Agatha All Along episode 1 scored 9.3 million views in the first week of its release, as reported by the Walt Disney Company on September 26, 2024. The hour-long episode titled Seekest Thou the Road premiered on September 18, 2024.
Disney calculates the views for a particular episode by dividing the total stream time by its runtime. Thus, the premiere episode of Agatha All Along has been watched for a total of nearly 6.5 million hours.
A spin-off to WandaVision, the series centers on Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) trying to restore her magical powers by walking the treacherous Witches' Road with her newly recruited coven of witches.
Disney did not use a standard metric to collect data on Agatha All Along's debut episode
Trending
Disney+ does not collect viewership reports for all of its shows and is selective with the data it shares publicly. Additionally, the streaming platform is not consistent with the time metrics it uses to collect data as, in the past, it has released viewership tallies for three, five, six, and even seven days.
As per Disney's reports, the first two episodes of the Star Wars series, The Acolyte, received 11.1 million views globally in the first five days of its premiere in June 2024. Furthermore, the space fantasy series, Ahsoka, clocked 14 million views in five days for its debut episode in August 2023.
In December 2023, the first episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians reached 13.3 million views within six days of its release on Disney+ and Hulu. Lastly, Loki season 2's first episode recorded 10.9 million views over three days in October 2023.
It is difficult to make a comparative analysis between Agatha All Along and other shows as Disney has not followed a standardized metric for time while collecting viewership data. With that said, the Kathryn Hahn-starrer is among the platform's top draws as it continues to enthrall viewers with its exceptional story and execution.
It must be noted that Disney never released similar data for Agatha All Along’s prequel series, WandaVision. Forbes reported that the Elizabeth Olsen-starrer hit 6.5 million views (Nielsen ratings) for the show's first two episodes in its debut week in January 2021. It also entered the Nielsen streaming charts as one of the 10 most-watched series on streaming the week of its debut, according to Variety.
The plot, cast, and crew of Agatha All Along's debut episode
The episode, Seekest Thou the Road, was written and directed by showrunner Jac Schaeffer. It begins with the titular character still under Wanda's spell and living as the police detective Agnes O'Connor inside the crime series, Agnes of Westview.

The fantasy series features Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza, Debra Jo Rupp, Sasheer Zamata, Maria Dizzia, Ali Ahn, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili.
