Marvel’s ‘Agatha All Along’ unveils new trailer and live performance at D23 Expo
A magical return to the Marvel universe
The Marvel series “Agatha All Along” has generated significant buzz with the release of its second trailer at the D23 Expo. Fans were treated to a special live performance of the show’s original song, “The Witches’ Road,” adding to the excitement surrounding this highly anticipated sequel to “WandaVision.”
A star-studded performance
Kathryn Hahn, reprising her role as the enchanting and mischievous sorceress Agatha Harkness, took center stage at the Honda Center in Anaheim. She was joined by her co-stars Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, and Debra Jo Rupp. Together, they delivered a captivating rendition of “The Witches’ Road,” a ballad penned by the Emmy- and Oscar-winning duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. The song’s title alludes to a mystical path that promises to restore a witch’s lost powers if they can survive its trials.
Revisiting Westview
In “WandaVision,” Hahn’s character was initially introduced as Agnes, the nosy neighbor in the seemingly idyllic town of Westview. However, it was later revealed that Agnes was, in fact, Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch who had lived for centuries. The series culminated in an epic showdown between Agatha and Wanda Maximoff, resulting in Wanda stripping Agatha of her powers and trapping her in Westview under her false persona.
The plot thickens
“Agatha All Along” picks up where “WandaVision” left off. The new series follows Locke’s character, known only as Teen, who manages to break Agatha out of Wanda’s spell. Determined to reclaim her magical abilities, Agatha assembles a coven to traverse the treacherous Witches’ Road. This journey promises to be filled with trials and tribulations, testing the limits of their powers and resolve.

Jac Schaeffer, the head writer of “WandaVision,” returns as the executive producer and showrunner for “Agatha All Along.” The series is set to premiere its first two episodes on Disney+ on September 18.
