Premiere: TBD Fall 2024
One of the biggest WandaVision highlights was Kathryn Hahn‘s performance as Agnes / Agatha Harkness, a role that garnered Hahn am Emmy nomination. So being it came with little surprise when in October 2021 a trade report announced that there was an Agatha-centric series in development at Marvel Studios. Hahn is set to return as the witch that kept herself hidden in plain sight throughout the first Marvel Studios streaming series, this time taking center-stage as the MCU expands its foray into its witchcraft mythology. After originally be titled Agatha: House of Harkness, the show’s title changed to Agatha: Coven of Chaos and then again to Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.
Jac Schaeffer, who brought Agatha to life in WandaVision, is heading up the show for Marvel Studios.
The series is reportedly eyeing a 2023 production start, something that would hint at a 2024 Disney+ release. Kathryn Hahn later confirmed that the show would begin production around November 2022.
A couple of rumors surfaced in late 2022, one regarding a possible appearance by Billy Kaplan (a.k.a. Wiccan) and Teddy Altman (a.k.a. Hulkling) and the other focusing on the possible adaptation of elements from the comics’ The Children’s Crusade storyline. In November 2022, Joe Locke joined the cast as Billy Maximoff/Billy Kaplan/Wiccan.
Ali Ahn, Emma Caulfield, Patti LuPone, Debra Jo Rupp and Sasheer Zamata all joined the cast as part of Agatha’s coven and Aubrey Plaza will play the mysterious Rio Vidal.
