“Agatha: Darkhold Diaries” Haunting Disney+ for Halloween 2024
Kathryn Hahn is back as the bewitching villain Agatha Harkness in the upcoming Disney+ series “Agatha: Darkhold Diaries” – formerly titled “Agatha: Coven of Chaos” – and THR reports tonight that the series will be haunting Disney+ late next year.
“Agatha: Darkhold Diaries” is coming to Disney+ on the road to Halloween 2024.
Tony-winner Patti LuPone joins the previously announced Aubrey Plaza (Child’s Play) and Joe Locke (Heartstopper), as well as Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, and Sasheer Zamata.
Emma Caulfield Ford (“Wandavision”) will also be back as the character Dottie.
Jac Schaeffer (“WandaVision”) is on board the series as writer/exec producer.
Plot details for the spinoff project are under wraps at the moment, so it’s unclear if the series will pick up following the events of “WandaVision.” In the finale’s big final battle, Wanda of course defeated Agatha Harkness, trapping her in the town of Westview.
One of Earth’s most powerful witches, we knew she’d eventually be back…

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
