As Marvel Studios' Agatha: Coven of Chaos continues to bolster its ever-growing ensemble, the latest addition is Saturday Night Live and Woke alum Sasheer Zamata.
Deadline reports that the actress/comedian has signed on for a key supporting role, but, as it so often the case, no other details on her character were revealed. However, the trade does note that other recent cast additions Ali Ahn and Maria Dizzia are believed to be playing witches.
Granted, that's not exactly a major revelation given the premise of the WandaVision spin-off!
Kathryn Hahn will reprise the role of Agatha, with Heartstopper star Joe Locke on board as the male lead (possibly Wiccan), and Aubrey Plaza on villain duties. Emma Caulfield Ford is also set to return as Westview resident, Dottie.
Coven of Chaos will focus on powerful sorceress Agatha Harkness, who almost managed to defeat the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in the season finale of WandaVision before being bested and trapped in Westview in her "nosy neighbor Agnes" persona. Though Olsen is not expected to appear, there's speculation that Wanda might have something to do with Harkness' release and/or reformation following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Jac Schaeffer, who is under a joint overall deal with Marvel and 20th Television, will serve as writer and executive producer. A recent report indicated that he will also helm at least one episode.
No premiere date has been announced.
