Agatha: House of Harkness Cast Adds Broadway Icon Patti LuPone
This is the future gays want.
The Agatha: House of Harkness cast just keeps getting better and better, and we are living!
This spin-off of WandaVision focuses on that series’ villain, Agatha, who spent the entire season causing mischief just off camera, only to be revealed with the most camp theme song of all time.
Beyond the series picking up after the events of WandaVision, with Agatha trapped in Westview, little is known of the plot. What we do know, however, is that the cast has us high-key excited for it to premiere.
Kathryn Hahn will reprise her role as the trapped witch, but she will be joined by White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza, who has been cast in an unspecified, villainous role, and Heartstopper’s Joe Locke. No details have been released about who either actor is playing, but that hasn’t stopped speculation. Some believe that Locke will be playing Wanda’s son Billy Kaplan, who is a gay Wiccan teen. Love that for him (and love that even more for us!).
Also previously announced, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, and Sasheer Zamata are joining the series and Emma Caulfield Ford, who first appeared in WandaVision, is expected to return to her role as Dottie.
Today Deadline revealed that another icon has been added to the cast: Broadway star Patti LuPone is headed to Westview. No word yet on who she will play, but just the casting alone is a reason to celebrate — and gay Twitter is already getting in on the festivities.
