During Disney+ Day on Friday, the company confirmed that an upcoming WandaVision spinoff series titled Agatha: House of Harkness is in the works. The brief announcement said that Kathryn Hahn will reprise her role as Agatha Harkness and WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer will return as a screenwriter and executive producer on the series, marking his first project since signing an overall deal with Marvel Studios ad 20th Television. Rumors of a WandaVision spinoff series first surfaced in October, when Variety reported that the project was in the works, citing exclusive information from sources. The outlet said that the then-alleged spinoff was “described by sources as a dark comedy.” Disney did not disclose any further details, and it is currently unknown when the Marvel Cinematic Universe series will premiere. At this time, Disney has said the show is “coming soon.”
Who’s been hyping up everything? It’s been Disney+ all along… As Disney+ Day continues, we’re getting information about brand new series popping up left, right and centre including a trio of Marvel spin-off series. After being reported about earlier this year, Marvel Studios has confirmed that Kathryn Hahn’s scene-stealing Agatha Harkness (introduced in WandaVision) will indeed be back in her own show and it’ll be called Agatha: House Of Harkness. Cue the spooky music. She’s not the only one getting her own show. Alaqua Cox’s Echo, soon to be introduced in the imminent Hawkeye series, has had her spin-off confirmed too. Also known as Maya Lopez, Echo is a deaf, Native American superhero with impressive acrobatic martial arts skills. And it’s not just the live-action shows getting spin-offs. If you caught What If…? earlier this year, you’ll have seen Marvel Studios bringing zombified versions of its characters to the screen in a pretty gnarly episode, based on the fan-favourite Marvel Zombies comics. Well, zombie-fever is clearly spreading, because an anime Marvel Zombies show is now coming alive and looking for brains. All that, plus we have the previously-announced Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, and Secret Invasion series, the second season of What If…?, the animated I Am Groot, plus the very exciting X-Men ’97, and Spider-Man: Freshman Year. Clear your viewing schedules, people.
