Marvel's Agent Carter TV show is under consideration for a series pick-up, ABC boss Paul Lee has confirmed.

ABC Studios is also developing online only series - including Daredevil and Iron Fist -with Netflix.

Lee described the Netflix projects as "super-fan shows" as opposed to the "big, broad" series on ABC.

"We think it's a great balance, and the ABC Studios side of it are really enjoying it, as are Marvel," he said.

Hayley Atwell - who plays Peggy Carter in Marvel's movies - is reported to have signed up to reprise her role for the small screen.

Atwell previously told Digital Spy that she would be eager to star in the TV show and "show different sides of Peggy".

Sherlock series 4: We'll make it as quickly as we can, says Moffat

Sherlock will return for a fourth series "as quickly" as possible, co-creator Steven Moffat has insisted.

A fourth and fifth series of the hit detective show have been planned, Moffat revealed last night (January 8) at a BAFTA screening of third series finale 'His Last Vow'.

"Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Martin [Freeman] are apparently in movies!" quipped the writer. "So we've got to schedule around them, but we'll get them made as quickly as we can."

Series producer Sue Vertue added: "We're working on it - it's dates."

Sherlock premiered its third series on BBC One on New Year's Day, following a two-year hiatus.

"We couldn't get together before then," said Vertue. "We did worry that [in] two years, you might forget about us, but clearly not!"

Moffat also suggested that the hiatus may have contributed to Sherlock's recent ratings success.

"Sherlock started very well, the second series did better than the first and now the third is doing better than the second," he said. "It shows the benefits of starvation - put things on less often!"

'His Last Vow' airs on BBC One on Sunday, January 12 at 8.30pm in the UK. The third series will debut on BBC America the following Sunday (January 19) in the US.

Steven Moffat has stated that a ninth series of Doctor Who will air next year.

Like the show's upcoming eighth series, the 2015 episodes will air as a single uninterrupted run, Moffat told Doctor Who Magazine.

"We're not going to do splits [in series eight], and the same format will repeat exactly the following year like that - so it will be the traditional form," said the sci-fi drama's head writer.

Doctor Who's eighth series - the first to star Peter Capaldi as the Doctor - is expected to air on BBC One from August.

Filming on the new episodes began this week, with a first-look image of Capaldi on-set with co-star Jenna Coleman (Clara) unveiled on Tuesday (January 7).

The first two instalments will be helmed by Sightseers director Ben Wheatley.
