As award season quickly approaches, Disney+’s Agatha All Along has submitted into comedy categories hinting the series may not be over.
Magical Possibilities:
- Variety exclusively reports that the hit Marvel series Agatha All Along has been submitted into comedy categories for the upcoming award show season.
- While the Disney+ show was conceived as a limited series like WandaVision, the move hints at the possibility of a second season.
- Submissions include the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and next year’s Emmys.
- The decision puts Agatha All Along in a competitive race against the likes of FX’s The Bear, ABC’s Abbott Elementary and HBO/Max’s Hacks.
- This also means that Kathryn Hahn will be up against Jean Smart, Quinta Brunson, and Ayo Edebiri who have all taken home awards for their respective roles over the past three years.
- Hahn’s incredible performance as Agatha Harkness could see the actress earn her first Golden Globe nomination and her fourth Emmy nomination.
- The Television Academy defines the criteria for a limited series, stating “The program must tell a complete, non-recurring story and not have an ongoing storyline or main characters in subsequent seasons.”
- It is possible the series chose to enter into the comedy categories in fear of being rejected on that criteria, however, Hawkeye, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Mandalorian were all permitted to compete as miniseries.
- No official word from Marvel or Disney has been made regarding the possibility of Agatha All Along Season 2. In the same breath, the studios would have to prove to the TV Academy that more seasons are planned to be eligible outside of the Limited Series categories.
- Earlier this year, Shōgun also submitted outside of the Limited Series categories and set the all-time winning record for a drama series at the Emmys.
- Agatha All Along picks up after WandaVision. When a mysterious character called Teen breaks Agatha out of a spell, the pair will assemble a coven and head down the notorious Witches’ Road. The series stars Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Debra Jo Rupp, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Okwui Okpokwasili, and Patti LuPone.
- All 9 episodes of Agatha All Along are available to stream now on Disney+.
