Agatha All Along has been hyped by MCU fans since the spinoff was announced post WandaVision. The character Agatha Harkness is played by Kathryn Hahn, renowned for her appearances in shows such as Parks and Recreation and Transparent.
Agatha is described as devious, crafty, and powerful, as depicted in WandaVision. Not only did she manage to embody a whole other character, but she also outsmarted the ultimate witch of manipulation: Scarlet Witch.

Agatha All Along is slated to air later this week on September 19, 2024. The series will be available to binge on Disney Plus and will launch internationally for all to enjoy. Before Agatha All Along releases, here are a few facts you may want to know before gearing up for a binge session.
10 interesting facts about Agatha Harkness and more before watching the show
1) Agatha's Identity
As the series name suggests, the witch’s real name is Agatha Harkness. She was first introduced in WandaVision as ‘Agnes.’ Agnes was usually all up in Wanda’s business in Westview – an illusionary neighborhood. Although she appears chatty, Agatha usually speaks when spoken to and enjoys passing sarcastic remarks.
In the MCU comics, Harkness was a resourceful witch who lived in Salem, Massachusetts. After narrowly escaping the infamous trials, her powers evolved into something much darker and more unfathomable.
2) Agatha's powers as a witch
Agatha isn’t your usual green-faced, flies-on-a-broom, stereotypical witch. She's got the most potent magical abilities in the MCU.
While she’s no Doctor Strange, Agatha has knowledge of ancient spells, castings, and can even create runes!
Furthermore, she can concoct wicked manipulation spells – a major advantage during battle. Her powers are often accompanied by a purple aura, a sign of her magic.
3) Agatha Harkness' rivalry with Scarlet Witch
Agatha’s rivalry with Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, is a significant element in WandaVision. In the series, Agatha seeks to understand and exploit Wanda’s Chaos Magic for her own gain. Their power struggle showcases Agatha’s cunning and mastery of magic, as well as Wanda’s own burgeoning abilities.
4) Chaos Magic
Chaos Magic has been a prominent part of the MCU, beginning with Doctor Strange’s storyline. This rare and powerful magic allows its users to bend the rules of space-time.
It can alter a person’s reality and even break the present reality or end life itself if not wielded properly. Due to its unstable nature, only someone special and highly skilled can acquire and master it.
5) The Hex
The Hex is a direct result of Chaos Magic – an energy field that alters the reality of a specific place and the people within it. Depending on the user, this Hex can appear in different colors.
In WandaVision, Wanda’s Hex is red, matching her magical aura. The Hex can also be triggered by overwhelming emotions, as was the case with Wanda’s grief. This is what drew Agatha to Westview and to Wanda, like a moth to a flame.
6) Agatha's mission in Agatha All Along
In Agatha All Along, Agatha’s primary goal is to race to the Witches' Road to regain her stolen powers. She is joined by several enigmatic wizards and sorcerers, including the teen who saved her life from Wanda’s spell.
This journey is fraught with danger and new threats, but her ultimate mission is to become the greatest witch that ever lived.
7) The Witches' Road
The Witches' Road is a perilous pathway designed by ancient wizards and witches. It’s a key part of the plot in Agatha All Along.
Any witch, coven, or wizard who successfully navigates its challenges is rewarded with whatever they most desire – usually a significant power upgrade. Agatha embarks on this dangerous journey with her coven in pursuit of her lost powers.
8) Agatha Harkness's coven
Agatha forms a coven in Agatha All Along to help her regain her powers from the Witches' Road. Her coven includes the mysterious Teen (rumored to be Wanda’s son), as well as Rio Vidal and Jennifer Kale – both powerful witches like Agatha.
Together, they face the challenges of the Witches' Road in their quest to restore Agatha’s magic.
9) The mysterious Teen in Agatha All Along
Viewers and MCU fans have been abuzz about the name of Joe Locke’s mysterious character by the name ‘Teen’ in Agatha All Along. Several conspiracies suggest that perhaps he’s playing Wanda Maximoff’s son.
It oddly wouldn’t be surprising since like his mother, the enigmatic Teen also has noteworthy abilities in the MCU. Moreover, he’s the one who broke the hex Agatha was under. Locke himself is being tight-lipped about the character; all will be made clear in Agatha All Along.
10) Which phase of the MCU is Agatha All Along in?
Agatha All Along is part of Phase Five of the MCU and is one of the many projects being released by the studio. The series is the aftermath of the events from the movie, Avengers: Endgame when Tony Stark restored balance in the universe. The series is part of a trilogy beginning with WandaVision and is reportedly set to conclude with Vision Quest which is slated for a 2026 release.
Agatha All Along can be binged on Disney Plus!
