As WandaVision rolls on, viewers are finally getting some answers about what’s going on in Westview. They’re also getting a hell of a lot more questions.
WandaVision showrunner Jac Schaeffer holds the answers to all those questions, but she’s not telling—yet, at least. In the video above, we talk to her about whether the show will get a second season, how the WandaVision team places its Easter Eggs, and what she likes about writing female superheroes. (She’s previously worked on both Captain Marvel and Black Widow.) We also pressed her for details on working with some of our favorite female real life superheroes—namely, Emma Caulfield and Kathryn Hahn.
New episodes of Wandavision come out every Friday on Disney Plus.

I really hope there is no season 2. This show really seems like a great idea for a limited series but keeping it going on and on will suck
I agree. I’m one of those people who really digs the sitcom conceit (and I know that others don’t), but I’m not sure how you could keep that up past one season, and once the show ditches that, it would lose a lot of its appeal as a quirky outlier in the larger MCU.
The premise definitely wouldn’t hold up to a second season, but the characters might.
This is the first show in a long time I’ve been excited for each episode to drop.
Luckily I think the odds of them managing to schedule both Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany for another months-long shoot are pretty low: film actors usually like to keep doing features lest casting agents start to think of them as “tv actors”.
Marvel should bet on a mix of some recurring series and some limited ones. Not every concept needs to be stretched to the breaking point, while some stories are better told in a traditional format that leaves potential for more episodes.
Exactly, I would love to see limited series with different character interactions and scales then just trying to keep one popular show going forever.
That’s how I’m feeling about most of the announced Disney+ shows, otherwise its just going to be too much and will take away from their specialness. I mean I’ll eat it up like the filthy pig I am, but I won’t feel good about it!
Yeah I can definitely go for a second Wanda and Vision series but not a second Wandavision. This concept was great but it’s good for a small dose not a continuing series in itself.
I couldn’t see how they could get a season out of the premise after the first two episodes. Now I’m all in. So I’m happy to assume they’d know what they’re doing if they do produce a second season, and that I’m not creative enough to anticipate what it would be like.I did just read Tom King’s Vision run. They could adapt parts of that story (they’ve already borrowed Sparky).
Totally agree–this show makes sense for where the MCU is right now and where Wanda is emotionally (well, as much sense as a show like this can make, anyway)–I can’t imagine there would be plans for a season 2. I could see spin-offs from this show with no problem, but doing this again wouldn’t make any sense.
“Important to have that hive mind. ” Eh? Eh?
Only if Quake’s part of the deal.
