2025 Entry #60 10-30-24 “Agatha All Along” is an American television miniseries created by Jac Schaeffer for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character of Agatha Harkness. The series is essentially Season 2 of the 2021 Marvel miniseries, “WandaVision” (2021) and shares continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Schaeffer served as showrunner and lead director.
The series features queer talent, like Joe Locke as the mysterious “teen”, Miles Gutierrez-Riley as the teen’s loving boyfriend Eddie, and Sasheer Zamata as the bound witch, Jennifer Kale. Queer icons Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza & Kathryn Hahn also appear in the series, and the past relationship of the latter two as title character Agatha and the mysterious Green Witch known as Rio Vidal, is an essential element of the story. The series also confirms the queer nature of two characters who were themselves introduced in the aforementioned “WandaVision”.
This series is a delight! I loved “WandaVision” and I love most of Marvel so I’m a bit biased. I do however know people who enjoyed this who were somehow ignorant of the fact that it is a sequel or part of a larger story, but I’d recommend at least watching “WandaVision” before this series – and if possible, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” between them – because these 3 stories weave in and out of one another – and all of them feature queer characters. I always hoped that one of these queer characters would be introduced but I doubted they ever would! And not only has it now happened, but it happened in this impressive puzzle box of a series that genuinely surprised me with several of its twists.
I should warn people, I suppose, that the ending sets up more stories, which is pretty typical of Marvel, but these stories have a good chance at being made as this series was a big hit for Disney / Marvel! Rumors persist that this series will get a second season as it was nominated for awards outside the “limited series” categories and Disney+ has begun listing it as “Season 1”. Additionally, an alternate version of Agatha (still seemingly queer) & Vision have already returned in an episode of another series (“What If…?”) and another alternate take on Wanda is expected to appear in Marvel Zombies in October of 2025 – while the version of Vision from the parent series is also expected to return in his own spotlight show in 2026.
Highly recommended! Especially if you’re a Marvel fan!
Edit: This series has since been described the the middle part in a trilogy, made up of “WandaVision”, “Agatha All Along” & “VisionQuest”, an upcoming miniseries. Again, I’d include “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” between ‘Wanda’ & ‘Agatha’ but otherwise this seems to make sene. The new series is expected in late 2026.
