Marvel Studios has released a new featurette for Agatha All Along which offers a glimpse at what's down the Witches' Road. Along the way, we hear from cast, see new footage from the series, and even get a glimpse behind the scenes. 

Like WandaVision before it, it seems a lot of clues, Easter Eggs, and misdirects have been seeded throughout the show to get fans talking as each new episode drops. 

Of course, one of the biggest Agatha All Along mysteries is what the deal is with Joe Locke's "Teen," a character most fans are convinced is really Billy Maximoff, a.k.a. Wiccan. The trailers have dropped some visual hints and it's apparent Marvel Studios wants to keep us guessing. 

Entertainment Weekly recently caught up with Agatha All Along showrunner Jac Schaeffer and got her take on the theories that there's more to "Teen" than meets the eye based on what's been revealed by Marvel Studios thus far.

"I don't have a lot of input on the trailers, which is where everything starts to be beyond my reach," she explains when asked about Wiccan. "I think that everything has meaning, and when all these little pieces come out and everybody is theorizing, I like to think it creates a froth that enhances everyone's experience of what they're about to see."

As for how it feels to see so many theories for the show, Schaeffer adds, "I still get a little nervous, but I have the experience of WandaVision, this voice in my head that's like, no one knows the how. So if they're right or they're wrong, if they're disappointed, that I can't control. I have faith that the writers and I took great pains to make the journey of it the fun part."

Locke also chimed in, telling the site only, "The fan theories are fun, but they're fans' theories and I shouldn't be the one to comment on them until it's the right time."

Check out that new featurette and TV spot for Agatha All Along in the players below.

In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. 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 series stars Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza.

The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer, who is also the head writer and directed three episodes. Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Monteiro each direct three episodes of the original live-action series.

Agatha All Along premieres on September 18 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.

This quote isn’t 100% true “if they're disappointed, that I can't control”. The Mephisto stuff was hype and theorizing that got out of control. But there was no need to do the Bohner joke. Even if Peter’s wasn’t playing the Fox universe quicksilver and was a normal person (which is just bad writing on its own), don’t give him a name that is a joke for 8 year olds. The show runner does have a say in that doesn’t he?

Overall though, WandaVision is still one of the best MCU shows, if not the best one. I’m not interested in this at all, but reviews could sway me.

@mountainman -
This looks to be really good. The sheer level of acting talent is impressive. I think it's going to surprise a lot of people.

@Goldboink - So far I can’t say it’s intrigued me one bit. But I can also say i’ve never seen a show or movie about witches in my life that has intrigued me.

Some small pieces of imagery from the trailer and released photos have seemed interesting. But the clips I’ve seen have been not my thing.

This seems more built for people that liked The Craft or Hocus Pocus than those of us that liked Warewolf by Night and want more of that vibe in this supernatural side of the MCU.

@mountainman - I loved WWBN, especially seeing a faithful Man Thing. It's the same corner of the MCU but dressed up differently. Nobody has to like everything.

Disney continues to produce unnecessary and uninteresting series for the MARVEL audience that saturate the market.

With the amount of main characters that deserve their own series and we have this Hocus Pocus sequel that is not even based on the comics

@lvcl - I entirely agree. If they had wanted to do Agatha then this show should be the introduction to the Fantastic Four maybe or something like that. It’s as if they felt the audience warmed to get do they’d double down the character which is a common mistake of there’s like thinking a little humour was good so they went overboard with it in later movies. Very naive really when you think about it.

0:43 "every single effect will be done practically", proceeds to end the trailer with multiple shots using CGI.

With a little bit of luck this is the last "unwanted" project Marvel sends out.

Save those resources for more wanted characters.

@OptimusCrime - We've still got Ironheart.

@OptimusCrime -
Ironheart and also the eternal production of Captain America 4 that does not stop making reshots and patch scenes, which is a sign that nobody liked it in the first auditions and 2 more woke projects of Thunderbolts and the weird Fantastic 4 with a female Silver Surfer instead of Norin Rad

@JFerguson - I did watch what if season two and this definitely looks more interesting.

So she actually does any but address the theories then?

I didn’t ask for this show as so many on this site like to say but I am becoming more and more intrigued by it. At the very least looks visually exciting. It’s a good Halloween fix perhaps much as Werewolf By Night was.

I sadly think we’ll get another Mephisto-esque situation/theory at some point in this show that people are gonna run wild with but then ultimately blame the show for them reading into something that was never really there , I hope not but we’ll see.

Also cool to see them doing everything almost if not all practically with the sets , miniatures , makeup & prosthetics etc.

Anyway , looks good so can’t wait to see it!!.
