First Reactions to MCU’s Agatha All Along Are In: Mostly Positive Reviews with a Notable Issue Identified

Agatha All Along premieres this week with its first few episodes, offering a magical new addition to the MCU that delves deeper into the spellcasting elements of the cinematic universe. The series follows Agatha Harkness as she escapes from her prison and returns to the real world, only to find herself powerless. To regain her strength, she must ally with a makeshift coven and embark on the witches’ road.

The show features an intriguing premise and a stellar cast. Kathryn Hahn returns as Agatha Harkness, with Joe Locke as Billy Kaplan and Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale. Ali Ahn will portray Alice Wu-Gulliver, while Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili are cast in roles yet to be confirmed. Debra Jo Rupp will appear as Sharon Davis, Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu, and Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal/Green Witch.
