    First they suggest it'll be in time for the Halloween season; then they say that the two-episode premier is September 18th.

    Aubrey Plaza is welcome to play as many characters in a Marvel TV show as she wishes.

    Quite digging the more horror-focused elements they are showing here. Much more overt than some other efforts (though, to be fair, WBN was specifically stylized in a way that makes it harder to compare).

    ...which is the fall/Halloween season? It's 9 episodes long, so it'll be running through, and past, Halloween. Plus it gets a week or two distance from Beetlejuice 2 as well possibly just ahead of Wednesday Season 2.

    There is no such thing as Halloween season. There is Christmas in July, and then in September stores start putting out their decorations to celebrate Christmas.

    Ah ok. So they could talk about a "Christmas season" premier during the Summer if they wanted to.

    AAL itself? 9 episode Disney+ series (presumably shorter episodes ala WandaVision and She-Hulk), following up on the character from WandaVision. Agatha trying to get her groove back. Witches and witch coven focus. Has an 80's/90's horror mix-mash vibe in there. Exorcist and Evil Dead meet Hocus Pocus and The Craft. Very Halloweeny.

    Evil Dead! I'm still hoping there's a non-zero chance Plaza could still be the Shadow King from Legion as they did "use" Foxverse Peter Maximoff in Wandavision

    It's hard to tell from this trailer if she is a real character or a head character, outside of the "Green Witch" flashbacks. I think the only time she interacts with someone is with Billy in what looks like an insane asylum? So, that actually could connect to Shadow King, amusingly enough. But it seems like she is a gender-swapped, existing character. That said, I guess that technically doesn't rule out the Shadow King since he just inhabits other people.

    In fact, from now on, I'm just going to assume every character is inhabited by Aubrey Plaza until proven otherwise. She's like an unseen emotion in Inside Out 2, chilling in the background until the power of Snark is required.

    The way the teaser started I thought it was a parody of Mare of Easttown.

    A theory flying around says the show will have the same structure of WandaVision but instead of sitcoms, either horror movies or procedural shows from Agatha's memories..
    Pay attention to the trailer and note the clothes of each scene seems to be from a diferent time period.
    BTW, do you remember that Ralph Boner was the co-star of Mare of Easttown, right :p

    So does this pretty much confirm Wanda's death in MOM if her death was what broke the memory magic on Agatha?

    Not feeling it. Not knocking it for those who do - and I mean that. Just saying to me, it looks like generic "witchy stuff". It doesn't suggest much of the campy humor that was a big part of the character when we saw her in WANDAVISION. There may be an audience for this, and if so, awesome, but to me, looks kind of meh.

    And all this time I thought it was "The Mayor of Easttown"... but then "The Mayor Kingstown" started the same year.

    I thought I heard about a rumor that Agatha will meet Morgan Elsbeth at some point in the Multiverse.

    They're both Disney products, after all.

    This looks decidedly meh.
    Why is Marvel doing stuff like this when they could be making a Ghost Rider show to give us the supernatural stuff?

    If they want more stuff about the Darkhold, make a Doctor Doom show where he's the only person to read it and learn its secrets without going mad.

    Use characters most people care about and want to see, that way the general audience is more likely to watch

    My main problem is that it's look like a thing of its own with no connection to the CONNECTED universe. At least Wong ( Sorcerer Supreme) will appear , right ?
    At this point a series like this should be connecting dots with Blade, MoonKnight, Werewolf by Night and introducing many other supernatural Marvel characters like Ghost Rider but seems ( and from what we heard) there's no such a thing.

    Looking at the cast, this is effectively a direct sequel to WV, with several Westview characters returning in some capacity (including Debra Jo Rupp) in addition to the same writer/showrunner. I would assume the (somewhat obvious) intention here is to build out the witchcraft side of things (since MOM helped further distinguish between wizard and witch powers) while also having something that is more directly traditional Halloween/horror in style like WBN rather than just supernatural-adjacent stuff like Moon Knight and Ghost Rider, or chracters that they'd have to hold back in reserve (ie: you wouldn't be able to go full-on Blade vs vampires since that would get ahead of the point of his solo film, etc).

    This is kinda why I like it right now. It's connected to obvious stuff like WandaVision but not trying to shove connections down our throat in the preview.
