Marvel Studios’ upcoming “WandaVision” spinoff series has a new name. When first announced, the Disney+ show was originally titled “Agatha: House of Harkness.” It was later renamed “Agatha: Coven of Chaos” in July 2022. And now, we have yet another name (and logo)- “Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.”
The first episode is described as “Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) finally break[s] out of a spell she has been trapped in. She can’t wait to go back to her old murderous ways only to find that she is powerless. The only way forward for her is to embark on a perilous quest to get her powers back with the help of an unlikely friend or two.”
“Agatha: Darkhold Diaries,” is directed by “WandaVision” creator and head writer Jac Schaeffer. The series will also star Aubrey Plaza as Rio, multi Tony Award winner Patti LuPone as Lilia, Sasheer Zamata (“Saturday Night Live“) as Jen K, and Ali Ahn as Alice. Along with Joe Locke, Emma Caulfield Ford, Maria Dizzia, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili.
“It’s a coven of witches, and I play Lilia Calderu, who apparently is in the Marvel world. I researched her, she’s hot, she’s really hot, she’s got a great body and hair,” LuPone said about her role. “I didn’t know there were witches, I didn’t know anything about the Marvel world. There are witches in the Marvel world. So, we are a coven of witches and the witches are: Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza, and [a] Familiar — if anybody knows Heartstopper — is Joe Locke.”
“Agatha: Darkhold Diaries,” is set to cause more chaos sometime in the Fall of 2024. We’ll keep you posted on updates as they become available. “WandaVision” is currently streaming on Disney+.
