Agatha Harkness Returns in Marvel Television’s New Series “Agatha All Along”
Disney+ today released a captivating new trailer and key art for the highly anticipated live-action Marvel Television series, “Agatha All Along.” The series will delve into the mysterious and intriguing world of Agatha Harkness, the iconic character portrayed by Kathryn Hahn in the acclaimed Marvel Studios series “WandaVision.”
The showrunner for “Agatha All Along” is none other than Jac Schaeffer, the creative mind behind “WandaVision.” Schaeffer also directs the pilot episode, promising a seamless continuation of Agatha’s story.
The series follows Agatha Harkness as she embarks on a perilous adventure filled with trials and tribulations after a goth Teen breaks her free from a distorted spell. Intrigued by the Teen’s plea to embark on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet that rewards successful witches with what they lack, Agatha forms a desperate coven and begins their perilous journey.
Alongside Kathryn Hahn, “Agatha All Along” boasts a talented cast including Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza.
The series is executive produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos, and Jac Schaeffer, with Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg, and Gandja Montiero taking on directing duties.
“Agatha All Along” premieres exclusively on Disney+ on September 18th at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET with a double-episode debut.
Peter Pan’s Flight Takes Flight for Refurbishment at Walt Disney World
Neverland will be temporarily grounded for refurbishment! Peter Pan’s Flight, a beloved attraction at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, has closed its doors for a makeover.
The pixie dust settles from July 8th until August 20th, with a scheduled reopening set for August 21st, 2024. While details remain under wraps, a recently filed permit hints at “set element installations,” suggesting some changes might be in store for Peter Pan’s flight path.
This refurbishment comes amidst ongoing discussions about cultural sensitivity in Disney attractions. Peter Pan’s Flight has been criticized for its portrayal of Native Americans, with some scenes considered outdated and stereotypical. Specifically, the “Indian Village” and its inhabitants have raised concerns about perpetuating harmful tropes.
Disney has been addressing such issues across its parks and properties. Recent updates to Jungle Cruise, Country Bear Jamboree, and Splash Mountain removed racially insensitive elements, promoting a more inclusive and culturally sensitive atmosphere.
Whether Peter Pan’s Flight will receive similar adjustments remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: Neverland is getting a refresh!

Located near Disney Springs around exit 68, this billboard serves as a colorful reminder that the reimagined attraction officially opened its doors at Magic Kingdom on June 28th. So, buckle up for a musical Mardi Gras journey through the bayou with Tiana and her crew!

Behind the Scenes Look at Disney’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree
Walt Disney World is about to get a whole lot twangier as the Country Bear Musical Jamboree is set to open its doors next week. The beloved bears are returning with a brand-new show, featuring reimagined Disney tunes in a variety of country styles, from bluegrass and Americana to rockabilly and beyond.
Fans can expect to hear some of their favorite Disney classics with a country twist, including “Try Everything” from “Zootopia” and “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin.” As revealed in the latest episode of “We Call It Imagineering,” the bears have been hard at work perfecting their new sound, ready to delight audiences of all ages.
Before the show officially opens on July 17th, Disney is offering a sneak peek behind the scenes, introducing the individual bears and providing a glimpse into the creation of the new musical numbers.
After an inspirational hibernation season, Ursus H. Bear set out to create a permanent cultural showplace dedicated to America’s musical heritage. In 1898, Ursus established Grizzly Hall where the honey tycoon-turned-impresario invited tuneful bruins to present zany and captivating performances in a show that quickly became known as a wild and wooly good time!
Henry
Years later, Ursus’s grandson Henry took over and now serves as the master of bear-emonies. He even helped develop the current show and co-wrote the opening song with the Five Bear Rugs.
Five Bear Rugs
Speaking of the Five Bear Rugs, there’s Zeke and Zeb and Ted and Fred and a bear named Tennessee, and they’re all playing with real ol’ country rhythm.
If you look to the bottom right of the stage, you’ll even see Zeb’s son, Oscar, holding a Big Al plush.
Trixie
One of the Country Bears’ most veteran performers is the one and only Trixie. After trying everything, she eventually found her niche for performing. Now fans can find her singing away with triplets Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah.
Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah
Originally known as The Sun Bonnets, these girls recently turned in their bonnets for Stetsons when they began singing with Trixie around the world, including a sold-out engagement at Royal Ursa Hall.
Teddi Barra
Not to be outdone by Trixie is The Jewel of the Dakotas, Teddi Barra. Her rise in show biz was meteoric after being discovered in an ice cream parlor.
Wendell
Wendell, on the other hand, was a frustrated basketball, baseball and football player until Henry invited him to try carrying a tune, and he’s been part of the Country Bears gang ever since. He’s thrilled to finally sing a love song with Teddi, much to the dismay of his old friend Henry.
Ernest the Dude
Ernest the Dude is one of the best-dressed bears guests will see at Grizzly Hall – he brings his entire wardrobe wherever he goes. For those counting, that’s 17 trunks filled with 30 coats, 40 slacks, 60 shirts, 20 hats and a pair and a half of underwear.
Terrence, aka Shaker
Ernest and Trixie aren’t the only actors in the bear band. Terrence, aka Shaker, was once a famous theater star until a fall from the balcony in “Romeo and Juliet” brought the house down – literally.
Ever since that fateful night, he turned in his tights for a guitar and created a signature dance move that he’s used ever since. Don’t worry about Terrence, though. Despite having a face only a Mama Bear could love – and being perpetually single – he’s ready to launch his film career.
Romeo McGrowl
Speaking of starting a new chapter, one bear is ready to enter his next era of singing rockabilly. Of course, I’m referring to none other than the Miami Serenader himself, Romeo McGrowl.
Gomer
Our resident piano player Gomer also knows a thing or two about rebrands. Having been classically trained since he was a cub, Gomer’s favorite composition before switching to country and western music was “Night on Bear Mountain.”
Big Al
And of course, what would the Country Bears be without Big Al? There’s music in this bear’s blood, and he’s been playing the guitar since he was a child.
He was even the resident bard and balladeer in the swamp before Disney World was built. Coming off his 25th Farewell Tour in cities like Paris (Texas), Hollywood (Florida) and London (Ohio), Big Al is a true legend.
The Country Bear Musical Jamboree promises to be a rootin’ tootin’ good time for the whole family, filled with toe-tapping music, heartwarming humor, and the charm that has made the Country Bears a Disney classic for generations. So dust off your cowboy hats and get ready to do-si-do your way into this musical adventure!
