Fazekas talked about how the series would relate to the One-Shot, saying, "The short really is the basis for the series. [Carter]'s working at S.S.R., post-war... If you think of the short as sort of the end of the series, the series would be leading up to that moment where she gets assigned to S.H.I.E.L.D." On the characters appearing in the series, Fazekas stated that she did not "know how much of the short will live in this series", with Butters adding, "I think obviously there'll be some exciting people that you've seen before and new characters that populate her world. But what I like about [Carter] so much is it's very much a Marvel property. It will have all those things you saw in the short, but we will really get to explore the emotional character".[35] On the series relationship with the films, Fazekas said "Because Peggy comes from their movies, Louis D'Esposito and Kevin Feige are very invested in this and they've been really collaborative and very generous with their world."[34]
