Everything we know about Agatha All Along

After narrowly surviving a brush with Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff in 2021’s WandaVision, Kathryn Hahn’s evil spell-caster Agatha Harkness is getting her very own Marvel show in Agatha All Along.

News of the show’s arrival landed just months after WandaVision ended, thanks, in part, to Agatha’s instant popularity among viewers. The character’s new stand-alone series promises to share many of the same ingredients as its predecessor, including some familiar faces and a darkly comic flavour.

It’ll also form part of Phase Five of Marvel’s ongoing cinematic universe.

What else do we know? Keep scrolling as we open Agatha’s spellbook to find out what she has in store for her debut Disney+ series.

When will Agatha All Along be released?

Agatha All Along will arrive on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, 18 September, after being delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Given its supernatural storyline, its arrival in the lead-up to Halloween like a good placement for the series.

The remaining seven episodes will air weekly.

Marvel fans have been waiting a long time for Agatha’s solo adventure. The spin-off was first announced in October 2021, and filming wrapped in May 2023. The show underwent several name changes settling on its final title, which is taken from a song in WandaVision — it started as Agatha: House of Harkness and evolved into Agatha: Coven of Chaos, then Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.

Is there a trailer for Agatha All Along?

Not yet. But as soon as one is conjured up, you’ll find it here, so check back soon.

Who is in the cast of Agatha All Along?

In addition to Kathryn Hahn returning as Agatha Harkness, the Disney+ show will also feature Parks and Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal, a new villainous character and member of Agatha’s coven.

Heartstopper’s Joe Locke joins the series as a familiar called Billy Kaplan, a character that’ll no doubt be familiar to readers of the Young Avengers comics, with Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu, a decades-old witch who joins covens with Agatha.

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Sasheer Zamata will play Jennifer Kale, a powerful sorceress from the Marvel comics universe, with Ali Ahn and Maria Dizzia also reported to be playing witches.

Miles Gutierrez-Riley will also appear as Hulkling, boyfriend to Locke’s character Billy.

Former WandaVision stars Debra Jo Rupp, Emma Caulfield Ford, David Payton, David Lengel, Asif Ali, Amos Glick and Brian Brightman will also star, alongside Kate Ford as Agatha’s mum Evanora.

Okwui Okpokwasili is also confirmed to appear in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

What happens in Agatha All Along?

Despite the release date being confirmed, little is known about the story of this WandaVision spin-off.

According to a synopsis included within an American Copyright Notice listing, “In the first episode, we see Agatha finally break out of a spell she has been trapped in.

“She can’t wait to go back to her old murderous ways only to find that she is powerless,” it continues. “The only way forward for her is to embark on a perilous quest to get her powers back with the help of an unlikely friend or two.”

So far, that’s all we have to go off. However, it sets things up nicely for a series that’s bound to be full of misdirection and twist surprises.

Agatha All Along will premiere on Disney+ on 18 September.
