The wild world of WandaVision has officially been unveiled on Disney+. Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as newlyweds Wanda Maximoff and Vision, the series transports viewers to a different era with each episode. The first was filmed in front of a live studio audience in an homage to the ‘50s. Episode 2 shifts to the ’60s and the third episode takes place in the ’70s, complete with Brady Bunch references. Each Friday, a new spell-binding installment drops, fueling speculation about a potential second season.
“The show is like a blank slate for them,” Olsen tells ELLE.com of the lead superheroes. “Wanda and Vision’s journey to this point is a story of pure, innocent love and deep connection with another person. It was also very traumatizing. Tragedy has always been their story. In our show, we kind of wipe that clean and start fresh.” While Olsen can’t weigh in on a season 2 renewal yet, she did tease: “The reason it’s a sitcom shows itself later in the show. When Kevin [Feige] told me, it didn’t feel so bizarre. It felt like a great way to start our story.”
Ahead, everything we know about a second season from director Matt Shakman (Succession, The Great) and writer Jac Schaeffer (Captain Marvel, Black Widow), including which MCU film Olsen’s Scarlet Witch will appear in next.

According to Olsen, a second season of WandaVision is not out of the question.
When asked directly about season 2 by Collider, Olsen said, “It could [have a second season].” It’s already been confirmed that Olsen will return as the Scarlet Witch in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a film that directly ties to WandaVision. As for what Bettany’s teased about the finale of season 1? “Episode by episode, week by week, Vision begins to really realize something is not right about this,” he told Collider. “Something is not right about this town. And then the MCU that we all collide [sic] in the most epic of endings.”
Some Disney+ shows will only be one season.
Previously, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that some MCU shows on Disney+ (four of which will debut in 2021) will only last a single season, while others will go on for multiple seasons and/or connect to Marvel films. “It will vary,” Feige told Variety. “There are some shows that have been built to further expand our storytelling and then go into features. We’ve already announced Lizzie Olsen being a part of Doctor Strange 2. We’ve announced Teyonah Parris being part of Captain Marvel 2. There are some shows that, while always interconnected, are being built with multiple seasons in mind.”
As episodes debut, new theories about season 2 are emerging.
The first four installments of WandaVision have already dropped, leading to buzz about which direction the season could go in. At the end of the third episode, Wanda gives birth to twins Billy and Tommy, prompting speculation about whether the pair will grow up to be Young Avengers Wiccan and Speed from the comics.

Another interesting theory: that curious neighbor Agnes (Hahn) is actually Agatha Harkness, who is both an antagonist and mystical guide for Wanda in the comics. The dynamic between Agnes and Wanda could be explored further in a second season.
It’s unclear which cast members could return.
While the show continues to air, it’s impossible to know the final fates of WandaVision‘s cast. It’s likely that Olsen and Bettany would return as the titular superheroes. In the first season, they’re joined by Parris as Monica Rambeau/Geraldine, Hahn as Agnes, Kat Dennings as Dr. Darcy Lewis, and Randall Park as FBI agent Jimmy Woo.
A premiere date for WandaVision season 2 is also TBD.
As continuation of WandaVision has yet to be confirmed, there’s no official release date. However, with the pandemic delaying productions and a litany of other Marvel titles set to debut, it’s unlikely season 2 would bow before late 2022.
