The WandaVision spinoff series, series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to air on Disney+, WandaVision was a huge hit for the streaming service that began a new era for the franchise on the small screen. Following Vision's (Paul Bettany) death in Avengers: Infinity War, WandaVision finds Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) putting a Hex on the town of Westview where she lives out an alternate reality based on different decades of television sitcom with a new version of Vision to help cope with his death.
By the series' end, it was clear that WandaVision was leading into various other MCU projects, including a post-credits scene that set up Scarlet Witch for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It was also recently revealed that a Vision series is in development for Disney+, likely picking up after the events of WandaVision. Last year, it was revealed that Marvel Studios was developing a direct spinoff of WandaVision centered on Agatha Harkness, the titular heroes' nosey neighbor, Agnes, who was revealed to be the show's secret villain and a powerful witch.
Now, Agatha: Coven of Chaos has added Joe Locke to its cast, per Variety. Locke is known for his lead role in Heartstopper as Charlie Spring, a gay teenager who falls in love with a popular classmate played by Kit Connor. The Netflix show was an immediate hit, as it was renewed for a second and third season, and clearly, its cast is garnering interest in other high-profile roles.
