The real star of the excellent Marvel series WandaVision (2021) was her. Finally, according to her… Agnes, Wanda Maximoff’s intrusive neighbor, was actually another witch, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). A villain more grotesque than frightening who revealed her identity by singing a song that became viral, Agatha All Along. No sooner said than done, Disney+ converted the musical success into a new series. Agatha, freed from the fictional world created by her worst enemy, sets out to search for her lost powers along the legendary “witches’ road.” She surrounds herself with a sabbat of witches who are also marginalized, anti-heroines who are half-losers, half-furious.
