Last week’s two-part season finale of Agatha All Along answered some of our questions about its surviving characters—nonetheless it also ended with the starting of a entire unusual budge for Billy (Joe Locke) and Agatha (Kathryn Hahn). May there be extra tales coming from beyond the Witches’ Road for Marvel’s spellbinding frenemies? A clue may lie within the earliest stages of the demonstrate’s awards-season push.
Variety picked up on this idea first: Disney is positioning Agatha All Along as a comedy sequence in its submissions to the Golden Globes, Emmy Awards, SAG Awards, and extra. While the demonstrate didn’t always match that category (as hinted above… there was a lot of death happening!), its status as a humorous book adaptation fashion of automatically pushes it in that direction.
Nonetheless it absolutely’s now not the silly classification that’s hinting at extra Agatha All Along seasons: it’s the fact that you’d examine a single-season demonstrate—which Agatha has lengthy been assumed to be—would post within the “miniseries” or “restricted sequence” category instead. Agatha‘s predecessor, WandaVision, racked up 23 Emmy nominations, mostly under the banner of “Restricted or Anthology Sequence or Movie” (it ended up profitable three, including for the outrageously catchy “Agatha All Along” song). “Comedy” implies, effectively, a 2d season could effectively be within the tarot cards.
As Variety additional facets out, hanging Agatha All Along within the comedy category means it will maybe perambulate up against some formidable competition, including earlier winners The Bear, Hacks, and Abbott Elementary. The trade also affords additional perception and context with regards to the Emmys specifically: “Although the demonstrate was conceived as a miniseries, the announcement regarding its category shifts strongly indicates that Agatha All Along … could proceed beyond a single season … There has been no official note from Disney or Marvel regarding a renewal. Silent, the studio would have to indicate to the TV Academy that extra seasons are planned or make an official announcement, similar to what FX did with Shogun last year, ultimately atmosphere the all-time profitable file for a drama sequence.”
The guidelines for what qualifies as a restricted sequence and what doesn’t seem rather advanced (Variety digs deeper while you’re attracted to extra details), nonetheless the main takeaway within the case of Agatha All Along appears to be that the demonstrate could, maybe, perhaps return. There are certainly some free ends waiting to be pursued in that case—love, the place the hell is Tommy?
