WandaVision spinoff with Kathryn Hahn's Agatha is in the works
It'southward been Agatha all along! Disney Plus is reportedly developing a WandaVision spinoff starring Kathryn Hahn. Like, duh — the Emmy nominee played the breakout character on Marvel'due south acclaimed first Disney Plus series. Fans have been clamoring for a spinoff ever since the WandaVision finale, and this follows increasingly articulate signs that WandaVision season 2 isn't happening.
Marvel hasn't confirmed Variety'southward written report that Hahn is set to reprise the office of Agatha Harkness in a spinoff described every bit a "nighttime comedy."

What to know about Agatha Harkness
Hahn'south character was first introduced on WandaVision equally Agnes, the stereotypical nosy neighbor found in sitcoms. In the kickoff few episodes, she's portrayed as a joke-telling, winking sidekick to Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen).
Then, in episode 7, Agnes confessed she was Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch. She had been manipulating events in the Hex — even tricking Wanda into believing Ralph Bohner (Evan Peters) was her brother Pietro. Her deportment were delightfully recapped in the song "Agatha All Along," written by Oscar winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. (The splendid tune won an Emmy, as it deserved.)
Episode 8 revealed Agatha'southward back story: In 1693 Salem, Massachusetts, a coven of witches led by her own female parent attempted to execute her for practicing dark magic. Instead, she drained them of their magic and life forces.
Now, some 330 years later, Agatha wanted to practise the same to Wanda. She revealed that Wanda is capable of anarchy magic and is, in fact, the mythical Cerise Witch. A battle ensued, but Wanda prevailed and drained Agatha of her magic instead.
Before leaving Westview, Wanda took down the Hex, but left Agatha trapped in the character of Agnes.
Will the Agatha spinoff of WandaVision be a prequel or sequel?
An Agatha-centric spinoff of WandaVision could really be virtually annihilation. More often than not, though, the possibilities are divided into a prequel or sequel of WandaVision.
A prequel could explore Agatha's time after the Salem witch trial, as she develops her nighttime magic skills. There are over 300 years to work with, giving Schaeffer enough of space to tell whatever story the writers come up with. The spinoff is described as a dark comedy, though, so we probably shouldn't look a state of war-time setting.
A sequel gives the writers less room, since they'll accept to work within the canon set by the current and upcoming movies and Disney Plus shows. However, the night comedy thing could fit very well if Agatha becomes aware that she's trapped in the role of a housewife. The story could follow her attempt to break free and regain her magic.
When will Agatha'due south WandaVision spinoff be released?
Showtime, Marvel and Disney Plus oasis't even confirmed whether a WandaVision spinoff is actually in development. And even if/when they do, shows are developed all the fourth dimension — and never get made. Projects get stuck in development hell or they're chucked entirely. Look at the many Game of Thrones spinoff projects — at least two were "in development," so ultimately discarded.
If Agatha's WandaVision spinoff goes forwards into production, it might exist awhile before it'due south released on Disney Plus. Marvel already has Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and She-Blob on the tentative schedule for 2022. After that, at some indicate, come Secret Invasion, Ironheart, and Armor Wars. Oh, and let's not forget Loki season two.
That's not to say Marvel and Disney Plus tin can't fit the WandaVision spinoff somewhere in their packed calendar. But we also have to consider Hahn'due south schedule — she is set to star in a limited series well-nigh Joan Rivers that's in development at Outset. (Again, "in development, and then accept that with a grain of salt).
Taking all of that into account, it seems extremely unlikely that an Agatha Harkness show could prove up on Disney Plus before 2023.
