Agatha All Along's third episode took us down the Witches' Road and, along the winding path, wine was drunk, nightmares came to life and – at the end of it all – one of the coven ended up dead on the ground. It happens.
Despite that, the actor behind the shocking casualty suggests there's more to come from their character in the rest of the Disney Plus series.

"So, you need to watch more," Rupp said. "But yes, I’m very pleased with Sharon’s arc."
However, that's at odds with our own interview with Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer. The showrunner may be keeping spoilers close to her chest, but her answer felt far more definitive.
"It was a big question – do characters die in the show?" Schaeffer told GamesRadar+. "We went around and around, it was a decision that we made quite late. The scripts were all written, we were even cast, we weren't shooting yet but I usually like to have the answers to those questions earlier."
Schaeffer continued, "The answer was yes because we wanted the show to have teeth. This is a show about a character who is classified as a villain. Also, there is something about witchcraft that if you remove death, those bigger stakes like that, it becomes soft, toothless, and inauthentic. So yeah, we kill someone."
Agatha All Along continues to air weekly on Disney Plus, though you might want to avoid the latest round of Funko Pop leaks – as they've revealed the true identities of two major characters.
