Marvel Studios’WandaVisionhas been massively popular on Disney Plus, with the five episodes it has aired so far. With only four episodes of the season to go,WandaVisionshowrunner Jac Schaeffer answers questions about Easter Eggs, writing, and the possibility of a season two.
When asked whether there will be a season two ofWandaVisionduring an interview with The AV Club, Jac Schaeffer laughs and says, “I wish I could answer that. I cannot. It is just my hope that people continue to watch and enjoy the season that we’ve got.” This level of secrecy is common with Marvel properties, but especially not surprising when it comes toWandaVision.It’s been confirmed that the show is setting upDoctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, so both the outcomes of the show itself and what happens in theDoctor Strangemovie will contribute to the possibility of a second season.

WandaVisionhas beenfull of hints and Easter Eggs so far, and Schaffer says that the way that these things come to be in the show is “an interesting process.” “I mean there’s plenty that’s on the page right, so like the commercials, it says Hydrasoak, like in the text, and there’s the tagline and everything,” she explains. “But that is long before the director is involved, and then certainly before the department heads are involved, and all of those people bring like an extra layer of spice. Specifically with props, and also with wardrobe and production design.” Schaeffer says that all the craftspeople know the entirety of the story and what they are doing with the show, which allows for them to add “all this additional texture.”
WandaVisionisn’t the only Marvel project that Schaeffer has worked on. She has also worked onCaptain Marvelandon the upcomingBlack Widowmovie. When asked what she likes about working on female superhero projects, she says, “I like writing women…and I also like writing an allegory. That for me is what it means to write a female superhero, is that I’m writing women first, and then there are all of these crazy layers of science fiction and fantasy and social commentary, and it’s all so outsized, and it actually makes it kind of easier to examine the issues that interest me.”
WandaVisionis certainly full of interesting female characters, between Wanda herself, Darcy Lewis, Monica Rambeau, and evenWestview neighbors Agnes and Dottie. Each of these characters are a different piece of the puzzle that isWandaVision. There are many possibilities for their roles to develop throughout the rest of season one, and, maybe one day, a season two.
