This means that the show's second outing will consist of two more episodes than its debut season.

When asked about whether fans can expect to see Peggy's backstory, Atwell said: "I had this conversation with the show runners a couple of weeks ago, and we talked about what is it that the audience wants to see.

"What was very exciting is, in a second season she's grieved over Steve and she's now about to embark on a new adventure in her life. So she's in a much better place, so in terms of where she is it's going to be a lot lighter for her, there's going to be more humour to her and more warmth. She's not struggling so much with her identity."

Atwell also elaborated on the show's new setting of "dark" 1940s Los Angeles.

"I also think the show runners really want to move it forward", she said. "So it's going to be set in LA and with 10 episodes it's going to be a very glamorous, dark world of 1940s Los Angeles.

"I think it might be touched upon a little bit about her background, but I think we want to move it forward so the audience feel like we are taking them on a new journey."

ABC has scheduled the second season of Marvel's Agent Carter to air in the mid-season next year.
