They’re not just going to walk down the deadly Witch’s Road. They’re going to sing about it. The full trailer—following last month’s odd teaser—for Marvel’s Agatha All Along offers not just a better sense of what the Kathryn Hahn-starring WandaVision spinoff is about, but a better vibe and a new jam. “The Ballad of the Witches Road” is by Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who wrote “Let It Go.” So, yes: It’s going to be in your head for a minute.
The synopsis for Agatha says:
The infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…
As Vanessa Armstrong noted, there is something very suspicious about this goth Teen—played by Heartstopper’s Joe Locke—being referred to only as “Teen.” According to showrunner Jac Schaeffer, “It’s his idea to travel the Witches’ Road to get her power back. But in order to go on the Road, you’ve got to get a coven together. So how does a witch that no one’s going to trust get a band of sisters together?”
Said band of sisters includes Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, and Ali Ahn; Debra Jo Rupp and Emma Caulfield Ford are also here, returning from their turns in WandaVision.
Agatha All Along has a two-episode premiere September 18th on Disney+. As the lady says, last one there is a nice person.
