Summary
Marvel’sAgatha All Alongproved to be a popular show with Marvel Cinematic Universe audiences,gaining a favorable 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Following on from the events of WandaVision, audiences were able to follow Agatha Harkness as she recruited others to aid her quest in a series that brought plenty of magical darkness to the MCU. The show left most people wanting more, but all of the signs and the mutterings coming out of Marvel Studios have pointed toward that not being part of the plan.
Agatha All Alongseemed like it would be the latest in a series of Disney Plus shows created for the MCU that never developed beyond the first series, regardless of their popularity. However, fresh news has potentially providedAgatha All Alongwith a lifeline that will give fans of the show hope that a second season could end up happening.
Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum recently spoke toEntertainment WeeklyaboutAgatha All Alongand made it clear that they want to create more content. He said, “I think it’s ‘linear series potential.’ A show like Agatha, to me, is concept-based. Yes, a second season for sure issomething that we would want to do, but let’s not rush it. Let’s get the right idea and then make it.”
Even though Winderbaum’s comments do not officially confirm a second season ofAgatha All Along, they do provide a more positive outlook than has previously been revealed.Lead star Katheryn Hahn previously admittedshe’d “heard nothing” about a second season ofAgatha All Along,which was disappointing for most fans to hear. However, the Agatha star has also made it clear she’d be happy to jump back into the show, and given she is the lead actor, that is one major hurdle that Marvel Studios could quickly jump.Hahn gained a Golden Globe nomination for her role on the show, proving thatAgatha All Alongwas critically just as successful as it was with the fans.
The show ended in a manner that could technically be left alone as a one-season hit, and it would make sense in the grand scheme of the MCU and the world it inhabits. However, it was also clear that there was a lotmore to explore withinAgatha All Alongif Marvel Studios wanted to revisit it, with audiences connecting to all of the new characters introduced to the series and the storyline that Marvel pushed in the first season.
There’s no doubt that some of the characters from the show will appear again in the MCU down the line, as there was a lot of work put into introducing many of them. However, fans of the series want to see them come back in a second season ofAgatha All Alongto continue that specific story andfurther develop the Disney Plus seriesto enhance the quality of the show overall. This would also enhance the importance of the MCU television shows, giving audiences a reason to invest in them even more down the line.
