion it was brilliant. C4 have said the show would be back in Spring next year. Do you guys have an idea on what the actual date might be?
No exact date yet, but due to the stupid number of breaks in the US schedule between now and April, my best guess would be March, which is what they did last year.
Cheers
Dave
Thanks Dave.
Appreciate it 🙂
Hi ive not used these forums before for these purposes so please bear with me……….So last week i was completely unaware it was the series finale……and in description says”the team must make a sacrifice that chages things for good”,and didnt see any sacrifice,unless a 10 sec toilet break was the cause of my missing it………….then expexted to find out what this was as i thought it had something to do with gemma at the end scene/then come this morn i get up/goto 4od and theres nothing……….no last night episode wish idve known………..i cant wait till next yr for the follow up……………as many of us fans cant i guess,,,,,,,,,,,could you be so kind as to explain(yes im a noob at this type of thing) cheers…………….J………
Just checked my Sky Tv Guide (Saturday 11th October 14) and on Friday the 24th October at 8pm is a programme about Andy Murry not Agents of Shield. Any idea of the date coz the info you’ve given isn’t the right one!!
The Andy Murray thing is on the 17th. The 24th is a full week later
Yep. Just figured that out. I suppose that’s what I get for not doubled checking the dates!! Just caught a advert of the new season and was able to press the “reminder” button!! Panic over. Don’t want to miss this season like I missed the started of the 2nd half of the 1st season!!
okay, I did a little more research and Channel 4 had this to say:
“S.H.I.E.L.D. will be returning to Channel 4 most likely in March (exact date tbc). This is so that we can air the remainder of the series at one episode a week with no more breaks in between episodes.”
Great, MARCH? how on Earth are we supposed to wait until then? God Damn Channel 4!
Hi LJ,
That was in reference to the break they had to take post Christmas for season 1 this year, not the airing of season 2. If you notice, they refer to the ‘remainder of the series’ – aka the second half of season 1, not season 2.
Cheers,
Dave
I’ll have forgotten about it by next March.
Did AOS air at the same time as the US last time? IF so, I think it’s incredibly unfair that Channel 4 is forcing their fans to wait, while being teased with spoilers on social media websites constantly. Come on Channel 4, buck your ideas up!
RTE2 in Ireland had AOS season 1 at virtually the same time as Channel 4 last year…..airing the show on the Sunday after C4. Hopefully RTE gets the jump this year as they do with so many shows.
They did season 2 starts sunday 5 October 7pm on rte 2.
After 2nd Nov. ( tonight ep ) it’s not on next week and there was no announcement of when it’s back on again. Any idea ? Noticed this on planner to record.
That’s confusing. It wasn’t on last night (2nd Nov). It is on Fridays, and continues this coming Friday as usual.
If I’m honest, I thought the show started out a little slow, but, boy did it take off. I have been very impressed with the first season, and I look forward to the return of the second season. I also look forward to finding out why Centipede and The Girl In The Flower Dress are so interested in Agent Coulson. Further more, I would love to see the introduction of more super powered people, whether they be hero or villain. I would also like to know when it starts again on UK tv, the only start date I can find is Jan 7th but that’s America, can anyone help me out???
My guess is it’ll be 21st Feb after the Jamie Oliver cooking show which has taken it’s slot finishes.
I’m up to episode 7 and agree with the comment on pace, but pleased to note that you say it does improve later on.
According to Bleeding Cool it starts Friday 27th September.

Hmmm. That’s interesting indeed. 3 days. Thanks for that
Seriously no UK broadcaster has picked this up yet, maybe they are waiting to see how it performs since Joss’s last couple of TV attempts were cult hits but sadly.not really big enough for TV bosses
No UK broadcaster has confirmed having bought it yet.
However, there’s no rush- it hasn’t started yet.

Lets see the facts here, Joss Whedon directed Marvel’s The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble for UK Audiences) Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a spinoff from Avengers, what could the problem be?
NOTHING!!!
Not quite sure how to respond to this comment other than to direct attention to the information above
Will be keeping my eye on GeekTown for this one! Love Joss. Love Coulson. CAN’T WAIT!
