Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame really shook up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the new season of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be set before all that happened. Here’s everything you need to know…

Speaking to The Wrap, two of the people behind the show confirmed that Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6 will take place before the MCU-changing events of the latest two Avengers films.

“It’s just the safest way for us to do things,” said Jeph Loeb, the big boss of Marvel TV. “Just looking at it from a very practical place, which is, what the world looked like post-snap, [it] was not something we had seen yet. We were already shooting [long before Endgame came out].”

Loeb added this: “We don’t want to ever do something in our show which contradicts what’s happening in the movies. The movies are the lead dog. They’re setting the timeline for the MCU and what’s going on. Our job is to navigate within that world. The only way for us to tell our story is to do them pre-snap. Whether or not you can figure out [how the timeline works], we’ll let ‘timelords’ figure out.”

Jed Whedon, who serves as co-showrunner alongside Maurissa Tancharoen, offered another piece of logistical information: when they were making this season of S.H.I.E.L.D., they didn’t know exactly when it would come out.

“If they moved us up by two months and we based our show on [Endgame’s] storyline,” Whedon explained, “then all of a sudden we’d burn down a huge story point for them. So we had to dodge all of that.”

As it stands, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6 is set to premiere on May 10th 2019. A seventh season has already been announced, as well.
