Morrison, described as "brilliant but rebellious" (Much like my fave Jessica Jones) by Varietywill "investigate cases where there’s credible suspicion that the wrong person may have been convicted of a crime."
According to Variety, neither Conviction nor Agent Carter would be affected in scheduling should Agent Carter return for a third season. Who knows if Conviction will even be ordered to series? A lot can happen, so hang on tight Agent Carter fans.
