AGATHA ALL ALONG Still Reveals The Villain's "Covenless Witches" And A Returning WANDAVISION Character

A new look at Agatha All Along has been revealed, showcasing Agatha Harkness' "covenless witches," but why is a familiar face from WandaVision among them? See that, and hear from Jac Schaeffer, right here!

As expected, WandaVision eventually revealed that it had been "Agatha All Along." The Scarlet Witch put an end to her machinations, though, leaving the villain trapped inside her Agnes persona in Westview. 

Agatha will somehow return this September in the appropriately titled Agatha All Along on Disney+ and, according to Head Writer Jac Schaeffer (WandaVision), she'll be joined by "a disparate, mixed bag of witches."

That includes Patti LuPone's Lilia, Sasheer Zamata's Jennifer, Debra Jo Rupp's Sharon, and Ali Ahn's Alice. We're not sure if that's a typo on Empire's part, but it seems there was more to Jo Rupp's Mrs. Hart than met the eye!

"What they have in common is that they’re covenless witches," Schaeffer adds. "Witches are defined by deception, treachery, villainy and selfishness. What do you do when you have a group of witches who [demonstrate] those notions and you need them to work together?"

"[Where] WandaVision played with the form of classic TV sitcoms, [here] we do a lot of playing with what the assumptions about witches are," she continues. "Like, what are the shorthand visuals for witches? We certainly didn’t want a one-dimensional nasty witch. We will have moments where we see Agatha’s true heart."

A new still from Agatha All Along has also been released showcasing the title character's new allies. 

Agatha will feature the return of many familiar faces from WandaVision, including Emma Caulfield Ford (Sarah Proctor), Debra Jo Rupp (Sharon Davis), David Payton (John Collins), David Lengel (Harold Proctor), Asif Ali (Abilash Tandon), Amos Glick (Dennis), Brian Brightman (Sheriff Miller), and Kate Forbes (Evanora Harkness). 

Kathryn Hahn will lead the ensemble, of course, while other noteworthy additions include Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, and Maria Dizzia.

Very few official plot details have been revealed for Agatha, though we expect it to largely revolve around Agatha tracking down Billy Maximoff (or vice versa) who, like his comic book counterpart, has been "reincarnated" as Billy Kaplan. 

Various scoopers have claimed the story will also feature the descendants of Evanora Harkness' coven - now known as the Salem Seven - coming back to claim their revenge on the woman who killed their mothers. 

Agatha All Along premieres on Disney+ on September 18.

Wait, if they're all witches coming together to practice witchcraft together, doesn't that make them a coven, thusly they aren't covenless?

@Origame - Yeah the covenless thing is semantics. It’s typically used as a term for a group of witches. Maybe because it’s less organized or doesn’t have 13 members they feel like the term doesn’t apply, but it’s more or less a coven.

@Starlight - Agatha will look into the camera and say "this truly is a coven of chaos"

Covens of witches seem to be very popular in Disney products lately. At least they are really locking down that crowd that loves that stuff. Next up, Hocus Pocus 3 and a relaunch of The Craft.

@mountainman - When have witches not been common in Disney products, just been getting more and more good and/or shade of grey ones over time since the days of original Sabrina series (and Bewitched before that) whereas once upon a time they were all 2D pure evil ones going all the way back to Snow White :D

There is, however, to be fair a more general increase in all things occult again it seems, there is always ebbs and flows in how much we get of such things but seen more of them again recently (across all studios even if some doing more than others).

@Apophis71 - Don’t deny anything you are saying, just calling out a trend I see that I have zero interest in. Witch content seems to be niche and only popular with certain people so it just seems weird to shove it into all your big IPs.

I hope all those who like watching things about witches enjoy this. I will be skipping. My guess is this one won’t be that popular with audiences (mainstream appeal/viewers not a guess on its review scores).

The most stream content looking content I've ever seen lol. They gave her a show all because of a catchy jingle

@bobevanz - I bet that the creater and showrunner of the highly successful, critically acclaimed WandaVision pitching a followup had more to do with it than the jingle, but the jingle certainly didn't hurt.

Sounds interesting imo!!.

Also I think it was already confirmed that Sasheer Zamata was playing the MCU version of Jennifer Kale but I think going by the names , Patti Lupone is playing Lilia Calderu & Ali Ahn is playing Alice Wu.

Still feel like this whole show was greenlit off the back of a theme song.

Wait, did they change the title of this again? Did I miss that?
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 6/28/2024, 3:13 PM
@dagenspear - The consensus view seems to be they never actualy changed the title, that is was always 'Agatha all along' and the whole changing title thing was just a marketing thing setting up the 'Joke' that it was Agatha All Along...

...but yeh, feels like it was a good few weeks back it was confirmed but I'll do a quick check.

At this point, does anyone even remember WHAT is was Agatha was doing All Along?

WandaVision was like 100 years ago in attention span years.

This one is DOA
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 6/28/2024, 3:22 PM
@Batmangina - Mostly playing along with her nosey neighbour act whilst trying to work out how and why Wanda was doing what she was doing whilst at times pushing or testing her to determine what to do about her prior to trying to take her powers (thus kill her).

I get a lot won't be interested in this, and unlikely to be required viewing at all for the films, but considering how well recieved WandaVision was, the cast and that there is a decent enough size market for witch related stuff (even if considered niche) it will do well enough and if it is GOOD could end up doing well (by D+ standards at least) but we'll see.

NGL I'd prefer a proper teaser poster than said picture, a lot going on right from the get-go. Even an official still of just Agatha would have sufficed.

That pic kinda looks like they found the giant stash of cocaine that I keep in the secret storage space in the bottom of my basement. Wait... did I just say that out loud?

Um, *sniff* look guys I've got *sniff* a lot of work to do and *sniff* I think I just heard a pipe break or something in the basement so *sniff* I've gotta go. TTYL!
