Isabelle Hartley and her crew of mercenaries join up with Coulson to help rebuild SHIELD following its infiltration by the terrorist group Hydra.
Speaking to TV Line , Lawless discussed Isabelle Hartley's relationship with Coulson.
"Well, SHIELD has been smashed by the treachery of Ward (Brett Dalton), who's revealed himself to be a double agent and now Coulson has to pick up the pieces," Lawless said.
"You get to see globally how many agents they've got and the one person he feels he can trust to spearhead this move is an old friend, Isabelle Hartley."
Lawless also spoke about how Isabelle Hartley's team members Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) and Idaho (Wilmer Calderon) will work with the established SHIELD crew.
"Lance Hunter is like her favourite nephew," Lawless revealed. "He's played by Nick Blood, who's just incredible, a terrific actor."

She continued: "Hunter is in it just for the money, so he's a bit confused by Isabelle's adherence to Coulson's wishes, but she and Coulson go back a long way.
"I think they've really been in the trenches together and whatever side he's on, she's on. Idaho is a valued member of her team, someone she has mentored. He's got skills. Mad skills."
Adrianne Palicki will also be signing up with Coulson's forces as the Marvel superhero Mockingbird.
ABC airs the second season's opener on Tuesday (September 23) at 9pm ET in the US. Channel 4 airs the show in the UK.
