Agatha All Along fans who have continued clinging to hope that a season two still may be in the cards might have been onto something after all.Morale was low after Patti LuPone, who starred in the first season of the wickedly queer Marvel/Disney+ show, revealed last month that she didnt think there would be a return to the Witches Road."[Jac Schaeffer] said, 'I dont do second seasons,'" LuPone recalled the creator saying during production. "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."The Broadway legends words alone werent enough to hammer nails into Agatha Harknesss coffin just yet. But the number of canonical MCU shows that currently have more than a single season on Disney+ stands at just one Loki leaving fans already concerned theyre in for an uphill battle.But now, a new hope has arisen.Head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel, Brad Winterbaum, recently told Entertainment Weekly that the possibility of more Agatha All Along is absolutely still on the table."I think its 'linear series potential,'" he said. "A show like Agatha, to me, is concept based. Yes, a second season for sure is something that we would want to do, but lets not rush it. Lets get the right idea and then make it." (@) Potentially waiting years between seasons is not, historically, what has made television flourish. But it is certainly turning into something to which modern streaming audiences are being forced to acclimate. And anything MCU admittedly has a leg up on other series that follow this frustrating path, since they continuously release various movies and series that have occasional overlap in characters, keeping the memories of them fresh in fans minds assuming said fans subscribe to the MCU as a whole, anyway.At any rate, there was already a fair amount of confidence that Kathryn Hahn would reprise her role as Agatha somewhere within the MCU. However, AAA fans more often appear to be itching for the vibe and focus of her particular series rather than just the character itself. And they definitely want more of Agathas love/hate relationship with Rio (Aubrey Plaza), something that seems less likely to be satisfactorily explored elsewhere in the MCU, considering how often queer romance is left on the cutting room floor in Marvel movies. (@) So well keep waiting for the glorious return of Agatha Harkness in her titular series and at least now we have renewed confirmation that the wait may not be in vain.
