Originally titled Agatha: House of Harkness, Agatha: Coven of Chaos looks set to serve as a sequel to WandaVision. While we're not sure why the character is getting her own six-part series, the expectation is that it will better explain magic's place in the MCU (rumours also persist that Sacha Baron Cohen will show up as Mephisto after debuting in Ironheart).

An appearance from the Scarlet Witch can't be off the table, while recent rumours have suggested we'll see Wiccan play a role in the Disney+ spin-off as well. 

Recently, it was reported that Agatha: Coven of Chaos will feature a new Coven of Witches responsible for freeing "Agnes" from the mental prison Wanda Maximoff trapped her in. That means we're heading back to Westview, and Deadline reports that WandaVision and That '90s Show star Debra Jo Rupp is set to reprise her role as Sharon Davis/"Mrs. Hart."

The actress appeared in five episodes of the Marvel Studios TV series, and with Emma Caulfield Ford also reprising her role as Sarah Proctor/"Dottie Jones," we expect either flashbacks or a glimpse into what became of the town after the Scarlet Witch left with the Darkhold. 

The Agatha: Coven of Chaos cast also includes Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Sasheer Zamata, and Patti LuPone.

WandaVision Head Writer Jac Schaeffer will return in both that role and as executive producer on the spin-off, and our hope is that the show will better explore the place of magic in the MCU. Ironheart will pit science against magic, of course, and between these stories and Werewolf by Night, it seems Marvel Studios is finally going to explore the MCU's supernatural side. 

Agatha: Coven of Chaos is set to premiere on Disney+ sometime in late 2023/early 2024.

Still wish they just made this and Vision Quest into a second season of WandaVision. Part of why I liked that show so much was because of Olsen and Bettany together.

@bkmeijer1 - Maybe, but it’ll be interesting to see Agatha’s redemption now she isn’t corrupted by the Darkhold. Plus, she’s got a bigger part to play, possibly with the Fantastic Four or even the Young Avengers.

@PlusUltra - I don't really see her having a much bigger role outside of introducing us to the world of magic properly. Only Young Avengers I can see her interact with are Billy and Tommy.

@bkmeijer1 - Well, she was the Fantastic Four’s nanny in the comics. They may extend that dynamic she had with the team to the Young Avengers and put her in a mentorship role down the line, but there’s obviously plans for her beyond just extending the world of magic, we just aren’t privy to them yet.

@PlusUltra - that's definitely true. They probably wouldn't give her a show otherwise

I am done with Wanda, it's been done. She is good, bad, good, she is not a villain, marvel has great villains, use someone else, anybody, yet we are still stuck with wanda and her journey. Who care at this point, all this stuff is tertiary marvel anyway, concentrate on primary characters. A bullet to her head and she is dead, she is mortal and can be weak, she deserves it for all the lives and destruction that she has caused. the FF stuff could be cool, but use someone else to tell that story, not this dead horse. I am done with Wanda and coven doesn't need to be told, who cares. Doctor Strange is the Magic center of MCU and Madness because of Wanda was crap. It will bomb.

@cubichy - “ concentrate on primary characters”

If they did that, there wouldn’t be an MCU today. And Scarlet Witch is a big player in Marvel, and has been for the last 60 years. Not only that, but she’s a complex character with a good story to show. There’s a common reason WandaVision racked the most awards of all the Marvel shows and MoM was the biggest Marvel movie of the year, and that’s Wanda.

I'm going to go buy some delicious burritos & forget this silly show even will exist.

Other than Hawkeye(which was great!), I haven't liked most of the MCU TV shows.

...what do you mean they're just now exploring the supernatural side? Does Dr strange mean nothing to you?

Not every product has to be revolutionary. Nor can it be.

@Origame - They’ve made the distinction between sorcery and witchcraft, so they’re different corners. Strange is more mystical, even leaning into the cosmic side, where as the witches probably lean more supernatural, closer to even the monsters like Werewolf by Night and stuff like Blade.

@PlusUltra And it's been done, she was in Ultron, Winter soldier, civil War, infinity and Endgame, Madness plus Wada-vision. Madness would have been so much better if there was a real villain. as far as the shows, viewership, Wada-vision was #4 meaning, people either don't know enough about her or just don't care. I will go see a Thor, Ironman, hulk, Cap movie, i will not go see a Wanda movie, no one would, she is not a primary character. MCU needs villains to hate, that's why Avengers worked, from day one, thanos. Whom is the villain now, Wanda, i don't think so. MCU needs a real big, bad and it isn't either Kang or a variant, this is a steppingstone. It isn't the beyonder either, these are just forces. The really bad guys, like a Zemo, red-skull, doom, the real comic book, evil Loki, annylus, mephisto, will take Howard the duck, just not Wanda, AGAIN. Coven will bomb.

@cubichy - Okay, first of all, the biggest Avengers villains, Loki and Thanos, are villains that people love, to the point one has one of the biggest Disney+ shows.

“I will go see a Thor, Ironman, hulk, Cap”

Good for you. People watched Wanda’s show more than the one with Hulk in it. Further more, people also watched the movie with Wanda in more than Thor last year. You’re not interested in Wanda, that’s fine, but to act as if people ain’t is silly, and borderline ignorant. The excuse that her story has been told because she’s been the same amount of movies the other guys you listed doesn’t make sense, because by that logic, so has their story, and quite literally two of those characters arcs have actually come to a legitimate close, yet you still want more.

So like, it’s cool you’re bored of Wanda, or you just don’t like her, or whatever, and you just want 22 movies of the same 4 characters from Phase 1, but the accolades for her show, the box office numbers for the movie she basically co-led speak volumes. People love Wanda, and want more.

@cubichy - “ MCU needs a real big, bad and it isn't either Kang”

Look, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the comics, but if the Avengers had a arch-nemesis, it would be Kang. He’s more than capable of being the big bad of the MCU for this saga, just as much as Thanos or Doom is, and you’ll see soon enough why.
