Summary
Agatha All Alongrecently wrapped up its season, bringingWandaVision’sfirst spin-off series to a close. However, recent actions indicate the book may not be closed completely on Agatha Harkness' adventures.
Agatha All Alongsaw Kathryn Hahn return to the role of the notorious witch, Agatha, a Marvel Comics character who exploded in popularity after her live-action debut inWandaVision. The series served as an indirect sequel toWandaVision, picking up with Agatha after the events of the finale which left the character trapped under Wanda’s spell.WhileAgatha All Alongprimarily focused on Agatha’sstory, it also picked up on some loose plot threads fromWandaVisionandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessby re-introducing Billy Maximoff as Joe Locke’s teenage character.Agatha All Alongwas received positively by critics and fans and has led to Marvel Studios’ preparing to campaign for the series come awards season.
Agatha All Along Awards Submissions Hint At Season 2
Varietyreports that Marvel Television Studios has submittedAgatha All Alongin the Best Comedy Series categories for the 2025 awards races, which will include the Golden Globes, Emmys, and SAG awards.Agatha All Alongwas originally conceived as a miniseries, but it seems will not be submitted in the Limited or Anthology categories. The Television Academy’s rules for limited series submissions denote that the program must tell a “complete, non-recurring story” and not have any ongoing storylines or main characters in subsequent seasons. Marvel’s choice to submitAgatha All Alongin the comedy category instead of as a limited series seems to suggest that the studio may have plans to either renew the TV show for another season orcontinue its story in some way.
Marvel’s Awards Submission May Be Strategic
This submission may also be a strategic move as the limited series categories at the major awards shows are typically full of heavy hitters, which may make it difficult forAgatha All Alongto stand out, particularly as the 2025 season will likely includeshows likeThe Penguin, True Detective: Night Country,andBaby Reindeer. That being said, the Best Comedy Series categories will be no slouch either, with the Marvel series likely to contend with new seasons ofThe BearandHacks.
MCU projects have gained many nominationsand some wins at the major awards shows in the past, but typically the series have been submitted in the limited or miniseries categories due to their complete nature.WandaVisionandMoon Knightwere both submitted in the Limited or Anthology series categories, whileLokiwas able to submit as a drama thanks to its two seasons. Marvel is yet to announce a renewal forAgatha All Along, but the end of the first season did seem to indicate that some of the major characters could return, either in a second season or a follow-up of some kind. The upcomingVision Questseries is expected to be another sequel to the story ofWandaVision, so perhaps Marvel Studio will find some way to make this a sequel toAgatha All Alongas well, so that both series may qualify for awards.
