At the end of WandaVision, Wanda condemns Agatha to a life trapped in her Westview persona. Agatha All Along picks up after the events of the series and follows Agatha’s journey to free herself and regain her magic following Wanda’s death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With so many entries in the MCU, it can be hard to keep track of when each project takes place. However, Agatha All Along’s place in the timeline can be pinpointed thanks to some pretty big clues dropped throughout episode 1.
Agatha All Along Is Set Three Years After WandaVision
The Series Is A Direct Follow-Up
Episode 1 of Agatha All Along confirms that it takes place three years after WandaVision. It is initially hinted at when Agnes investigates the library card that was found on Wanda’s body. The librarian, Dottie, tells her that the book on record was stolen three years ago. Agnes works out that the book titled Dialogue and Rhetoric: Known History of Learning & Debate is an acronym for the Darkhold. Wanda took possession of the Darkhold at the same time that Agatha was imprisoned in her Agnes persona, so the three years that Dottie mentions line up.
The timeline is later outright confirmed by Agatha’s neighbor Herb. After finally breaking free from Wanda’s spell, Herb tells Agatha that it’s been three years since Wanda arrived in town and created the Westview Anomaly. When Agatha All Along was first announced as a continuation of the events of WandaVision, many fans might’ve expected the series to take place promptly after. However, a three-year gap between WandaVision and Agatha All Along makes sense with everything that happened in the meantime, namely the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
How Long After Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Is It?
Wanda’s Death Plays A Key Role In The Show
The library card eventually confirms to Agatha that she had possession of the Darkhold previously, and Wanda took it in October. WandaVision took place three weeks after Avengers: Endgame according to Marvel’s official MCU timeline, so Wanda taking the Darkhold in October 2023 makes sense. That would line up with how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Wanda’s subsequent death takes place in late 2024. With Agatha All Along three years after WandaVision, that would mean the series takes place around late 2026 or early 2027, around two years after Multiverse of Madness.
WandaVision , Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the first two episodes of Agatha All Along are currently streaming on Disney+.
However, since the library card appeared as the body tag on Wanda’s corpse, it could hold a different meaning. Wanda’s name next to October 13 could mean that was her death date. Agatha’s name is next to January 21, perhaps symbolizing her death in relation to her imprisonment. This scenario would put both WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness three years before Agatha All Along. Although that would mean that the dates of Multiverse of Madness are retconned, it would only be pushed up by a year, which still works out in the greater timeline.
How Agatha All Along Fits Into The Larger MCU Timeline
The Endgame Time Skip Made The MCU Timeline Tricky
Image via Disney+The MCU timeline has gotten extremely messy after the time skip in Avengers: Endgame. Projects used to line up with real-time dates before the Snap and the five-year jump, which has made it harder to pinpoint exactly when things take place. Agatha All Along was always going to take place after WandaVision, but having the confirmed three-year gap helps a lot when fitting the series into the larger MCU timeline. It’s entirely possible that the showrunners disregarded the Endgame time skip and just placed Agatha All Along in relation to WandaVision.
Disregarding the MCU time skip, WandaVision was released in 2021, which would still put Agatha All Along three years after it with its 2024 release. No matter what the showrunners mean by this timeline, every project that has been released after WandaVision still comes before Agatha All Along, whether based on the in-universe timeline or real-time. Both scenarios put Agatha All Along as the most recent event in the MCU, meaning that this will be the jumping-off point for the rest of the Multiverse Saga.
