Agatha All Along season 2 looking highly unlikely following new report

Agatha All Along hasn’t even premiered yet on Disney+, but it’s starting to look like the show could very well join a growing list of Marvel series not to return for a second season. 

In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter announcing the return of James Spader as Ultron in Marvel’s upcoming Vision series, The Hollywood Reporter described the series as being the “third part of a trilogy” at Marvel which apparently started with WandaVision, will continue next in Agatha All Along, and conclude with the untitled Vision series. 

While not stated directly, the indication that Agatha All Along is simply the next chapter in the three-part story Marvel began telling in WandaVision seems to hint that it is unlikely the show will get a second season. What seems more likely is that Agatha All Along will somehow pave the way for the Vision series in some manner and leave the door open for the characters to return in future projects, just not in a second season of the show. 

Of course, this is pure speculation based on the report from The Hollywood Reporter that Agatha All Along is the second part of the MCU trilogy; however, it seems like Agatha will follow in the footsteps of WandaVision in becoming a limited series with a contained storyline that leaves the door open just enough for more stories to be told in future projects rather than a show that will run for more than one season. 

Marvel has a growing problem with its Disney+ original shows 

Should Agatha All Along indeed become yet another one-season series, the show will continue a concerning trend of Marvel Studios original series turning into events series rather than franchises which continue for more than one season. 

Since it began rolling out MCU-set Marvel original series on Disney+ in 2021, Marvel Studios has only renewed one original live-action series with Loki being the only show to get a second season thus far. While we have seen characters from the films go on to appear in movies on the big screen or spinoffs as is the case with Agatha, the running trend seems to be for the Disney+ original series to be limited series despite not being billed as limited series upfront. 

While some shows haven’t needed another season and work well as limited series such as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier which helped pave the way for Captain America: Brave New Order and The Thunderbolts, others such as Moon Knight and She-Hulk, ended with a lot of unfinished business for their characters and left the doors wide open for the characters’ stories to continue in a second season rather than the characters making a jump right to the big screen for an already planned follow-up film. 

This lack of renewals is making it hard to envision futures for many of these shows and characters, as so many have been introduced into the MCU only to go nowhere thanks to the lack of follow-through from Marvel. 

Although we aren’t worried about Agatha All Along leading to nowhere given its apparently viewed as the second part of this trilogy that will continue in the Vision series, we have to admit we’ll be more than a little disappointed if the show does indeed end up being another one-season hit that fails to return for a second season.
