Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Wikipedia

Breaking News: ABC has ordered a pilot for a new live-action series based on the fictional peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., with Joss Whedon set to write and potentially direct. The "Avengers" director will pen the script with brother Jed Whedon and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen, both of whom did uncredited work on the "Avengers" screenplay, in addition to earlier collaborations. Production is slated to begin immediately.
Headed by Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. (or the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) is a covert military organization that deals with superhuman threats to world security. It was featured heavily, of course, in Whedon's blockbuster film "The Avengers" earlier this summer. The plot saw Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) recruiting the titular superhero team to stop Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) adoptive brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) from subjugating Earth.
Whedon's last stab at series television was the short-lived Fox series "Dollhouse," which was cancelled after two seasons. He previously created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly."
