I didn't know about this until I listed to a podcast review of all the Marvel Phase 1 movies.
ABC TV gave the greenlight to film a TV pilot for a S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series which takes place AFTER the Avengers film. And Clark Gregg returns with his character Phil Coulson resurrected. Apparently it was officially announced at NY Comic Con last Oct, but I had no idea.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a planned American television series developed by Joss Whedon, in collaboration with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. It will be produced by Marvel Television, air on the ABC network, and will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing continuity with the films in that franchise. The series will revolve around the character of Phil Coulson, with Clark Gregg reprising the role. A pilot, written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, and directed by Joss Whedon, was given the green-light in late 2012 and filmed in early 2013.
Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson: An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who oversees many of the division's field operations.[2] The character will headline the series.[3] At the 2013 South by Southwest festival, Joss Whedon confirmed that Coulson is alive in this series after his apparent death in The Avengers.[4] When describing his character's return from the dead, Gregg said, "When Joss described to me the mystery? and the complexity and the unanswered questions about Phil Coulson standing there trying to deal with this, I found it so fascinating and so true to the world of the comics and mythology in general as I understand them that I was immediately in.?[5]
