Channel 4 announces Marvel's Agents of SHIELD return date

Channel 4 has confirmed a return date for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

The comic book drama - which has been on hiatus in the UK since December - will return on Friday, March 14 at 8pm.

Season one will resume with episode 11 - 'The Magical Place' - in which Coulson (Clark Gregg) learns the shocking truth about his resurrection.

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has aired 13 episodes in the US - where it airs on ABC - with the 14th instalment set to air on Tuesday, March 4.

Series star Gregg recently defended the show's US ratings, which have declined since the pilot episode aired in September last year.

"If you look at how well our show is doing in those numbers, I'm quite encouraged, especially because we aren't Tony Stark and Thor," the actor said. "We're a bunch of new people and Agent Coulson, the supporting player from those [Marvel] films."
