Agatha All Along release date, cast, news

As per the synopsis, "the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell."

The new trailer (which can be viewed at the bottom of this article) was also debuted alongside a special live musical performance from Hahn herself and series co-star Aubrey Plaza, who performed the magical new song, The Ballad of the Witches Road.

They were also joined on the night by fellow co-stars Patti LuPone, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn and Debra Jo Rupp as well as Oscar award-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, as well as Marvel Studios’ President and producer Kevin Feige.

Just a couple of months ago, we finally got word on an official release date for the series so it's safe to say that excitement for the WandaVision spin-off is at an all-time high.

Hahn previously spoke to RadioTimes.com about the spin-off, describing it as "a total surprise".

She said: "I mean, you'd have to be a deep diving... comic book aficionado to know Agatha Harkness from the comics. I had never heard of her before.

"And so the fact that this is happening is just testament to the incredible writing [and] the, you know, weird timing. It's so bananas."

Hahn added: "It's going to be such a great, fun dive into [that world]... It's so meta that WandaVision was a show about sitcoms, and of course, it's going to have a spin-off. It just makes total sense, in a very meta way."

Agatha All Along release date

Agatha All Along will land on Disney Plus on Wednesday 18th September 2024, with a two-episode premiere.

A winter 2023/2024 release period was previously confirmed by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Since then, we had the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, so everything was pushed back a little bit.

Back in January, Hahn revealed that filming had almost wrapped.

Sharing an update at the Emmys, she The Hollywood Reporter: "We just have a few more days to pick up but we've got most of it done. Very exciting!"

Asked how eager she is for Marvel fans to see it, she responded: "Marvel fans and anyone who loves a witch! I can't wait for people to see it. I can't wait for people to see it!"

Agatha All Along cast

The following cast members have been confirmed for Agatha All Along.

• Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness
• Emma Caulfield as Dottie
• Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu
• Joe Locke as Billy Kaplan
• Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal
• Ali Ahn as Alice
• Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale
• Kate Forbes as Evanora Harkness
• Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davies
• Emma Caulfield Ford as Sarah Proctor
• David Lengel as Harold Proctor
• David Payton as John Collins
• Asif Ali as Alibash Tandon
• Miles Gutierrez-Riley as TBC
• Okwui Okpokwasili as TBC
• Maria Dizzia as TBC

Kathryn Hahn will reprise her role as the mischievous witch Agatha Harkness after making her MCU debut in WandaVision.

The character was last seen being placed under a spell and returning to her nosey neighbour guise as Agnes by Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). For this reason, it is possible that Wanda could make a return appearance in this series.

However, we will have to see how she could return, following her fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Elsewhere, WandaVision supporting character Dottie will also be back, played once again by Emma Caulfield. Meanwhile, Patti LuPone will portray a 450-year-old Sicilian witch, with Aubrey Plaza, Kathryn Hahn and Joe Locke in her coven.

"It's a coven of witches, and I play Lilia Calderu, who apparently is in the Marvel world. I researched her, she's hot, she's really hot, she's got a great body and hair," LuPone said when asked about the show.

"I didn't know there were witches, I didn't know anything about the Marvel world. There are witches in the Marvel world.

"So, we are a coven of witches and the witches are: Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza, and [a] Familiar — if anybody knows Heartstopper — is Joe Locke."

LuPone went on to describe Calderu — who debuted in Marvel comics in 1973 — as "a 450-year-old Sicilian witch whose power is divination and whose trial is tarot".

The series will also see the return of Emma Caulfield Ford as Westfield resident Dottie, with the character having previously been the subject of many theories during the original series.

Of course, nothing has been confirmed at this stage about Dottie, and Caulfield was careful not to reveal specifics during an interview with Vanity Fair.

"That is super fun. There’s a couple of things, actually. There’s another thing which I also can’t really say," she said. Does that mean she could be getting her own version of the Emmy-winning tune Agatha All Along?

Caulfield will be joined by plenty of newcomers to the MCU, including Plaza, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia and Sasheer Zamata.

Finally, we could see the addition of further magical characters from Marvel Comics, including Agatha's evil son Nicholas Scratch and his children, Salem's Seven.

Is there a trailer for Agatha All Along?

Yes, the show's first trailer has landed. Watch below:

A teaser trailer was initially released one month ago, which you can also watch below.

Agatha All Along plot: What could happen?

The series Agatha All Along is set after the events of WandaVision, with Agatha Harkness losing her powers and living as Agnes in Westview.

When a teenager helps her break free, they set out on a magical journey.

The official synopsis reads: "In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness (Hahn) finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen (Joe Locke) helps break her free from a distorted spell.

"Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they're missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road."

The series might be set after the events of WandaVision, but it could also flash back and show us Agatha's origins following the flashbacks shown in WandaVision where Agatha stopped herself from being burned at the stake for practising dark magic by her mother Evanora Harkness and their coven in Salem, 1693.

Could Agatha's past actions come back to haunt her?

The previous title of House of Harkness suggested that perhaps Agatha's family plays a role in the story. Could we see more from Evanora, played by Kate Forbes?

It's likely that the series will also introduce Agatha's son, the sorcerer and supervillain Nicholas Scratch, with whom she shares a fractious relationship and who has tried to kill her in the past.

Additionally, Scratch's seven children - thus Agatha's grandchildren - are supervillains named Brutacus, Gazelle, Hydron, Reptilla, Thornn, Vakume and Vertigo. Together, they form the shapeshifting sorcerer team known as Salem's Seven.

Could these characters appear in the series? We'll have to wait and see.

Agatha All Along premieres on Disney Plus on Wednesday 18th September 2024. WandaVision is available now. Sign up to Disney Plus from £4.99 a month.
