Marvel Studios will soon be adding a new show to its ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe as audiences prime themselves for the return of Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness in Agatha All Along.
Release Date and Timing
The highly anticipated series Agatha All Along is set to premiere on September 18, 2024. This new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, showcasing the character Agatha Harkness, will release its first two episodes at 6 p.m. Pacific Time (PT), giving East Coast viewers a primetime slot of 9 p.m.–a strategy shift that began with the release of last year’s Lucasfilm series, Star Wars: Ahsoka.
Following this initial release, new episodes will be available weekly, concluding on November 6, 2024. Fans of WandaVision will be keen to see how the storyline progresses, especially considering Agatha’s character was central to the original series.
How to Watch
Agatha All Along will be available exclusively on Disney+. The series is set to air in various regions at synchronized times; in the Eastern Time Zone (ET), it will debut at 9 p.m. and British Summer Time (BST) at 2 a.m. the following day. Viewers do not need any additional subscriptions to access this new series if they already hold a Disney+ account.
Disney+ New Perks and Discounts
Ahead of the Agatha All Along premiere, Disney+ is launching a promotional strategy designed to attract new subscribers. For the first three months, new and returning users can enjoy the ad-supported tier for just $1.99 per month, a significant discount compared to the regular rate.
In addition, subscribers may benefit from exclusive perks. Bundled offers with Hulu and ESPN+ are also available, making Disney+’s offerings more attractive to potential viewers as the series approaches its debut.
Agatha All Along Cast and Characters
Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Agatha Harkness, a character who quickly became a fan favorite in WandaVision. Joining her is Joe Locke, who seemingly plays Billy Kaplan/Wiccan, a character name confirmed through subtitles in the series’ promotional trailer and who, until the subtitle blunder, was simply known as “Teen.”
Other notable cast members include Aubrey Plaza and Patti LuPone, both of whom contribute to what is expected to be a rich narrative involving magic and adventure in the MCU. They play warrior witch Rio Vadal and 450-year-old Sicilian witch Lilia Calderu, respectively. Fans can watch the pair take on Hot Ones—with LuPone continuing her historic shading of music icon Madonna—in the video below.

The Agatha All Along series aims to expand on the themes introduced in WandaVision, bringing back familiar faces–word is still out on whether Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch will return (they are traversing the Witches’ Road, after all)–as well as introducing new characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Given the show’s premise, its musical nature, and its relatable lead, it is likely to attract new and old viewers to Disney+.

Overall, Agatha All Along promises to deliver both the humor and drama that characterized its predecessor. It stands as another significant chapter in the Marvel storytelling universe. The story of the “WandaVision Corner” will continue in Vision. With Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) now attached as showrunner, Marvel has officially picked the series back up.
