Upon arrival, the team are heralded by Virgil, who dies soon after. They quickly regroup and meet Deke, who reveals that the space station, known as the Lighthouse, was built nearly ninety years prior. Hoping to send a message back to Earth, May and Simmons discover it is no longer habitable and appears to have been torn apart by a cataclysmic event. At the same time, Coulson discovers that the monolith not only transported them through space, but also through time. Elsewhere, Mack and Yo - Yo are held captive by the Kree, who maintain control on the station by encouraging bloodshed among its inhabitants. Back in the station, the team attempt to blend in by agreeing to work for Grill and meet Tess, who saves them during the Renewal. Coulson goes with Tess to learn more about Virgil 's message and finds a hidden notebook. Meanwhile, Simmons is taken to meet Kasius, the Kree leader of the station, and is inducted as one of his servants. Later on, Johnson confronts Deke in his framework simulation, where he reveals she is the reason the Earth was torn apart. 91 `` A Life Spent '' Kevin Hooks Nora Zuckerman & Lilla Zuckerman December 8, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 08 ) 1.93 In preparation for Lady Basha 's arrival, Simmons is given the task of helping an Inhuman champion control her abilities for her exhibition ceremony. Simmons is successful but becomes distraught when Kasius sells his champion to Lady Basha. While the team adapt to their new jobs, Grill becomes suspicious of the new arrivals and sends one of his men to spy on them. During a space expedition, Coulson, May, Mack, and Tess struggle to make sense of Virgil 's notebook and discover a radio transmission supposedly originating from the Earth 's surface. Grill 's spy reports back, only to be framed as a traitor and exiled to die on Earth. Meanwhile, Yo - Yo helps Johnson get ahold of a Kree tablet to try and save Simmons. However, her mission is thwarted by Deke, who reports her to Kasius. Johnson is captured and taken to become his new champion. 92 `` A Life Earned '' Stan Brooks Drew Z. Greenberg December 15, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 15 ) 1.84 Johnson meets Ben, one of Kasius ' other champions, capable of telepathy. Using Ben to corroborate their story, Kasius interrogates Johnson and Simmons about the others. They are able to convince Kasius they came alone, though he remains suspicious. During the interrogation, Ben learns that Kasius intends to destroy the station and everyone on it once he acquires enough profits to leave. Deke returns to the others to gather new information as they learn about the mysterious Level 35. Recognizing his father 's voice on the radio transmission, Deke agrees to help them gain access to the restricted floor. There, they discover that Kasius is attempting to breed Inhumans. May also discovers Deke lied about Johnson 's whereabouts, but get interrupted by Sinara 's arrival. Coulson leaves with Deke, while May fights her alone. Meanwhile, Grill sends Mack to confront someone who owes him payment. Later, Fitz is revealed to be one of the bidders who 've arrived for Johnson 's exhibition. 93 5 `` Rewind '' Jesse Bochco Craig Titley December 22, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 22 ) 2.40 Shortly after the others are taken from the diner, Fitz is taken into military custody and interrogated about their whereabouts, including the assassination attempt on General Talbot, and deaths of Jeffrey Mace and Holden Radcliffe. For the next six months, Fitz is given special privileges that would hopefully allow him to locate the team but fails. With help from Lance Hunter, Fitz escapes the military facility and tracks down Enoch, the man who took the others. Enoch explains that a prophecy foretold these events and takes them to meet Robin, the daughter of Charles from Spacetime, who can also tell the future but through drawings. Tracked by the military, Enoch helps them escape to a secret bunker, where Fitz learns that he was left behind so he could save the team. Determined to help them, Fitz and Hunter break back into the same military facility to obtain a cryogenic pod. In the warehouse, they find all their old S.H.I.E.L.D. tech, including the Zephyr, which they use to escape. Back in the secret bunker, Fitz is put to sleep for the next 74 years and is awoken by Enoch, who prepares him for their arrival at the Lighthouse. 94 6 `` Fun & Games '' Clark Gregg Brent Fletcher January 5, 2018 ( 2018 - 01 - 05 ) 2.49 Down in the station, the Kree have harvested some of the youth for an unscheduled Terrigenesis ceremony. Flint, a friend of Tess, experiences a successful Terrigenesis and is taken into hiding with the team by Yo - Yo. Tess is killed and hanged for Flint 's disappearance. During a dinner with the other bidders, Fitz quickly proves himself as a formidable character, earning Kasius ' respect. The first exhibition is then held between Ben and May, resulting in May being sent to the surface, while Ben is killed for lying during Johnson 's interrogation. Meanwhile, Grill finds the team and holds them captive, until Flint saves them using geokinesis against Grill, killing him. The unexpected arrival of Kasius ' brother prompts Sinara to battle Johnson for her exhibition.

