A woman wearing no makeup and a slightly messy ponytail drives down a foggy, tree-lined suburban road to a crime scene, humming to herself. Wearing a bulky black winter jacket layered over another dark jacket and jeans, she walks with her co-worker (played by David A. Payton) through a forest.
“Jane Doe,” he says. “Found her down here by the wooder.”
You’d think the HBO series “Mare of Easttown” is back. Only, the woman isn’t Kate Winslet and this Delco accent doesn’t belong to Marianne “Mare” Sheehan, the Easttown, Pa., detective sergeant.
This is the trailer for Marvel Television’s “WandaVision” spinoff, “Agatha All Along.” Picking up from where “WandaVision” ended with Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) cursing her neighbor Agnes (Hahn) to live out her life as a nosy suburban resident trapped in Westview, N.J.
Each episode of “WandaVision” is a parody-homage to other TV shows, and the trailer’s “Mare” impersonation — complete with the accents — is proof that “Agatha” will play along in that style. Even before the characters give it away with their accents, the trailer’s subdued color palette with its grays, dark blues and blacks is a direct callback to “Mare’s” dreariness.
