"Heartstopper"'s Joe Locke Joins "WandaVision" Spinoff, "Agatha: Coven of Chaos"

Looks like we haven't seen the last of Agatha Harkness [1] after all. The finale of "WandaVision" [2] left the door open for the evil witch to make a comeback, and Disney+ is making that happen. According to TV Line [3], in November 2021, Disney+ confirmed that it's given the green light to the spinoff series, officially titled "Agatha: Coven of Chaos." This news came a month after Variety [4] reported that Disney+ had begun developments for the Agatha-centric show centered on the "WandaVision [5]" villain portrayed by Kathryn Hahn.

Most of the final episode of "WandaVision" [6] is dedicated to a showdown between Wanda and her nemesis. Though Agatha is defeated in the end, she's still alive and lurking about as a potential mentor for Wanda to lean on since she understands her magic. Since that role could be left to Doctor Strange in the onscreen universe [7], we're left to wonder what the new spinoff could possibly be about!

Here's what we know about the show so far.

"Agatha: Coven of Chaos" Plot

Aside from the fact that the show will focus on Agatha, plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but we do know "WandaVision [8]" head writer Jac Schaeffer will once again tackle this new project in her respective role.

"Agatha: Coven of Chaos" Cast

Hahn will return as Agatha, and on 1 Nov., Variety [9] reported that "Heartstopper" actor Joe Locke has joined the cast. Emma Caulfield Ford will also reprise the role of Dottie.

"Agatha: Coven of Chaos" Release Date

"Agatha: Coven of Chaos" is set for a winter 2023 release, Marvel President Kevin Feige revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