's future, feeling that `` the episodes just keep getting better and stronger ''. The series was renewed for a fifth season of 22 episodes on May 11, with ABC looking to lower the cost of the series moving forward, by reducing its budget and licensing fee. Asked whether she had considered giving the season a shorter episode order, Dungey noted that every season of the series had been 22 episodes long, and she felt its prior success in delayed viewership and overseas justified continuing that. She added that the `` show has continued to grow creatively every season. I feel like last season ( was ) its strongest creatively yet. I 'm very excited for what we have planned for Season 5. '' It was reported that Disney, the parent company of Marvel Television, ABC Studios, and ABC, had given a mandate to ABC to renew Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. `` despite the desire by some at the network to end the series ''. Writing In May 2017, ahead of the fifth season renewal, showrunner and executive producer Jed Whedon said the writers were not sure what would happen in the season, and that it would be `` by the seat of our pants. '' The season explores the ramifications of Phil Coulson making a deal with Ghost Rider at the end of the previous season, as well as the groundwork laid by Aida for humans to fear S.H.I.E.L.D. and Inhumans. Whedon stated, `` The public perception of S.H.I.E.L.D. is at an all - time low, so we have not resolved that, and there will be still more fallout from it. '' Moving beyond the Framework reality established at the end of season four, Tancharoen said the emotional impact from the characters ' experiences would `` be something that resonates throughout the season '', especially for Fitz and Mack. When asked if the season would be broken into pods as with season four, executive producer Jeffrey Bell said, `` A 22 - episode arc is a lot for people to hold onto. By breaking it up into either smaller arcs or different pods, by introducing a set of antagonists and putting them down, or moving from space to space, our experience has been that it 's something the viewers enjoy, and it makes it a little easier to digest when you 're telling some of these stories. '' However, Whedon noted that it would depend on how the season would be aired as to where the story is broken up. The season ultimately was broken into two pod story arcs with different emphases, with Bell adding the whole season would `` have an arc that will pay off ''. The writers for the season began work at the end of May 2017. First pod The first pod of the season was informally referred to by the production team as S.H.I.E.L.D. in Space. Ahead of the season premiere, executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen said that `` every year we reset the series, and this year we definitely knew that it would be the most giant reset to date ( with the characters going to space ). Just creatively across the board for everyone, art direction, all of it, our sets, you 'll see an overhaul. '' On the move to space, Whedon commented, `` Last year was about tearing everybody apart. We spent a lot of time doing that... So our goal this year was... putting ( this ) family together in an intense situation ( that ) will end up causing drama internally, inevitably... we 've spent this many years with them, let 's throw them on the craziest roller coaster adventure we could think of. '' Casting Main cast members Clark Gregg, Ming - Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, and Henry Simmons return from previous seasons as Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Daisy Johnson / Quake, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, and Alphonso `` Mack '' MacKenzie, respectively. Before the 2017 New York Comic - Con, it was revealed that Natalia Cordova - Buckley had been promoted to series regular for the season, after recurring in the past two seasons as Elena `` Yo - Yo '' Rodriguez. In September 2017, it was revealed that former series regular Nick Blood would be returning to reprise his role as Lance Hunter. Blood left the series during the third season, to star on the spin - off series Marvel 's Most Wanted, which never came to fruition. Adrianne Palicki, who portrayed Bobbi Morse and also left in the third season to star on Most Wanted with Blood, expressed interest in October 2017 in returning to guest star in the season, saying she `` would absolutely come back '' if asked. Also returning from earlier in the series include Joel Stoffer as Enoch, who was simply credited as `` silhouetted man '' in his previous appearance, and Lola Glaudini as Polly Hinton. Polly 's daughter Robin also appears in the season, portrayed by multiple actresses, after the character previously made an uncredited appearance in `` Ascension ''. Lexy Kolker appears as 7 - years - old Robin, Ava Kolker appears as 12 - year - old Robin, while Willow Hale appears as an older Robin, when she is also known as The Seer. Jeff Ward was cast in a recurring role in August 2017, and was revealed in October to be portraying Deke, alongside other newcomers Eve Harlow as Tess, Coy Stewart as Flint, and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Grill. Other recurring guests include Dominic Rains as Kasius, and Florence Faivre as Sinara. Design After leaving the series during the fourth season, costume designer Ann Foley returned for the first two episodes of the fifth season, before handing over to Whitney Galitz, who had assisted her on the previous few seasons, and Christann Chanell. The opening for the season is reminiscent of the sequence used for the episode `` 