The Marvel series will debut during Agents of SHIELD's winter hiatus, and Captain America: The First Avenger's Peggy Carter will be back in action.

"Years before Agent Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. team swore to protect those who cannot protect themselves from threats they cannot conceive, there was Agent Peggy Carter, who pledged the same oath but lived in a different time when women weren't recognized as being as smart or as tough as their male counterparts," states the new summary. "But no one should ever underestimate Peggy."

Set between the disappearance of Caps and the star of SHIELD, the ABC program will see Carter pair up with Howard Stark's (Dominic Cooper) butler Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy) to track down several of Stark's missing inventions. The genius' most deadly creations are up for sale by an unknown entity and Carter must coop them up to ensure humanities safety and Stark's good name.
