Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Agatha Harkness from WandaVision, with Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Debra Jo Rupp, and Miles Gutierrez-Riley also starring. Development of the series had begun by October 2021, with Schaeffer and Hahn attached, and it was formally announced the next month. Schaeffer, Gandja Monteiro, and Rachel Goldberg were set as directors in early 2023 ahead of filming. A number of additional actors from WandaVision reprise their roles in Agatha, as do many of the production team, including many of the writers and the music team. Filming took place from mid-January to late May 2023 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional filming in Los Angeles. The series was officially titled Agatha by March 2024, but was previously subtitled with House of Harkness, Coven of Chaos, and Darkhold Diaries at different times.
Agatha is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in late 2024, and will consist of nine episodes. It will be part of Phase Five of the MCU.
