Disney Plus is heading back to the world of WandaVision with the highly anticipated spin-off Agatha All Along. Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff had plenty of time in the spotlight with the streamer’s first MCU original series. Now it’s Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness’s time to shine.
As the trailer teases, Agatha All Along finds Wanda’s witchy nemesis in a troubling position: She’s lost all her powers. Thanks to the help of a mysterious goth teen (played by Showstopper’s Joe Locke), Agatha puts together a rag-tag coven of witches to help on her mission to walk the Witches’ Road — a gauntlet filled with trials and tests that, if passed, will grant her power back.
The story of a powerless supernatural being heading on a mission to regain their otherworldly abilities isn’t new. It’s the gist of Sandman’s first season on Netflix.
If the narrative formula ain’t broke, why fix it?

Kathryn Hahn returns as Agatha Harkness in Agatha All Along on Disney Plus.
Disney Plus has slowly dipped its toes into the horror realm with recent outings like the Goosebumps reboot and 2022’s Werewolf By Night special. It’s been more than three years since WandaVision brought Marvel’s Phase 4 to television, and now audiences will finally get a full-length Marvel series chock-full of genre goodness. While fans wait for the return of Stranger Things and Wednesday, Agatha All Along will surely scratch that spooky Halloween itch.
Joining Hahn and Locke in the series are Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, Debra Jo Rupp (as Mrs. Hart), Patti LuPone (as Lilia Calderu) and Aubrey Plaza. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer.
Schaeffer, who previously wrote on WandaVision, is the showrunner and directs the supernatural series alongside Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Montiero.
Agatha All Along will premiere its first two episodes on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET, 2 a.m. BST) on Disney Plus.
