Agatha All Along Mini-Teaser: Agatha Has a Serious Identity Crisis
Someone suffers from a SERIOUS identity crisis in a new mini-teaser for Showrunner Jac Schaeffer's Kathryn Hahn-starring Agatha All Along.
In one month, Showrunner Jac Schaeffer's Kathryn Hahn-starring Agatha All Along will find Agatha Harkness (Hahn) down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen (Joe Locke) helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they're missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven and set off down, down, down… The Road. To help get viewers ready for once to come – and to mark the fact that we're only one month away from the streaming series hitting Disney+ screens – Marvel shared a mini-teaser not only highlighting Agatha's dilemma and means of escape, but also the various "Agathas" that we've seen so far:
Here's a look at the one-month teaser that was released earlier today – followed by a look back at what else we know about the upcoming "WandaVision" spinoff series:
With a two-episode premiere set to hit Disney+ on September 18th, here's a look at Hahn, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Aubrey Plaza, and Debra Jo Rupp performing the original song "The Ballad of The Witches' Road" – live and in-person – during Disney's D23 fan expo
In a previous interview with Empire, Schaeffer offered some insights into the "disparate, mixed bag of witches" that viewers can expect – including Patti LuPone's Lilia, Sasheer Zamata's Jennifer, Debra Jo Rupp's Sharon, and Ali Ahn's Alice. "What they have in common is that they're covenless witches. Witches are defined by deception, treachery, villainy, and selfishness. What do you do when you have a group of witches who [demonstrate] those notions, and you need them to work together?" A whole bunch of chaos magic, you'd expect," Schaeffer shared.
In terms of the music that viewers can expect from "Agatha All Along" songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Schaeffer notes that a number of aspects of witch lore will be targeted. "[Where] 'WandaVision' played with the form of classic TV sitcoms, [here] we do a lot of playing with what the assumptions about witches are. Like, what are the shorthand visuals for witches?" And what about our lead witch? Should we expect her wicked ways to get even more wicked? It looks like we're going to get a chance to see some other side of Agatha. "We certainly didn't want a one-dimensional nasty witch. We will have moments where we see Agatha's true heart," the series creator added.
In addition to Hahn, Agatha All Along stars Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili – with Debra Jo Rupp, Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos, and Jac Schaeffer – with Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg, and Gandja Montiero directing.
