The first episode of “Agatha All Along” hit 9.3 million views on Disney+ in its first seven days of streaming.
A spinoff of the 2021 Marvel limited series “WandaVision,” the series premiered on Sept. 18. Disney defines a view as the total amount of time watched divided by runtime. Therefore, the episode was watched for an approximate total of 6.5 million hours, when multiplying views by runtime.
The opening of “Agatha All Along” appears to be roughly on par with that of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” which in December 2023 debuted with 13.3 million views in six days, as well as “The Acolyte,” the June 2024 Star Wars series that hit 11.1 million views in five days. However, because Disney hasn’t provided statistics measured through a standardized period of time, it’s difficult to make conclusive comparisons. However, “Agatha” is definitively behind “Ahsoka,” the Star Wars series that premiered in August 2023 and hit a higher total in less time: 14 million views in five days.
“Agatha All Along” stars Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, who, per the official logline, “finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth teen (Joe Locke) 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.” The cast also includes Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, Patti LuPone and Aubrey Plaza.
The series hails from Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer as executive producers and Trevor Waterson as co-producer.
