When Marvel Studios WandaVision debuted on Disney Plus in January 2021, fans bemoaned the short runtime of the series episodes. While the early episodes were intentionally short to mimic the runtimes of the classic sitcoms to which the series paid homage, only the fifth episode and final two episodes stretched beyond thirty minutes, credits not included. While it made for easily digestible content, WandaVision’s episode length kicked off the great MCU runtime fiasco that has yet to abate. However, it turns out the studio may have learned something from WandaVision

In Marvel Studios’ 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…

-Official synopsis for Marvel Studios’ Agatha All Along

Whether it was always the plan or not, WandaVision spawned a pair of spinoffs in Agatha All Along and the as-yet-untitled Vision series. The first of those series, the nine-episode Kathryn Hahn-led Agatha Harkness series, will debut on Disney Plus in mid-September and has already been screened by some members of the press. And while plot spoilers have remained sealed away, some information on the series has escaped Marvel Studios’ protective hex.

Via Scarlet Witch Updates, the runtimes for the first four episodes of Agatha All Along have made their way online. While none of the episodes will approach an hour, the runtimes all exceed thirty minutes and each is significantly longer than any of the first four episodes of WandaVision.

With Agatha All Along continuing the pattern of Disney Plus series debuting with two episodes, fans will be treated to over an hour of witchy content when the show premieres on September 18th.
