Nearly 3 years after its premiere, WandaVision's home media release confirms whether or not it will get another season.

Summary

• Wanda Maximoff's tragic character arc in WandaVision transforms her into a multiverse-threatening supervillain known as the Scarlet Witch, setting up her role as the antagonist in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
• The ambiguous ending of Wanda's story in Multiverse of Madness suggests a potential for her return in future MCU projects, but Marvel's release of WandaVision: The Complete Series implies that it won't have a second season.
• While Wanda may not return to the MCU, WandaVision's story can continue indirectly through spinoff shows focusing on other characters like Agatha Harkness and the White Vision.

The fate of the MCU’s version of Wanda Maximoff and the future of WandaVision has been confirmed by Marvel nearly three years after the show’s premiere. Wanda Maximoff undergoes a tragic character arc in WandaVision that sees her put her powers to their most horrific use in the MCU, as she transitions from Avenger to multiverse-threatening supervillain. As the Scarlet Witch, Wanda is the antagonist of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which seemingly ended on an ambiguous note for Maximoff, potentially leaving the door open for future appearances.

Overcome by grief over the loss of her lover, Vision, after Avengers: Infinity War (and having lost her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff, in Avengers: Age of Ultron), Wanda Maximoff unleashes her mind-controlling and reality-warping powers on the Northern New Jersey town of Westview. Multiverse of Madness completed Wanda’s turn to villainy by having her embrace the corrupting powers of the Darkhold and murder anyone necessary to allow her to live in a reality with her sons, Billy and Tommy Maximoff. Wanda seemingly dies, however, when she destroys the Darkhold Castle, bringing the massive structure down on her.

WandaVision's Home Release Confirms It Won't Get A Second Season

The ambiguous nature of Wanda’s demise in Multiverse of Madness has led some to understandably predict that she may return to the MCU, possibly in another season of WandaVision. Marvel has effectively debunked this notion with the forthcoming home media release of Marvel Studios’ WandaVision: The Complete Series, whose name indicates that the show’s first season is its only season. Comparatively, Loki’s first home media release, which was announced simultaneously, is listed as Marvel Studios’ Loki: The Complete First Season, and a Loki season 2 has already been announced and promoted.

Not only will WandaVision not receive another season, but Wanda Maximoff herself is also potentially unlikely to return to the MCU. Elizabeth Olsen has stated that she has no plans to reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff, seeing WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness as natural stepping-off points for a character she was proud to have portrayed for nearly a decade. Kevin Feige, notably, expressed enthusiasm to bring Olsen back as Wanda, implying that perhaps a multiversal variant of her may play a role in a future MCU property. For the primary MCU iteration of Wanda Maximoff, however, it is safe to assume that she is deceased.

How WandaVision Can Continue Without A Second Season

Whether or not Wanda herself returns to the MCU, WandaVision can continue in an indirect sense via its spiritual successors. WandaVision’s antagonist, Agatha Harkness, will star in the upcoming Agatha: Coven of Chaos, which will presumably continue her story following the events of WandaVision. Vision’s reincarnated form, the MCU's White Vision, will also star in an upcoming property: Vision Quest. WandaVision told a complete story, bridging Wanda’s character development between Avengers: Endgame and Multiverse of Madness, and with Wanda likely deceased, the show is better off being continued via its two spinoff shows.
