The cast and crew have known about its cancellation for a while and Jeph Loeb promises that the series about “a group of characters who became family, became a family in real life” will wrap it up in a way that fans will be left satisfied. So for what could be their last time at Comic-Con, they had the opportunity to fill Hall H with fans for the first time.

While Season 7 will air in a year, we have three more episodes of Season 6 ahead of us, which includes a 2 hour season finale. The teaser for the upcoming episodes shows us that we will see another side of Sarge, or is he Coulson?

Like every year, the panel is led by Executive Vice President and Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb who called this panel a celebration and a thank you to the fans. During the panel, it focused more on the journey throughout the series, rather than what we can expect from the rest of season 6.

Season 1 is a magical place, says Clark Gregg, who is “grateful that this incredible journey happened”. He remembers that it was only possible because of the “Coulson Lives” movement the fans started, and Marvel has given that to all of us.

At this point, it seems that everyone starts to get teary as Chloe Bennet remembers her journey from being Skye the hacker to becoming Quake, a superhero, and how “frustrating” it was to shoot the transition. Ming-Na Wen is the first one to break out in tears and everyone knows that this is their last mission together. While we have a handful of episodes left of Season 6, the cast is currently shooting the very last episode now.

Henry Simmons reflects how his character has evolved from being a mechanic to helping out Fitz, and then to becoming a member of the main cast and the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He especially remembers the episode with the spies goodbye, in which Bobby and Hunter leave S.H.I.E.L.D. It was not only emotional for his character, but also to him because he is very close to both actors in real life.

One of the highlights of this panel was the chemistry between Elizabeth Henstridge and Iain De Caestecker, who in an interview before said that “it is fun to shoot with Elizabeth. I wish everyone has a Elizabeth in their lives”. True friendship.

Jeff Ward, who joined the cast in Season 5, tells the story of him being unexpectedly cast as FitzSimmons grandchild. He was initially cast for another role in which he would die quickly, but he was so good at his table read, that they got him a recurring role which later ended up as being a main cast member in Season 6. This also has something to do with the fans again because the fans absolutely love him! He fell in love with everyone on set and remarks that he’s grateful that this family has let him in.

Since there was not much time left towards the end, the fan questions turned into a speedy Q&A in which we got a little hint that we may not get a direct spin-off of the show, but we might get a comic book series about the adventures that have happened in space. We also still do not know how the Ghost Rider series, which will produced by Hulu, will connect to S.H.I.E.L.D if at all.

Eva Longoria executive produces this bold, provocative drama set at the last family-owned hotel in multicultural Miami Beach. Charismatic Santiago Mendoza owns the hotel, while his glamorous second wife, Gigi, and their adult children enjoy the spoils of success. The hotel’s loyal staff round out a contemporary fresh take on an upstairs/downstairs story. Wealthy and beautiful guests bask in luxury, but scandals, escalating debt and explosive secrets hide beneath the picture-perfect exterior. The show is based on the Spanish series.

At the TCA’s in February, Longoria told the press that nine of the 11 main cast members are people of colour, while half of the writing team and 7 out of 12 directors are female. We’ll also see Longoria step in front of the camera as she asked writer Brian Tanen to create something for her, which ended up being Mendoza’s now deceased first wife and mother to his children.

“I was directing the show while I was breastfeeding. I was crazy,” she said. “The first time you see me I’m about 20 pounds (9 kilograms) heavier than the last time you see me because five months had passed.”

The series stars Demián Bichir (The Hateful Eight) as Santiago Mendoza, Roselyn Sánchez (Devious Maids) as Gigi Mendoza, Denyse Tontz (The Fosters) as Alicia Mendoza, Bryan Craig (General Hospital) as Javi Mendoza, Wendy Raquel Robinson (The Game) as Mrs. P, Lincoln Younes (Home and Away) as Danny, Shalim Ortiz (Heroes) as Mateo, Anne Winters (13 Reasons Why) as Ingrid, Chris Warren (High School Musical) as Jason, Feliz Ramirez as Carolina, and Justina Adorno (Seven Seconds) as Yoli.
