6 Witchy TV Shows To Watch After ‘Agatha All Along’

Believe it or not, it’s been over three and half years since WandaVision first entertained us during lockdowns, kicking off what would become a string of MCU series by Marvel Studios. Whether or not all of those series were necessary is a discussion for another day, but 2021’s WandaVision high-key holds up. Its zany trip through Hollywood history was one of 2021’s most clever TV conceits, and its complex characterization of Wanda Maximoff was one of the best that the MCU had ever crafted. Even better, it pulled off a terrific twist with its reveal that “Agnes” was actually the sassy witch Agatha Harkness, who had a magical bone to pick. Thus, the show’s “Agatha All Along” ditty became both a meme and an earworm, burrowing into our collective unconscious until, finally, Disney had no choice but to make millions of dollars from it.

Now, Agatha All Along is officially a TV show, and Agatha Harkness will return with a whole coven of witches on September 18. But where to get your witch fix after Agatha casts her last spell? Don’t worry. We got you.

*Spoilers ahead*

American Horror Story: Coven (2013)

If Agatha All Along excites you more for its diverse cast of witches than for its connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then this show is for you. Just like Agatha All Along brings together a group of unlikely witchy allies, Coven pits powerful witches together, generating both drama and horror. Even the legendary Stevie Nicks makes an appearance in this dysfunctional, volatile coven, upping the ante and making you long for your own witch-filled domicile. Just remember to do your assigned chores so that no one banishes you to purgatory.

Charmed (1998 – 2006 ; 2018 – 2022)

This one is a twofer, because both versions of Charmed are fun. While the original ‘90s version leans into camp, the 2018 version offers diversity and representation. Plus, Alyssa Milano’s unhinged outfits actually look cool again, now that contemporary fashion has circled back to ‘90s grunge. In any case, both series prioritize the protagonists’ strong witchy bonds, even while they’re vanquishing Demons of the Week.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018 – 2022)

This show took all the campy levity from Sabrina the Teenage Witch and cast it to hell, leaving only dark, spooky teen drama. I mean that in a good way! Sabrina’s a real young woman, after all, with real personal conflicts that can’t be erased with a flick of the finger. Plus, witchcraft isn’t always bubbly fun, as evidenced by Sabrina’s many unforgettable encounters with the dark side. That said, it doesn’t hurt to have Harvey around: Even in this version, he’s eye candy.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997 – 2003)

Willow and Tara were one of the first fully-developed queer characters on TV, which is already noteworthy. But witchy viewers also loved witnessing their unbridled power, especially when the two dabbled in the dark arts. Unfortunately, these two were also one of the first couples to succumb to the Bury Your Gays trope, which rubbed fans the wrong way, so maybe stop watching after season five.

A Discovery of Witches (2018 – 2022)

This is one of those rare witch shows with multigenerational appeal, thanks to its epic romantic scenes. Think Outlander meets Twilight. It follows a British historian who inherited magical powers, but refuses to use them since she wants to rebel against her parents despite being a grown-ass woman. (The Netflix synopsis looks a bit different, but I assure you that my description is correct.) Anyway, this show has a lot of sexy scenes with Matthew Goode, who is a forever daddy, which makes up for the fact that his character is a vampire. At least there are several displays of powerful witchy magic to scratch your witch itch.

WandaVision (2021)

If you like Agatha All Along, then you might as well rewatch its parent show. The surreal send-ups of different television eras are often intriguing and occasionally hilarious, and Elizabeth Olsen is at the height of her powers. It’s certainly a shame that the MCU went and undid everything that made her character great, but at least Agatha makes her grand debut in this show. Whether or not the MCU has also ruined Agatha is up for fans to decide.
