Fans of Agatha All Along are in for a disappointing update, according to Patti LuPone.Ever since the witchy Kathryn Hahn-led Marvel series grabbed gays by the throat last fall, weve all been waiting with bated breath to find out if theres any chance for a season two.But LuPone, who played Lilia, recently dished on why thats unlikely to happen.Speaking with Andy Cohen during an episode of his Sirius XM podcast, she explained that she once had high hopes for a season two herself. Creator Jac Schaeffer dashed those hopes when she gave LuPone a heads up that her character, Lilia, wasnt going to make it off the Witches Road alive. But even if she had, a continuation of Agatha All Along didnt seem to be on the table."[Schaffer] said, 'I dont do second seasons,"" LuPone recalled. She said, 'They wanted me to do a second season of WandaVision and I didnt.' She said, 'Theres too much to write,' so she does one-offs."Now, obviously this isnt a definitive answer. Schaeffer may have changed her mind after the fan response to the beloved series, or Marvel and Disney could decide to carry on without her. But it certainly isnt giving way to optimism, especially considering Schaeffers own public remarks about continuing the show have been notably vague."With this show, we wanted to tell a complete story, and I hope that we did," she told Decider back in October. "But a fan and as an admirer, I believe that there is so much more story to tell about all of these characters."At the time, fans hoped that meant she saw a future for season two. But knowing that Marvel loves tossing characters between various parts of its cinematic and TV universe and that weve already heard Agatha herself will be returning to the MCU in general, Schaeffers statement feels less meaningful.Its undoubtedly a disappointing update to fans of the series, many of whom seemed to come to Agatha All Along for this specific combination of characters and story rather than an interest in the broader MCU. And considering one of the praises for Agatha was that it felt like a return to episodic storytelling within the confines of streaming, which often tops out at 8-10 episodes per season, hearing that Schaeffer may not be interested in that feels like an added blow to TV fans. (@) But without any official announcement, theres always going to be some kernel of hope to cling to all the same.
