Agatha All Along Showrunner Confirms Marvel Fan Theory

One of Disney+’s big hits, Agatha All Along, became a favorite among Marvel fans when it premiered last September. Featuring LGBTQIA+ representation and unique storylines, the show left fans theorizing about Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch. The series hints at Agatha’s parenting mystery, with her cryptic statement about making her son “from scratch.”

Fans speculated that Rio, the living embodiment of death, might be Nicholas’ father based on his resemblance to Aubrey Plaza and his interactions with Rio. Finally, showrunner Jac Schaeffer addressed this theory at the PaleyFest Agatha All Along cast panel, revealing that fans were onto something. Sasheer Zamata’s favorite theory was that “a lot of people think Rio is Nicholas’ mom.” Schaeffer confirmed that this was a deliberate choice by the writers and shared this detail with enthusiastic fans at the panel. While Schaeffer had hinted at the connection before, this confirmation was met with applause from the audience.

The reveal of Nicholas’ parentage opens up new possibilities for the MCU. Although a second season of Agatha All Along has not been confirmed, rumors suggest a series focusing on Agatha, Rio, and Billy’s quest to find Billy’s twin brother, Tommy. The storyline established in the first season could play a significant role in any future projects, especially since Rio’s interest in collecting Billy’s soul suggests that Tommy’s reincarnation could be a key plot point.

For now, Marvel fans will have to wait for official confirmation on the future of Agatha’s story. Whether it’s a second season, a related series, or a film continuation, the revelations from the first season of Agatha All Along promise exciting developments for these characters.
