Agents of SHIELD Season 5 has been renewed, but won't be back until 2018.
The latest season of Agents of SHIELD got off to a strong start with its Ghost Rider arc, despite the series being shunted off to a Tuesday night at 10 pm slot that traditionally isn't really a sign of tremendous confidence from a network. The viewership numbers of a little over 2 million viewers a week would be considered thoroughly healthy on a network like the CW, but on ABC, well, there are higher expectations.
Nevertheless, Agents of SHIELD Season 5 has officially been picked up by ABC. That's great news. There's one thing we're trying to figure out, though...
Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Release Date
The thing is, will Agents of SHIELD Season 5 need a new night? Another Marvel drama, Inhumans was originally scheduled for Tuesdays, but now will air on Fridays instead. While Agents of SHIELD Season 5 is indeed renewed, it isn't on the network's Fall 2017 schedule.

This means that it won't air until Inhumans finishes its 10 episode run. We won't see Agents of SHIELD Season 5 until early 2018, and it will now air on Fridays at 9 pm. Despite the late start, it will have a full 22 episode order, according to TV Line.
We'll update this with more information when it becomes available.
