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 theDisneyPlus series.

“How much of this have you seen?” Sharon/Mrs. Hart actor Debra Jo Rupp askedTVLine, with the implication being that the batch of four episodes sent out to critics (inevitably) doesn’t cover the show’s full story – nor her character arc.

“So, you need to watch more,” Rupp said. “But yes, I’m very pleased with Sharon’s arc.”

However, that’s at odds withour own interviewwith Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer. The showrunner may be keeping spoilers close to her chest, but her answer felt far more definitive.

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.”
