Agatha All Along is over, but the witch’s on-screen journey has just begun according to series creator Jac Schaeffer.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 1 of Agatha All Along.

If I had to name one big TV surprise that premiered in the second half of 2024, I would have to choose Agatha All Along. Sure, I’ve enjoyed my fair share of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ shows in the past, but we’ve been feeling down about all of this for a while, and this specific series seemed to come too late after WandaVision captivated most viewers. in early 2021.

With the entire season (it was planned to be a limited series) now behind us, it’s time to reflect and discuss what Agatha and [redacted]The on-screen future could be after the finale left a door wide open and perfectly closed this dual character arc in a satisfying way. For Marvel.com, series creator Jac Schaeffer had some answers… as well as a vague tease.

“What I love about episode 9 is that we get to his truth… This is a character who was presented as a walking lie. The show is in many ways a lie: it’s very theatrical and a lot of it is performative. and about the use of masks and costumes,” Schaeffer said of the ending, which was strange because it served as an epilogue for both Billy Maximoff and Agatha Harkness, giving both characters enough room to breathe and grow a little more after the main plot. had been wrapped.

In fact, the finale allowed Kathryn Hahn to do something completely different with the twisted witch as we learned more about her relationship with Death (Aubrey Plaza) and the death of her son, Nicholas Scratch. The writers also didn’t let Harkness get away with all the evil he had caused; He gets a (beautiful) deserved death, but that doesn’t mean his journey is over. His new ghostly form will remind many MCU fans, players, and comic book readers of his role in Midnight Suns, and that offers a lot of intriguing possibilities for the more fantastical, magic-oriented side of the universe.

“It wasn’t about killing off the character… It was about the evolution of this character,” the showrunner joked, later confirming that there was more to come, whether it be a surprise second season or a role elsewhere, especially now that she will join Billy (aka Wiccan) in his search for his lost twin, Tommy. “I still feel like there’s more path to explore with Agatha as a ghost… Get ready.” We hope she can also mentor and guide the Midnight Sons whenever they reunite in the MCU.
