Rumors Resurface About Selena Gomez’s Appearance in ‘Agatha All Along’—Here’s What We Know

‘Agatha All Along’ is set to debut this week with its first two episodes, and early social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, indicating the show is tailored for a specific fanbase.

The cast features Kathryn Hahn returning as Agatha Harkness, 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 have roles yet to be confirmed. Debra Jo Rupp will reprise her role as Sharon Davis, with Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu and Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal/Green Witch.

Amid the buzz surrounding the show’s stellar cast, rumors have been circulating online that Selena Gomez, one of today’s biggest stars, will be making an appearance. While neither Gomez nor Marvel has confirmed this, the speculation has been spreading since early 2023.

It all began in January 2023 when a conversation surfaced on X (formerly Twitter):

The speculation gains traction when you consider that teasers and marketing materials for the show confirm it will explore some of the most iconic witches and historical eras.

But why is Selena Gomez linked to witchcraft? The connection stems from her role in Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, where she portrayed Alex Russo, a teenage wizard from a family of magic users competing to become the sole family wizard. The series, which follows Alex’s magical misadventures and her efforts to balance magic with everyday life, was a major breakthrough for Gomez, turning her into a household name. Running for four seasons and even spawning a TV movie, Wizards of Waverly Place remains one of Disney Channel’s most beloved shows.

There are also rumors of a sequel series set to premiere later this year, with Gomez returning for a guest role, further fueling her association with the magical world. Given her Disney roots and her connection to magic, it’s easy to see why fans might jump to conclusions about her appearance in Agatha All Along.

The latest hint came from Gomez herself, when she commented a fire emoji on an Instagram post featuring Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal on a poster for the upcoming show, adding fuel to the rumors.

Is it a bit far-fetched? Maybe, but Disney loves surprises, so a cameo isn’t out of the question. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
