One of the fewMarvel projects coming this yearand the only remaining TV show that is confirmed to release in 2024 just got an exciting update from one of Marvel’s big wigs. While speaking on theOfficial Marvel Podcast, Marvel Studios Head of TV and StreamingBrad Winderbaumtalked about several upcoming MCU TV shows, includingAgatha All Along, which is confirmed to premiere on Disney+ this September.Agatha All Alongis theWandaVisionspin-off series which will follow Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) and her new coven of witches; it is unknown at this time ifElizabeth Olsenwill reprise her role as the Scarlet Witch in the series. When asked what fans can expect fromAgatha All Along, Winderbaum had this to say:
“It’s really fun, but it’s really scary and it gets quite dramatic. [Agatha] is an amazing anti-hero. [It] lures you in with the fun of Halloween and before you know it, you’re crying too.”
If anyone has the potential to deliver a performance worthy of laughter, tears, and terror, it’s Hahn. It appearsAgatha All Alongis being billed as a part-horror series, which would make it Marvel’s second horror-adjacent project behindDoctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which acclaimed horror andSpider-MandirectorSam Raimireturned to helm.Doctor Strange 2also featured Olsen’s Scarlet Witch as the feature villain, and if an appearance from her is in line inAgatha All Along,Marvel Studiosmay have found their own scream queen in Wanda Maximoff.
‘Agatha All Along’ Is a Halloween Show
Marvel Studios has had holiday projects dating all the way back toIron Man 3in Phase 2, and continuing into the Multiverse Saga with theGuardians of the Galaxy Holiday SpecialandWerewolf by Night.Agatha All Alongis confirmed to be nine episodes and premiere on September 18, meaning the penultimate eighth episode will premiere the day before Halloween on October 30. Winderbaum is well aware of the spooky implications, and leaned into it while speaking about the show on the podcast:
“[Agatha All Along] is Marvel’s brand of scary. It’s a Halloween show. there are deadly stakes in this series. It’s a fun ride, but it’s a dangerous one.”
You can count us all the way in on a spooky season headlined by Hahn playing thesinister but hilarious witch, Agatha Harkness. One of Marvel’s biggest complaints for years was that the projects felt too"cookie cutter,“and it seems apparent that the upcomingAgathaspin-off show will be unlike anything the MCU has tackled before. WithAgatha All Alongnot premieringunder the Marvel Spotlight bannerand deadly high stakes, it’s possible fans may be in for more MCU connections with other witches and sorcerers.
The first two episodes ofAgatha All Alongpremiere later this year on September 18. Stay tuned to Collider for future Marvel updates and watch Agatha inWandaVision, streaming onDisney+.
