As Marvel Studios' Agatha: Coven of Chaos continues to bolster its ever-growing ensemble, the latest addition is Saturday Night Live and Woke alum Sasheer Zamata.

Deadline reports that the actress/comedian has signed on for a key supporting role, but, as it so often the case, no other details on her character were revealed. However, the trade does note that other recent cast additions Ali Ahn and Maria Dizzia are believed to be playing witches.

Granted, that's not exactly a major revelation given the premise of the WandaVision spin-off!

Kathryn Hahn will reprise the role of Agatha, with Heartstopper star Joe Locke on board as the male lead (possibly Wiccan), and Aubrey Plaza on villain duties. Emma Caulfield Ford is also set to return as Westview resident, Dottie.

Coven of Chaos will focus on powerful sorceress Agatha Harkness, who almost managed to defeat the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in the season finale of WandaVision before being bested and trapped in Westview in her "nosy neighbor Agnes" persona. Though Olsen is not expected to appear, there's speculation that Wanda might have something to do with Harkness' release and/or reformation following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Jac Schaeffer, who is under a joint overall deal with Marvel and 20th Television, will serve as writer and executive producer. A recent report indicated that he will also helm at least one episode.

No premiere date has been announced.

I figure there's no place for Brother Voodoo in a Dr Strange movie at this point (assuming they stop at 3) so it would be interesting if he showed up here in some capacity. Seems like this show, IronHeart and perhaps the WWBN/Blade corner of the MCU will be carrying the supernatural forward, so it may be that he has a place to pop up further down the line

Isn't Jac Schaeffer a woman ?

This would be better as a special. I’m guess they are setting a horror themed team up project down the line.

Still very hilarious that the Fantastic Four’s babysitter is getting a tv show

I still find it funny we talk about this show including a villain as if Agatha is getting a "redemption arc". Seriously, what did she do that was so villainous in wandavision? Kill a puppy? Why does that make her the villain of a show when the hero imprisons an entire town of innocent people and subjects them to her nightmares?
