This week, social media proved what it can do when it comes to entertainment. ABC found itself canceling Roseanne in the wake of its stars raciest tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a top aide to President Obama during his White House tenure. Now, fans are pitching the network shows which could fill the gap left by the cancellation, and Marvel fans are going hard for Agent Carter.
Over on Twitter, efforts to revive Agent Carter for a third season have doubled in light of Roseannes cancellation. As you can see below, fans around the world are hyping Peggy Carter as the best choice to fill ABCs sudden gap.
Of course, these efforts are not new by any means. Despite being cancelled after two seasons, Agent Carter has retained a loyal fanbase that remains active online. Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) has often praised the shows following and told fans she would do a third season like a shot if given the opportunity.
In the past, Atwell did open up about why Agent Carter found itself abandoned after two seasons. The British actress told The AV Club the decision was made by ABC as they wanted to plug Atwell into a more mainstream show.
"Its a shame the network canceled it and wanted to put me in something more mainstream," Atwell said.
"You know, Marvel didnt want it to end. Theres lots of online campaigns to bring her back. Fans loved her. I think it was just a network economical thing: 'Lets put Hayley Atwell in something more mainstream thats less genre-specific and see if we can get higher ratings.' And unfortunately, that isnt, as an actor, anything Ive got control over. But maybe, in small ways, characters like Peggy Carter very slowly pave the way for it to be possible for other female-led narratives to exist."

That said, I wouldn't be shocked if she turned up again in Avengers 4, especially when there are so many rumors about a time travel element.
