• Dune: Prophecy creators promise to bring the "complexity" and "grand scale" of Frank Herbert's books and Denis Villeneuve's movies to TV

Agatha Harkness isn’t the type of woman to shy away from the spotlight, so it only makes sense that, weeks before the debut of her own Disney+ series Agatha All Along, the MCU’s resident witch is stealing the show with one final trailer showcasing the spooky, ooky treats Marvel fans can expect.

The final trailer for Agatha All Along was part of Marvel Studios’ presentation at D23 Expo 2024, which also saw the House of Ideas debut new footage from Daredevil: Born Again - but only for those lucky enough to be in the room.

The nine-episode miniseries created by WandaVision’s Jac Schaeffer — who also writes and directs the first episode — stars Kathryn Hahn, returning as the title character, alongside MCU newcomers Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, and Aubrey Plaza. (Yes, we know Plaza was in FX’s Legion, but that wasn’t an MCU project.) Although much of the story remains under wraps, as is traditional for a Marvel Studios project, it’s known that Harkness will help a teenager who wants to face the trials of the Witches’ Road. There’s only one problem… Agatha isn’t really the witch that she used to be, after the events of WandaVision.

Hahn isn’t the only WandaVision cast member returning for this new series: Debra Jo Rupp, Emma Caulfield Ford, and Kate Forbes are also slated to appear, with the latter reprising her role as Agatha’s mother, Evanora.

The series debuts September 18.
