Disney+ is preparing a spin-off series of ‘WandaVision’ that will focus on Agatha, the character played by Kathryn Hahn. The magazine ‘Variety’ assured this Thursday that Hahn will once again get into Agatha’s skin in a series about which not much is known beyond the fact that it will be “a black comedy”.
Jac Schaeffer, the screenwriter at the head of ‘WandaVision’, will be in charge of writing and producing this new project.
Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, ‘WandaVision’ became a huge phenomenon within the audiovisual adaptations of Marvel for its unusual union of the world of superheroes with some of the most famous comedies on American television. ‘I Love Lucy’, ‘Bewitched’ or ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ were some of the meta-television references used by ‘WandaVision’, which was also the first Marvel series to land on Disney+.

Far from the overwhelming adventures of the Avengers in the cinema, this series began with Wanda (Olsen) and Vision (Bettany) as the idyllic couple from a ’50s sitcom: house with a garden in the suburbs, naive humor, gossipy neighbors, naive romance and action in black and white.

But the daring journey of ‘WandaVision’ went further, since each chapter touched on a different era of the ‘sitcoms’, with Olsen and Bettany modifying their voices and gestures in each chapter, due to a mystery that disrupted time.
‘WandaVision’ was nominated for 23 Emmys, including Outstanding Limited Series (Miniseries) and Outstanding Actress (Olsen) and Actor (Bettany) in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or TV Movie. She finally won three statuettes: best original music and lyrics for the song ‘Agatha All Along’, best fantasy or science fiction costume and best production design for a half-hour narrative program.
