    The second season of the American television series Agent Carter, which is inspired by the films Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the Marvel One-Shot short film of the same name, features the Marvel Comics character Peggy Carter as she moves to Los Angeles to deal with the threats of the new atomic age in the wake of World War II, gaining new friends, a new home, and a potential new love.

     

    Speaking of the latest season, Hayley Atwell who plays the flamboyant character said, “On the surface, I think, there’s something about the light. We’re in L.A., so there’s a lot more sunshine,” she noted about the show set-up moving from New York to L.A.  “There’s the glamor of Hollywood and the film noir kind of the L.A. Confidential-esque feel to it.  We have that dark underbelly of L.A. in the 40s that would involve gangsters and serial killers,” she concluded.
