WandaVision
WandaVision is a TV miniseries based on Marvel Comics that features Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision. It was created by Jac Schaeffer, who was the head writer, and directed by Matt Shakman for Disney+. WandaVision takes place three weeks following the events portrayed in Avengers: Endgame, with Wanda and Vision living a suburban life in Westview, N.J.

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprised their roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision from the film series to bring the sitcom-inspired series to life. WandaVision also stars Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness; a spinoff called Agatha: House of Harkness is in the works.
