A spin-off of a series, Agatha All Along has Kathryn Hahn reprising her role as Agatha Harkness, a witch who first appeared in Marvel Studios’ WandaVision. The latter, which starred Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as the central characters of Wanda and Vision, respectively, received an overwhelming reception from fans for Hahn’s portrayal of her character, leading to her show.
Directed by Jac Schaeffer, the nine-episode series will focus on the powerful witch escaping from Wanda’s trap, a plotline connecting it to the parent series. A goth teen, played by Joe Locke, who comes to her rescue, will then join her in banding alongside a coven as Agatha sets on to restore her power and legacy by facing the trials of the Witches’ Road.
Thereafter, additional casts such as Aubrey Plaza, Paul Adelstein, and Sasheer Zamata promise to bring a unique blend of mystery, horror, and superhero fantasy.

Both Agatha All Along and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina feature female leads, a dark, mystical tone, supernatural adventures, and a mix of dark comedy and horror. However, while the former is just in its first season, the latter has aired four parts and a Christmas special.
In its 36 episodes, the Netflix show follows Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina Spellman, a half-witch, half-mortal teenager.

4) Loki (2021) - Disney+
Agatha All Along and Loki are part of the Marvel Universe, both produced by Marvel Studios and focusing on a character-driven story. However, their underlying stories and character motivations differ vastly, even if subtle similarities exist.

The plot follows Janet Montgomery as Mary Sibley, a powerful witch who controls the trials using mass hysteria and manipulation. However, her hidden motives involve sinister plans to summon the Devil and unleash pure evil.
However, her plans get complicated following the re-emergence of her long-lost love, adding a gothic romance subplot. Meanwhile, a dark setting and intense witchcraft depictions lend it a horror thriller angle.

Each of them has unique powers as well. Possessing the abilities to freeze time, use telepathy, and telekinesis, the three use these while encountering the likes of demons and supernatural threats and discovering family secrets along the way.
A strong female cast, character development, a mixture of drama and fantasy, and a modern take on witchcraft make this show stand close to Agatha All Along.
7) Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021) - Netflix
Brand New Cherry Flavor is a horror-drama and psychological thriller featuring magic, trysts with the supernatural, curses, and even zombies. It also shares the theme of the corrupting influence of power, one that forms the basis of Kathryn Hahn’s witch in Agatha All Along.
The Netflix miniseries revolves around Rosa Salazar’s character, Lisa Nova. An aspiring film director in 1990s Los Angeles, she is betrayed by a producer and vows revenge. However, her vengeance takes a supernatural turn, with dark secrets, hit men, overpowered kittens, and zombies filling the plot.
While uncovering secrets from her past, the character also explores the dark side of Hollywood, a storyline that lends it psychological thrill elements.
8) Mayfair Witches (2023) - Netflix, amc+
Mayfair Witches and its exploration of witchcraft, power, and legacy, alongside goth and supernatural horror vibes, connect it to Agatha All Along.

However, she soon has to gather herself and face a sinister spirit named Lasher, who has haunted her family for decades.
