Marvel's Agent Carter Season 2, which aired in 2016, shifts the series from the gritty, post-war streets of New York to the "sunshine noir" of 1947 Los Angeles. While the season maintains the charm and wit of its lead, Hayley Atwell, it was met with mixed reviews for its broader scope and ultimately served as the final chapter following its cancellation.
The story begins with Peggy Carter traveling to L.A. to assist Chief Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) at the West Coast Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). The investigation centers on a "Lady in the Lake"—a murder victim found frozen in a block of ice during a heatwave. This leads to the discovery of (later known in the MCU as Darkforce), an extradimensional energy unearthed by the company Isodyne Energy. Marvel's Agent Carter Season 2
