Agatha: Coven of Chaos has recruited a familiar face: Debra Jo Rupp, who appeared in multiple episodes of WandaVision, has joined the Disney+/Marvel spinoff series, our sister site Deadline reports.
Agatha: Coven of Chaos will see Kathryn Hahn reprising her WandaVision role as nosy neighbor-turned-evil witch Agatha Harkness. (The role earned Hahn an Emmy nomination last year.) In WandaVision‘s season finale, Agatha lost the battle to absorb Wanda’s magic, and Wanda indefinitely trapped Agatha in her nosy neighbor “Agnes” persona.
Although it has not been confirmed, Rupp — who also stars in Netflix’s upcoming That ’70s Show sequel series That ’90s Show — is presumably reprising her WandaVision role of Mrs. Hart (pictured above).
The Agatha: Coven of Chaos cast also includes The White Lotus‘ Aubrey Plaza, Heartstopper‘s Joe Locke, showbiz legend Patti LuPone and Buffy alum Emma Caulfield Ford, who will return to her WandaVision role of Dottie.
