'Agent Carter' season 2 updates: will Peggy's move to L.A. bring a new female love interest?

(ABC)

Aside from announcing that "Agent Carter" is returning for season two, ABC has been pretty mum on details -- until now. The network and Marvel are starting to spill some beans on the return of the said period superhero series.

Shown during the season two mid-season break of another ABC series Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.," "Agent Carter" has always sat on the fence about getting picked up for another season. But with the confirmation that it will be renewed for a second season, fans are now starting to speculate what they can expect next.

And with Hayley Atwell, who plays lead character Peggy Carter, teasing fans with the possibility of having a female love interest in an interview she did a few months ago, speculations went into overdrive and had fans guessing who the lucky lady might be.

A fan favorite is a possible romance with nemesis Dottie Underwood (Bridget Regan), whom she kissed in the first season. But what most are really pushing for is her friend and now roommate, Angie Martinelli (Lyndsy Fonseca), who in true superhero love interest fashion, has already been tasked to keep Peggy Carter's double-life a secret.

However, Peggy being a lesbian lover, does not play in well with what fans already know of her. In her brief appearances in the "Captain America" movies, she has always pined for "a husband" that she lost. In "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," she mentions that Steve Rogers paved the way for her and her future husband. And there is always the chance that Agent Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) still might ask her out.

Though whether she will or will not have a female love interest remains uncertain, what fans can surely expect when "Agent Carter" returns is a new location and bigger battles. ABC says in a synopsis of season two, "Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home — and perhaps even a new love — she's about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect."

In the meantime, followers of the show can catch Hayley Atwell and James D'Arcy (Edwin Jarvis) at the San Diego Comic-Con.
