Marvel has unveiled the first trailer for “Agatha All Along,” the upcoming spinoff of the hit Disney+ series “WandaVision.”
Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Agatha Harkness in the “WandaVision” spinoff series. Jac Schaeffer, head writer of “WandaVision,” serves as executive producer and head writer for the show. Variety exclusively broke the news on the upcoming Marvel series for Disney+ back in October 2021.
The official logline reads: “The infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road.”

The cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Debra Jo Rupp and more. The trailer mashes together genres as it begins like a hardboiled murder mystery with Hahn playing a detective investigating Wanda’s dead body (after she seemingly died at the end of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”). Then all sorts of witch mayhem ensues, and Agatha reunites with some old sorceress pals to regain her power.
In “WandaVision,” Hahn is first introduced as Agnes, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision’s (Paul Bettany) nosy neighbor in Westview. Eventually, she reveals her true identity as Agatha, a powerful witch who has lived for centuries due to her magical abilities. After an epic fight in the “WandaVision” finale between Agatha and Wanda, the superhero uses her powers to trap Agatha as her fake persona Agnes.
Before the title was revealed to be “Agatha All Along,” Marvel built up mystery around the series by calling it “Agatha: House of Harkness,” “Coven of Chaos,” “Darkhold Diaries” and “The Lying Witch With Great Wardrobe” — but it was clear Agatha was up to her witchy antics and fiddling with the title.
The hit song “Agatha All Along,” written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, also became an internet sensation after its debut in the seventh episode of “WandaVision.” Although the return of “Agatha All Along” for the spinoff has not been confirmed, the Oscar-winning songwriters spoke to Variety about the inspiration behind the iconic melody.
“Agatha All Along” will debut with two episodes on Sept. 18 on Disney+. Watch the trailer below.
