Warning: Spoilers forward for season 1 of Agatha All Alongside.
If I needed to title a giant TV shock that premiered within the again half of 2024, I might have to choose Agatha All Alongside. Positive, I’ve loved a good quantity of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ exhibits previously, however we have been feeling down on this entire factor for some time, and this particular sequence felt prefer it was arriving too late after WandaVision wowed most viewers in early 2021.
With the entire season (it was deliberate to be a restricted sequence) now behind us, it is time to ponder and talk about what Agatha and [redacted]’s on-screen future may be after that finale left a door extensive open and completely closed this twin character arc in a passable method. For Marvel.com, sequence creator Jac Schaeffer had some solutions… in addition to one obscure tease.
“What I really like about episode 9 is that we go all the best way to her fact… This can be a character that was launched as a strolling lie. The present is in some ways a lie: It’s very theatrical, and a lot is performative and about carrying masks and costumes,” Schaeffer stated in regards to the finale, which was an odd one in that it served as an epilogue for each Billy Maximoff and Agatha Harkness, giving each characters sufficient room to breathe and develop a bit additional after the principle plot had been wrapped up.
Certainly, the finale let Kathryn Hahn do one thing fully totally different with the twisted witch as we discovered extra about her relationship with Demise (Aubrey Plaza) and the loss of life of his son, Nicholas Scratch. The writers additionally did not let Harkness get away with all of the evil she’d induced scot-free; she will get a (lovely) deserved loss of life, but that does not imply her journey is over. Her new ghostly kind will remind many MCU followers, players, and comedian ebook readers of her position in Midnight Suns, and that provides plenty of intriguing potentialities for the universe’s extra fantastical and magic-oriented aspect.
“It wasn’t about killing off the character… It was in regards to the evolution of this character,” the showrunner teased, just about confirming afterwards there was extra to come back whether or not it is a shock second season or a job elsewhere, particularly now that she’s becoming a member of Billy (aka Wiccan) as he searches for his misplaced twin Tommy. “I nonetheless really feel like there’s extra highway to discover with Agatha as a ghost… Prepare.” Here is hoping she will get to mentor and information the Midnight Sons each time they get collectively within the MCU too.
