It’s been more than three years since Disney+ began bringing Marvel series to TV screens around the world, and they’ve come full circle with Agatha Always.
The series is a spin-off from Marvel’s first Phase 4 series, WandaVision, which many consider to be one of the best series.
Now, everyone’s favorite dark wizard is back to cause more trouble.
After multiple title changes, fans now know it’s Agatha Aaron.
If this show is anything like its sister shows, viewers may be in for a lot of misdirection and twists.
TV Fanatic is here to fill in the rest of the gaps with everything we know so far about Agatha Always Season 1!

What has Agatha been talking about?
At the end of the mini-series WandaVision, the witch Agatha Harkness is trapped in the town of Westview, New Jersey.
In Agatha Always, she escapes with the help of a goth boy who hopes to face the trials of the legendary witch’s path.
Without her magic, Harkness and the maidens formed a new coven to face the ordeal with them.
This will be the second live-action iteration of the eponymous character, who first appeared in WandaVision alongside Elizabeth Olsen.
Agatha Harkness was originally portrayed as a much older mentor to the Scarlet Witch.
However, Kathryn Hahn’s version is younger and more interested in her own agenda.
During the Disney+ Day event in November 2021, it was officially announced that Agatha All the Way would be in theaters, with creator Jac Schaeffer set to direct.
Actress Debra Jo Rupp described the show as an anthology series similar to the different seasons of “American Horror Story.”
How many episodes does Agatha have in season 1?
The miniseries will have an official episode count of nine.
That number matches its sister show, WandaVision .

Although the show wasn’t originally going to get a second season, anything was possible for Agatha.
Who is in the first season of “Agatha”?
Agatha has been bringing in a cast of actors ready to create magic through their chaotic characters.
Kathleen Hahn (Transparent) as Agatha Harkness
Joe Rourke (“Heartbeater”) as Billy Caplan
Sahir Zamata (“Bojack Horseman”) as Jennifer Kyle
Ali Ahn (Billions) as Alice Wu-Gulliver
Miles Gutierrez-Riley (“Into the Wild”) plays Billy’s boyfriend
Okiwi Okpokwasili (Blacklist)
Debra Jo Rupp (That ’90s Show) stars as Sharon Davis
Patty LuPone (“Pulps: City of Angels”) as Lilia Candreau
Aubrey Plaza (“White Lotus”) as Leo Vidal

Maria Dizzia (“School”) and Paul Adelstein (“Cruel Summer”) are also attached to the series in undisclosed roles.
While the cast list will be broader for the sake of the series, we’ll be focusing on the characters we know will likely make the biggest splash.
With multiple media outlets unsure about Rourke’s role, his portrayal of “Billy Caplan” may be another ruse.
In the WandaVision series, Evan Peters is expected to bring his version of Quicksilver from Fox’s X-Men series.
However, much to the audience’s chagrin, this is actually misleading, as the character is simply smitten with Agatha.
The show’s creators have proven they’re not above deceiving audiences, and Agatha has been shrouded in secrecy.
Is there a trailer for Agatha Always Season 1?
You bet there is!
The series released a trailer on July 8, and many critics are talking about how it sets itself apart from other Marvel properties.
It does a great job of building excitement for the upcoming release.
