Summer Streamin' 24 - Agatha All Along - Miniseries
Halloween strikes again!
Agatha All Along is a miniseries streaming now Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Agatha Harkness.
It's a spin-off (a comic book spin-off, what! SURPRISE) from the series WandaVision (2021).
Agatha All Along is also the 11th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The series is part of Phase Five of the MCU.
Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Agatha Harkness from WandaVision, with Joe Locke, Debra Jo Rupp, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Okwui Okpokwasili, Patti LuPone, Evan Peters, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, and Miles Gutierrez-Riley.
Agatha commenced mid-September, with its first two episodes. Then the final two episodes were released in time for Halloween. It was a short, sharp run for this Marvel/Disney+ series. Watch out - SPOOKY! Spoilers below the trailer.
We flashback to 1750, in episode nine with Agatha giving birth to Nicholas, but is warned by Death that she will eventually take him.
Agatha spends the next six years absorbing other witches' essences while raising Nicholas. Together, they create what will eventually become the Ballad of the Witches' Road, a simple children's song. Eventually, Nicholas grows sick and Death takes him, greatly saddening Agatha.
With nothing to hold her back, she spends the next centuries absorbing other witches' magic by tricking them into gathering covens to open the Road then aggravating them into attacking her.
Then we land in the present, Agatha, now a ghost, tells Billy that he created the Road. He despairs, blaming himself for the deaths of Lilia, Alice, and Sharon, but Agatha tells him that she was going to kill them anyway and that he did rescue Jen.
Billy returns to the house and tries to banish Agatha; she reveals that she is afraid of dying because she cannot face Nicholas. Billy allows Agatha to remain as a ghost. Deciding to take her on as a guide, closing the door of the Road and recording the names of Sharon, Alice and Lilia, Billy and Agatha set out to find Tommy.
So next up in this world of witches and WandaVision, Vision Quest is set to stream on Disney+ in 2026. Yes that's right Marvel are plotting and planning well into 2026.
Marvel are currently referring to the series as Vision Quest, though this was reported to not be its final title. The series is intended to conclude a trilogy of series that includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along.
Filming is expected to begin in early 2025 in England. The Blacklist's James Spader is set to reprise his role of Ultron from Avengers: Age of Ultron.
