Why Agatha All Along Doesn’t Have A Post-Credits Scene

Key Takeaways

• Agatha All Along lacked a post-credits scene, unlike many Marvel projects.
• Agatha reconciles with Billy at the end, hinting at future MCU appearances.
• Marvel decided not to include post-credits scenes in Agatha All Along, despite them being written.

Marvel’s latest Disney+ series Agatha All Along recently came to an exciting conclusion, but unlike many Marvel Studios projects, it did not have a post-credits scene.

Agatha All Along is a sequel series to 2021’s WandaVision which introduced the notorious witch, Agatha Harkness, into the MCU. The end of WandaVision saw Wanda Maximoff strip Agatha of her magic and trap her in a reality-altering spell. Throughout Agatha All Along, the witch is freed by Joe Locke’s new character Teen (who is later revealed to be Wanda’s son, Billy Maximoff) and recruited along with a coven of witches to travel along the Witches’ Road. Agatha All Along came to an end in its ninth episode, where it was revealed that Billy had unintentionally fabricated the road with his powers, and Agatha was able to return as a ghost after sacrificing herself to Death (Aubrey Plaza).

Agatha All Along Producer Reveals What Happened To the Series’ Post-Credits Scenes

While not all MCU projects have a post-credits scene, it has become something of a hallmark of Marvel Studios’ titles. However, Agatha All Along has no extra footage after the credits roll. It turns out that showrunner Jac Schaeffer did write a few post-credits scenes for the end of Agatha All Along, but they did not make it into the final cut. “Ultimately, it was a Marvel decision not to have a tag on this show,” Schaeffer told Entertainment Weekly in an interview.

“I wrote a number of post-credit scenes, as I’ve done on every Marvel project I’ve ever worked on, because it’s the thing that changes the most and goes the longest as a question mark until you’re finally confronted with it. Ultimately, it was a Marvel decision not to have a tag on this show.”

At the end of Agatha All Along, Billy and Agatha reconcile their conflicts. Agatha refuses to pass on because she is afraid to face her son, Nicky, so Billy asks her if she will be his guide. The last moments see Billy and ghost Agatha leaving her house in Westview together and begin their search for Billy’s long-lost brother, Tommy. Billy was able to use his magical powers to locate Tommy’s soul and place it into the body of a drowning teenage boy, but his exact location remains unknown.

Given the series’ ending, many are now expecting Agatha and Billy to show up again in some form in the MCU, but where is the question? WandaVision will soon receive a second spin-off series in Vision Quest, in which Paul Bettany will return to play his Avengers character, Vision. This would be the most logical place for Billy to reappear as it would reunite him with his father, however, Schaeffer played coy on this in the Entertainment Weekly interview, revealing she couldn’t “speak to the direct handoff to the Vision show.”

It’s unclear what exactly was written into Agatha All Along’s post-credit scenes that led to them being culled from the series. Marvel is notoriously secretive and is perhaps wary of introducing elements in post-credits scenes that may never eventuate. There have been a string of tags at the end of recent Marvel films that are yet to pay off, so perhaps this is a case of the studio playing it safe.

All episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+.
