Marvel’s Agatha: Coven of Chaos will feature original musical numbers courtesy of WandaVision songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

Patti LuPone, who will be playing Lilia Calderu in the upcoming MCU series, teased more about her character in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She said Lilia is “a 450-year-old Sicilian witch” who is part of a coven with a penchant for musical performance.

“Our lead singer is Kathryn [Hahn],” she revealed when asked if the witches would break out into song. “I’m singing backup, and the songs have been written by Kristen and Bobby Lopez.

“I said, ‘Listen, I don’t harmonize. I’ve always been a soprano. I’ve always been on the top line,'” LuPone recalled. “But it’s just been great fun. There’s no CGI either. What I am seeing on this show is craft.”

The husband-and-wife lyricists behind the new songs were also responsible for WandaVision’s catchy sitcom themes, including the epic earworm Agatha All Along performed by Hahn. The popular song became an instant fan-favorite and even earned an Emmy award.

By the sounds of it, we can expect plenty more witchy goodness when the series premieres in either late 2023 or early 2024. Each episode will dive further into Harkness’ complicated history, allegiances, and rivalries with the other members of Marvel’s wickedly cacklesome coven.
