The new spin-off series Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, based on WandaVision, has given fans a sneak peek at its upcoming episodes, keeping the memory of the unique Marvel mini-series fresh in fans' minds even three years after its release.
Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series centers on Wanda Maximoff and her grief over the loss of Vision at the hands of Thanos, resulting in her taking a small town hostage. WandaVision achieved significant cultural success, leading to a spin-off series featuring the show’s secondary character, Agatha Harkness. Fans have recently been treated to a first look at Agatha’s new series through a newly released video.
Agatha’s new series sees her gathering a powerful coven
Thanks to one eagle-eyed Twitter user, a new special featurette was posted which came from the official Blu-ray release for WandaVision.
The one-minute video featured interviews with the team behind Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, including creator and showrunner Jac Schaeffer and lead actress Kathryn Hahn.
Viewers got a sneak peek at the upcoming series, with a look at Agatha’s new Westview appearance, as well as the first glimpses of new characters like Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu, a member of Agatha’s coven. Additionally, new set pieces were revealed, hinting that Agatha might be escaping Wanda’s prison in New Jersey.
The last time fans saw Agatha, she was under a spell by Wanda, making her believe she was a human neighbor in Westview. However, as seen during WandaVision, it was clear that Agatha's power could not remain dormant forever.
Official series synopsis: "After escaping her containment in Westview, New Jersey, Agatha Harkness is left without her powers. Seeking help from unexpected allies, she embarks on a journey to reclaim her former abilities."

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is a highly anticipated upcoming series that promises to be a thrilling addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As an enthusiastic fan, I am eagerly awaiting the release of this spin-off series, which will explore the character of Agatha Harkness in greater depth. The sneak peek into the upcoming episodes has only served to heighten my excitement, and I can't wait to see what's in store for Agatha as she embarks on a journey to reclaim her former abilities.
The return of Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness is one of the most exciting aspects of this series. Hahn's portrayal of Agatha in WandaVision was captivating and nuanced, and I am eager to see her bring the character to life once again. The addition of new characters, such as Patti LuPone's Lilia Calderu, also adds to the intrigue and suggests that Agatha will be facing some formidable challenges in her quest for power. The hint that Agatha may be escaping Wanda's prison in New Jersey is also an exciting development, as it suggests that the series will explore the aftermath of WandaVision and the impact it had on Agatha.
