Marvel Television Boss Addresses Potential For Second Seasons Of AGATHA ALL ALONG And HAWKEYE

Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum has addressed the possibility of bringing back shows like Agatha All Along and Hawkeye for second seasons, and it sounds like there could be more to come from both.

Agatha All Along was a follow-up to WandaVision that shifted the spotlight away from the Scarlet Witch and The Vision to instead focus on Agatha Harkness. However, the revelation that "Teen" was secretly Billy Maximoff proved to be a game-changer and the series ended with Wiccan and Agatha's ghost setting off to find his brother, Tommy.

We've heard on multiple occasions that Agatha All Along was meant as a one-off, but if there's no season 2 on the way, when and where will Billy and Tommy's story continue? The upcoming Vision series is a compelling possibility, though it also doesn't quite feel like the right fit. 

Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, weighed in on the odds of continuing the Agatha All Along story with a second season. 

"I think it's 'linear series potential,'" the executive explained. "A show like Agatha, to me, is concept-based. Yes, a second season for sure is something that we would want to do, but let's not rush it. Let's get the right idea and then make it."

When it was put to him that star Patti LuPone recently said showrunner Jac Schaeffer had dismissed the notion of Agatha All Along season 2, Winderbaum replied, "All I know is Patti's unbelievable. Her performance in that series is just incredible. That show, that's one of my favorite things hands down that I've been a part of."

"And the chemistry of that cast and Jac in that showrunner role, it just really was magic. Sorry, that's cheesy, but it really was."

Winderbaum later singled out Hawkeye as another series with the potential to return. The first batch of episodes dropped in December 2021 (before Jeremy Renner's snow plough accident) and we've since heard that a second season would revolve around Clint Barton and Kate Bishop battling the Avenger's brother, Trickshot. 

"Hawkeye is another one that feels like you can make a second season of that show because it's Christmas, because it's Clint and Kat," he teased. "You can kind of revisit it whenever, and we're looking for opportunities to do that. But as we develop things for the future, I think they're going to be designed to be multiple seasons, have more of a pattern, and be able to be released annually."

The moment may have passed for more Hawkeye, though we expect Clint and Kate to have decent supporting roles in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Beyond that, it looks like the younger Hawkeye is a lock for Champions, the MCU's take on the Young Avengers.

Let us know your thoughts on these updates in the usual place.

I liked their approach of doing connected limited series. Like Agatha being an indirect sequel to WandaVision. I think that's interesting and probably more interesting than seeing the same series constantly repeated. There's room for both, no doubt, but I like the family of shows.

@Itwasme - true or Hawkeye into Echo I guess

That connected storytelling is fun.

@Itwasme - Yeh some things it works better as standalone whilst effectively have a second season or two like a Westview saga of WandaVision, Agatha and Vision Quest where each could be viewed as standalone or as direct sequels.

Others play far more into long running show potential like Daredevil and Hawkeye (and previously stuff like Agents of Shield) IF they can continue to come up with good stories to go with for them. That highlights the downside of season every year formats, too easy to run out of good ideas to run with over time (as well as staying close enough to fit into canon alongside other films/shows) which the connected limited way tends not to have esp if not forced to rush into the next one immediately and left as a we can return to it if and when we have a good story to tell.

I tend to think a second Agatha all Along, from a title PoV would be wrong now she is a ghost and thus unlikely to be the lead character let alone the whole thing revolve around her. IF they do what in effect would be a second season the title should switch to one Wiccan and/or Speed related.

@Itwasme -

Agatha wasn't made because of a desire to tell an entertaining story, but because of a desire to indoctrinate people with The Message.

Hawkeye was mostly enjoyable. One of the better D+ Marvel shows. Which isn't saying a whole lot.

I completely agree.

One of the least bad post Endgame MCU things.

I would love to see second seasons of both Agatha and Hawkeye since I liked both but Winderbaum is right in that better to do it when they feel they have the right idea for it rather then just for the sake of doing so.

Agatha seemed to tee up the premise for a S2 with her and Billy going on their search for Tommy but that could be being saved for Vision or perhaps even Champions etc.

When/if they do a Hawkeye S2 , I hope we get backstory on this version of Clint and Trickshot.

Agatha was peak but doesn't need a second season. Continue the narrative in the vision show.

Hawkeye should get a second season. Focus on Kate with Clint in a very supporting role

Hawkeye S2 yes but if they actually show more of Clint otherwise no.

Hawkeye was great adaptation of the Matt Fraction comic. I'd love a S2.

They aren't happening because the MCU is getting a reboot by 2032.

They still don’t realise the problem was the writing do they? Multi season shows can still be just as shit if the writing is as poor. We saw that with the Netflix shows they’re trying to relaunch
