Agatha All Along: Biggest Burning Questions and Will There Be a Season 2

This article contains spoilers for the Agatha All Along finale.

Well witches, we’ve finally hit the end of the road. Was there closure? No. Was there a jaw-dropping finale reveal? Kinda! Did we have fun along the way? Mostly, yeah.

So, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) is dead, Billy Maximoff (Joe Locke) has realized he has mommy’s proclivity for creating realities but evidently doesn’t need earth-shattering emotional distress to do so, and Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata) is the only member of the coven who gets to fly off into the sunrise. It’s a pretty cut and dried ending to Agatha’s portion of the story, but there’s still plenty of Billy in our future. Let’s take a look at what’s to come for the witches of the MCU.

Will There Be an Agatha All Along Season 2?

We don’t have confirmation one way or the other, but the immediate answer is a strong “probably not.” Agatha’s story is, for all intents and purposes, mostly wrapped up until she manages to find closure and one day musters the will to face her son in the afterlife. In the meantime, ghost effects ain’t cheap. Expect to see Marvel’s own wicked witch pop up now and again in future stories, but it’s unlikely she’ll get another season of television devoted solely to her escapades.

Where Is Tommy?

Usually, we’d turn to the comics origins to get answers here. But, given that the MCU has basically turned Billy and Tommy Maximoff’s stories on their heads, the comics aren’t a lot of help. Still, it feels worth mentioning that in those origins he ends up a government test subject. In the MCU — at least for now — he just seems to be having a really, really bad time at the pool.

As Tommy’s new body takes its final breaths, Billy is able to will his brother’s soul to take over. Now, all the boys have to do is find each other. Given that Auntie Agatha seems to have made it her mission to help the two reunite, we’ll likely be catching up with the twins sooner than we think.

Why Is Agatha Helping Billy?

Agatha Harkness is a fickle yet complicated witch. All she does is slaughter covens and steal power. Still, Billy’s belief in the witch mirrors that of the audience who has actually grown to care for her despite her indiscretions. Agatha’s helping Billy for the same reason she’s been helping him all along — he reminds her of her son, Nicky.

Early in the season, I found her protectiveness of Billy to be from out of left field. She killed the boy’s dog not four years ago! But as things progressed we started to see her softness toward the Maximoff boy grow. Point of fact, he’s the only witch we see her stealing power from that she does not kill. So, wittle Billy and Auntie Agatha’s adventures it is!

How Did Jennifer Kale Survive the Witches Road if It Was Fake?

As mentioned, Jennifer Kale is the only one who manages to survive Billy’s road illusion. Immediately after her disappearance, Agatha says it’s because “she got what she wanted from the road,” which, to Billy’s mind (which was creating the illusion from the start) was true. As for getting what she wanted, it was a mere happenstance that she came to the realization that Agatha was the one who had bound her all those years ago. Jen is then able to free herself from the spell she was trapped in for a century before Agatha has the chance to kill her.

Why Does Death Cry When Agatha Sacrifices Herself?

Because Wile E. Coyote isn’t meant to catch the Road Runner, that’s why. And, not for nothing, but those two witches are in love love. They hate each other because fate has dealt each of them a complicated hand. Death took away what Agatha loved most because keeping the balance between the living and the dead is the sole purpose of her existence. Agatha evades Death at every turn because she can’t bear to face the son she failed or that the woman she loved took what she cared about most from her.

Why Does Death Let Billy Go?

The second verse is the same as the first. Death made a deal with Agatha. Billy Maximoff is an abomination to the very balance that Rio is meant to protect. But also she made a promise to her ex-girlfriend and she’s gonna keep it. She’s probably gonna be big mad about Tommy but, just like Billy, she can’t force him to come with her. If either boy dies, they’ll simply reincarnate again.
