As Marvel Studios' WandaVision spin-off, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, continues to round out its cast, the latest addition is none other than multi-time Tony Olivier, and Grammy Award-winning actress/singer, Patti LuPone.

Details on her character are being kept under wraps, but Deadline has heard that she might be playing another witch - hopefully one that's as fond of belting out a tune as star Kathryn Hahn, who performed the Emmy-winning "Agatha All Along" from WandaVision.

The series will also star Joe Locke, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Sasheer Zamata, and Emma Caulfield Ford, reprising her WandaVision role as Dottie. Aubrey Plaza is on board as the villain of the piece, and according a rumor that's gained some traction online, the Legion alum will be playing Morgan Le Fay.

Apparently, Agatha will attempt to keep the powerful sorceress' coven away from Billy Maximoff, who has caught the attention of Mephisto. Whether the demonic baddie will actually appear is unknown, but a previous rumor claims that Sacha Baron Cohen - who will play the character in Ironheart - did film a few scenes for the show.

Coven of Chaos will focus on powerful witch 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.

Just here to say Aubrey Plaza has been amazing lately and I'm excited to see her career explode.

The White Lotus S2 was amazing, might rank it above the first but I loved that too. Emily the Criminal was also quite good. She's been on a great trajectory since Parks and Rec ended.

@regularmovieguy - I liked White Lotus S2 quite a bit as well, but I wouldn't rank it above the first. Kinda missed the explosive weird culmination of the first season.

I thought the S2 finale was pretty explosive in it's own way! ;)

But you're right... S1 was really great and the tension/suspense really built up to a perfect climax.

Man, I have this strange attraction to Audrey Plaza, and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's her deadpan portrayal of most of her characters (and her persona in general), but I find it particularly refreshing given how fakery upbeat Hollywood people can usually be (and, yes, I know that she's probably not THAT deadpan in real life, but kinda...).

Anyhow, very interested to see what she does with the role if true.
