New Disney+ Series ‘Agatha All Along’ Touted As ‘Gayest Project Marvel Has Ever Done’

The much-hyped Disney+ series “Agatha All Along” is “the gayest project Marvel has ever done,” according to one of its stars.

Actress Sasheer Zamata confirmed that description was accurate when asked by a reporter while walking the red carpet in a video posted by Variety on Monday. She agreed with that assessment, saying, “I think witches are queer inherently just because we are outcasts and like, set aside for many reasons.”

She continued, “I think this show shows a really good representation of different types of people and that we can all use the power we have within to like, go forth and be great.”

“Agatha All Along” is the follow-up to Marvel’s “WandaVision” miniseries, which debuted in 2021. The new iteration follows the character Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), who was revealed to be a powerful sorceress.

“The infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell,” the show’s description on Disney+ says. “Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…”

The show is being touted for “representation” just weeks after the cancellation of Disney’s series “The Acolyte,” which was described as “the gayest ‘Star Wars’ yet.” Showrunner Leslye Headland bragged about how “The Acolyte” was “coded queer” and how she intended “to allow her own personal experiences as a queer woman shine through in the finished product.”

After disappointing viewership, the “Star Wars” show was not renewed for a second season.

“Agatha” star Zamata recently came out as a lesbian. “I’m out in my life and I do keep my personal life kind of private, but I also don’t necessarily want my identity to be private,” the “SNL” alum said during an interview for “Them” magazine that was published earlier this month. “I guess I’m one of those late-in-life lesbians. I just feel very comfortable and confident in my life.”

“Agatha All Along,” premieres its first two episodes on Disney+ on September 18.
