Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is ABCs only superhero show and has the power of the MCU to back it up. I doubt that ABC is gonna be so quick to bounce off the one superhero show they have. Especially when most shows on the network are are soap operas and/or family sitcoms, they need to appeal to the teen male demographic somehow. There's also the fact that the series has been meet with really strong critical reviews and all the talk of spinoffs. It also seems like ABC wants to expand it's Marvel content, not phase it out.

They moved it to a later time so they might've expected a ratings drop but just thought the show could handle it. Not to say it's 100% going to have a season 5, I just think (hope) it's not that hopeless to think the network would still be interested in continuing this awesome series. Yeah, but they can't get their story straight. They dropped Graviton, Deadlok, Mockingbird, Eden Fesi, and other stroylines with zero indication of what happened. You can argue Mockingbird, but there's not good reason for her not to come back. Every show does that, though. In Gotham what happened to Montoya and Allen? What about the Suicide Squad in Arrow? Or The Mist in The Flash? At least Bobbi and Hunter got an explanation, some of the ones I mentioned were literally just never spoken of.

I agree it's pretty lazy to just write character out of the series and not even have a passing comment of what happened to them. Especially if the character has some potential.
