In a literal gift for the cast and crew of “Agatha All Along,” Walt Disney Television and Marvel Studios have decided to reclassify the hit Disney+ program in the Comedy Series category for awards purposes.

When MCU fans last saw Kathryn Hahn‘s Agatha Harkness in the 2021 Disney+ show “WandaVision,” the jig was up.  Wanda Maximoff had figured out her next-door neighbor Agnes was really Agatha, and used magic to keep Agatha trapped in Westview in her Agnes persona with the help of magic runes.

Marvel Studios continues to pump out a multitude of content for Disney+ as the streaming service has thrived thanks partly to the superhero originals alongside the “Star Wars” shows from Lucasfilm.

Paul Bettany is now expected to reprise the role of Vision one more time as Deadline has revealed that Marvel Studios is developing a “WandaVision” spinoff series titled “Vision Quest” from Jac Schaeffer, the head writer of “WandaVision” and Kathryn Hahn’s “Agatha: Coven of Chaos.”
