Will there be an Agatha All Along season 2?
The two-part finale is streaming now on Disney Plus.
Wandavision spin-off Agatha All Along has landed and become a huge hit for Disney Plus, recapturing the magic of the original series.
Kathryn Hahn (Agatha) and Debra Jo Rupp (Mrs Hart aka Sharon) are among the returning faces, alongside a slew of newcomers including Broadway legend Patti LuPone (Lilia Calderu) and Heartstopper's Joe Locke (Teen aka Billy Kaplan).
The latter is a particularly noteworthy addition to the MCU as a fan-favourite member of the Young Avengers team, and one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ figures from the pages of Marvel Comics.
With the series ending on a dramatic cliffhanger with many loose threads, naturally fans are wondering whether a second season could be on the cards.
Well, fans will be pleased to hear there's a positive update on this front. Here's everything we know so far about a potential Agatha All Along season 2.
Will there be an Agatha All Along season 2?
In short, we don't know just yet, but there has been a couple of positive updates.
On Monday (4th November), Variety reported that Agatha has been submitted for awards consideration under the comedy series category instead of as a limited series, which could be a clue that Agatha might get renewed.
Meanwhile, when showrunner Jac Schaeffer was asked about the possibility of a second season in an interview with The Wrap, she didn't rule out the possibility.
“You know, it’s hard to speak about because I have a lot of awareness of what the handoffs are between different properties," she said in a cryptic answer.
"So really, all I can say is I, as a fan, am so excited about this duo of Billy Maximoff and his spirit guide, Ghost Agatha. And I think that there’s a lot of opportunity there.”
While Agatha All Along stands out as one of the more successful Marvel shows in recent memory, it may very well have been envisaged as a one-and-done miniseries.
Of course, this was the case with Schaeffer's previous MCU show WandaVision, which was a self-contained study of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) that ultimately set the stage for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Likewise, Agatha All Along looks set to have ramifications for future projects, with major characters like Wiccan and Death (Aubrey Plaza's Rio Vidal) introduced – but it's too soon to say whether a second season of Agatha All Along is in their future.
The show's legacy will also live on in how it influences future Marvel commissioning decisions, with executive producer Brad Winderbaum telling Variety that the studio will be looking to tell more lower-budget stories after Agatha's success.
For reference, the show is estimated to have been produced for less than $40 million, which is far less than the jaw-dropping $212 million coughed up for the (vastly inferior) Secret Invasion.
When could a potential Agatha All Along season 2 be released?
If we were to get another season of Agatha All Along, it could be a long time before it appears on our screens.
Schaeffer certainly took her time to craft this spin-off, after all, with roughly three-and-a-half years separating WandaVision and Agatha All Along, so it's possible that she would take a similar break to develop any potential follow-up.
Who could star in a potential Agatha All Along season 2?
We could hardly have a show called Agatha All Along without Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness centre stage, so we'd expect the Parks and Recreation alum to play a role in any future instalments of the show.
Alas, not everyone made it out of the first season alive, so it's unclear who could potentially join her – unless Marvel decides to indulge in resurrecting some fallen comrades (it wouldn't be the first time *cough* Loki *cough* Gamora).
For now, here's a reminder of the key players from Agatha All Along season 1.
- Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness
- Joe Locke as William Kaplan / Billy Maximoff
- Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davis
- Aubrey Plaza as Death / Rio Vidal
- Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale
- Ali Ahn as Alice Wu-Gulliver
- Okwui Okpokwasili as Vertigo
- Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu
- Evan Peters as Ralph Bohner
What could a potential Agatha All Along season 2 be about?
This is another topic that remains open to speculation for now. No doubt fans will be pitching their ideas for Agatha and her coven once they've had a chance to process the two-part finale.
Is there an Agatha All Along season 2 trailer?
Alas, there is no more footage to share at present.
However, Marvel has recently dropped a sneak preview at its other Disney Plus shows coming down the pipeline – including Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart and What If...? season 3.
