Cast members from season two who have come back for another round include Nick Blood as Lance Hunter, Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse, and Henry Simmons, as Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie.

There are several new as well as a few familiar faces that pop up for season three as well. Blair Underwood returns as Andrew Garner and Adrian Pasdar also returns as everyone's favorite military a-hole, Glenn Talbot. Powers Boothe plays one of the major baddies for this season, Gideon Malick, whom some people may recall as one of the shadow faces of the World Security Council from 2012's The Avengers. Actress Constance Zimmer plays a foil to Phil Coulson in the role of Rosalind Price, and some more super-powered Inhumans crop up such as Juan Pablo Raba as Joey Gutierrez, and Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez.
Plot[]
Season three is just chock-full of Marvel Comics craziness, beginning with a one-handed Phil Coulson! A rival intelligence task force called the Advanced Threat Containment Unit (ACTU), led by Rosalind Price is put into place to sanction newly developed Inhumans, who are generating at a rapid pace due to the global distribution of the Terrigen compound. Countering this is Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. unit, who are likewise trying to get a hold of new Inhumans so they can protect them and train them how to control their abilities.
Jemma Simmons is stranded on an alien world, having been sucked through space by way of the Monolith, which S.H.I.E.L.D. is keeping under wraps. This world is home to a legendary alien presence, who may in fact be the first Inhuman. This creature assumes the form of a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and finds his way back to Earth.
Former World Security Council leader Gideon Malick is aware of this alien and believes it to be the entity that first inspired the creation of Hydra. Naturally, he wants to control the entity and use it to take control of the entire world.
