To say we’re excited for Agatha: Coven of Chaos would be an understatement, and the upcoming Disney+ series has just added Broadway legend Patti LuPone to the cast.
The show, which is a spin-off of the critically-acclaimed WandaVision, will see Kathryn Hahn return as the titular witch, having previously gone head-to-head with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) in Westview.
Agatha, who was previously known as nosy neighbour Agnes, has quickly made her mark as one of the most captivating new members of the cast, introducing the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) to realms of magic not seen before in the franchise.
And now, Patti will be joining the likes of Heartstopper fave Joe Locke and The White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza, according to Deadline.
The three-time Tony winner’s role in Agatha is still being kept under wraps, although rumours speculate that she’ll be playing a witch.

Patti, 73, predominantly known for stage roles, has starred on two seasons of American Horror Story and recently quit the stage union Actors Equity.
‘I don’t think I will be doing eight shows a week ever again. Not that I can’t, because that’s what I’m built for. I don’t want to,’ she said at the time.