4,722 Hours '', forgoing the title card and having the series ' typeface silently fading onto the screen. Filming Filming for the season began on July 20, 2017. In May 2017, Gregg expressed interest in directing an episode in the season, and confirmed that September he would be directing an episode, which was the sixth of the season, `` Fun & Games ''. Gregg felt the idea of directing was `` daunting '' as he would need to be doing `` five weeks of double duty '', needing to act in addition to the various aspects of directing the episode. Bennet felt Gregg was able to bring out performances from the cast `` that another director probably would n't have been able to because he knows the characters so well. '' Gregg added that he had `` shorthand with ( the other actors ) about what we want to try to do, ways the script could give us a chance to push us into new territory. They all also have deep and interesting ideas that helped me. '' Gregg also received a deeper appreciation for some of the other departments on the series he normally does not encounter on a regular basis and the work they contribute to each episode. Marvel Cinematic Universe tie - ins In terms of having connections to Marvel 's Inhumans, Whedon felt it was doubtful, but noted `` we also want there to be a bigger reward for people who watch all of ( the MCU series ), so they 'll start to see that there 's lines connecting it. It 's more fun for people who are playing the whole game, but if you do n't, you 'll still have a great rollercoaster ride. '' In November 2017, Whedon said that the season would not have moved the characters to space if the recent MCU films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Thor : Ragnarok had not been exploring that part of the MCU, but that this would remain a `` thematic tie ''. He explained that they had moved on from the overt tie - ins with the MCU films that the series utilized in earlier season because `` we have our own mythology. That started to be much more interesting to us, and hopefully to the audience, just digging that stuff up. No one wants to come to see our show to see another show. '' Release Broadcast The season began airing in the United States on ABC on December 1, 2017, beginning once Inhumans finished airing its episodes. It is set to run for 22 episodes. The fifth season is moving to a Friday timeslot, alongside the seventh season of ABC 's Once Upon a Time, with ABC chief Channing Dungey explaining, `` We 've turned Friday into more of a destination for our fantasy and science fiction fans. Once Upon a Time and S.H.I.E.L.D. are airing on the same night for the first time, which is giving many fans of both shows what they 've been asking for for a long time. '' Andy Kubitz, executive vice president for program planning and scheduling at ABC, added that ABC had `` confidence that ( the S.H.I.E.L.D. ) core audience... ( would ) travel with it '' to its new Friday time slot. He continued, `` The great thing about Friday night for these shows is it gives three days of downtime for a lot of these younger viewers to be able to catch up on it. You 've got Saturday and Sunday viewing that will be able to be counted into our C3 to help us monetize it. '' Marketing The main cast of the season appeared at New York Comic Con on October 7, 2017, where they promoted the season and debuted the first 20 minutes of the first episode of the season. A shortened version of the footage was released by ABC and Marvel on November 26, 2017, as a sneak peek before the season premiere later that week. `` The Road to 100 '' In December 2017, Marvel announced the `` Marvel 's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. : The Road to 100 '' art program to commemorate the series reaching 100 episodes. The program features five posters, one for each season of the series, representing `` key pivotal moments of each season ''. The art also appeared as variant covers to select titles published by Marvel Comics in March 2018. Megan Thomas Bradner, Vice President of Development and Production, Live Action at Marvel Television, called reaching 100 episodes `` quite a feat... and it felt special enough to share with the fans that got us here. By working with some of our favorite comic artists, we felt we could show a large variety of meaningful moments and the characters that helped get us to a 100. '' She added that the program `` commemorates these creators, the actors, the characters and a hundred amazing stories ''. The first poster, highlighting season one, was created by Dale Keown. It features four panels, showcasing the moment Coulson and Grant Ward approached Skye in her van from the pilot, Coulson learning he survived the Battle of New York from the T.A.H.I.T.I. program and a drug from a half - dissected Kree alien corpse, the moment Grant Ward revealed he was a Hydra agent by killing Victoria Hand, and Fitz giving Simmons the last remaining oxygen tank and declaring his love for her in the season one finale.

Reviewing the premiere episodes, Merrill Barr of Forbes felt moving the series to space was not a reboot of the series, rather `` a continuation, in some form, of the story set - up at the end of last season. The show is not different. The team is still trying to save the world. They 're just doing it in a new place and new way. Overall, there 's a lot to love about what S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing in the new season. It 's a crazy ride fans are going to be glad they 've stayed aboard for. The `` Agents of Hydra '' run ( at the end of season four ) was a bit weak. The space run is so far proving to be anything but.
