Marvel is getting witchy in its latest series. Streaming later this month, Agatha All Along sees the return of the witch Agatha Harkness in her very own spin-off.
Forming Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the ‘dark and mysterious’ new series centres around the titular witch, picking up after her beloved appearance in WandaVision. The hit 2021 series – the MCU’s first TV show – marked Agatha’s first appearance in live-action and garnered her waves of new fans.
It saw Agatha placed fourth in Esquire’s list of the MCU’s best characters, behind only Black Panther, Thor and Korg. Now the fan-favourite witch is front-and-centre in her own nine-part series, which sees WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer return to the helm as showrunner and head writer.

Here’s everything you need to know about Agatha All Along.
What is Agatha All Along about?
In the season finale of WandaVision, the infamous Agatha Harkness was stripped of her magical abilities by the Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff, destined to stay in the town of Westview forever. Now she finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth known only as 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.
