Agatha All Along Trailer, My Thoughts

The Mighty Marvel Cinematic Universe marches on! After WandaVision, that show's head writer, Jac Shaffer, had made several pitches for new series, including usage of the character of Agatha Harkness, who had debuted in WandaVision, portrayed by Kathryn Hahn. 

In October 2021, development started on a new miniseries focused on Harkness. The series would get several titles over development, like Darkhold Diaries, House of Harkness, and Coven of Chaos. In May 2024, the show got its true title: Agatha All Along, named after the song. It was also revealed that the name changes were intentional, a nod to Agatha's messing with people's minds. The series will see Hahn return as Agatha Harkness, alongside Debra Jo Rupp, who also had appeared in WandaVision. The cast also includes Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza, and most interestingly, Joe Locke and Sasheer Zamata will be joining as Billy "Wiccan" Kaplan and Jennifer Kale, respectively.

After the events of WandaVision, Agatha Harkness found herself trapped in Westview, New Jersey. But when she's freed, she and a teenager named Billy Kaplan must join forces and form a new coven to take on the trials of the Witches' Road. So, how is this sneak peek of the MCU's upcoming 11th TV miniseries? Let's look at the trailer!



When Agatha woke up today, she didn't expect to have to play a detective in a murder mystery. You see, that's normally on Thursdays.

I've heard theories that this figure is meant to be the Wanda Maximoff of Earth-838. But I...highly doubt it. I think her name appearing is meant to reflect the events of Multiverse of Madness. Watch that movie, it's good. 

Yeah, I think the events of that movie is why Agatha can now break out of Wanda's spell. 

Agatha wants her powers back. I can imagine this ending very well.

Man, this new Batwoman reboot is WEEEEEEEIRD.

In case you're wondering, the Witches' Road is from James Robinson's 2015-17 Scarlet Witch series. Read it, it's really good. First appearing in the third issue of this series, the Road is an alternate plane of existence that can only be accessed by sorcerers. Hey, does this mean we may get a mention of Natalya Maximoff? In the comics, she was Wanda's biological mother...and the Scarlet Witch before Wanda.

Well, from what I heard, the Road has no signs or rest stops. That can't be legal. 

Yup, this show will be for those who like the spooky. 

"Also, you owe me 50 bucks, Agatha! WHERE IS MY MONEY, WOMAN?!" But seriously, considering how long Agatha has lived, I can imagine she's ticked off quite a lot of people in her time. 

Yeah, that's what happens when you do an exorcism while high on hard drugs.

Well, this looks rather interesting.
