As a seasoned gamer with an unquenchable thirst for all things Marvel and Disney+, I must say the latest revelation about Agatha All Along has me both intrigued and perplexed. The possibility of Aubrey Plaza’s character, Rio, being Nicholas Scratch’s father (or rather mother in this case) is a tantalizing twist that had me doing a double-take at my screen.
Although it’s yet undecided if “Agatha All Along” season 2 will be included in the upcoming Marvel TV lineup, the captivating Disney+ series has certainly laid enough clues and storylines to warrant a return visit to Westview, perhaps even solely to pursue Tommy Maximoff outside of the city. For example, viewers are eager to discover whether Agatha’s son Nicholas Scratch will adopt his comic book character’s darker narrative, and also uncover the identity of his father.
It’s worth noting that Jac Schaeffer, the showrunner for AAA, has hinted that the creative team had a specific character in mind for Nicky’s parent, and it aligns with the fan theories that emerged when questions about Nicky’s fate were raised in the premiere. This character is Aubrey Plaza’s Rio, also known as Death among close friends.
It’s important to note that this theory about Nicholas Scratch isn’t officially confirmed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, but it’s the closest speculation we have for now. In an interview with Backstory Magazine, when asked about the popular fan theory suggesting Nicholas Scratch as Agatha and Rio’s love child, Schaeffer gave a fascinating response.
As a gamer involved in the creative process, I can confirm that we tackled various possibilities regarding Nicky’s paternity. In the end, for the narrative we were crafting to suit Agatha’s tale, it didn’t seem essential to unravel this mystery. We purposefully avoided delving into the intricacies of whether it was a magical conception or not, focusing more on establishing rules for our world. One theory that crossed our minds was Rio being Nicky’s father. I find myself pondering if this theory still resonates with the writers, so perhaps I should inquire about their thoughts on the matter.
I was quite surprised by the straightforward and honest explanation provided by the creative team behind “Agatha All Along” regarding Nicholas Scratch’s biological origins. Shortly after giving birth, Kathryn Hahn’s character hinted at a natural conception without the use of magic, suggesting either an immaculate conception or another unexplained scenario.

While it might appear that some mystical or supernatural means would be necessary for the original Green Witch, Death, to conceive a child, I must admit my understanding is quite limited on how this could occur, even with magic involved. Given the context, this speculative information makes it easier for me to accept Nicholas Scratch’s background without raising too many questions.
Jac Schaeffer continued, pointing out that nothing is MCU-canonical yet:
As a gamer, I’ve pondered this topic quite a bit, letting my imagination run wild. I appreciate the freedom it offers for individual interpretation. To be honest, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and I don’t think it’s fair or beneficial for me as the creator to force-feed you facts that aren’t explicitly shown on screen. Instead, let your own thoughts and theories about the MCU unfold!
Fundamentally, the interpretation is left to the audience, and what constitutes ‘parentage’ can be subjective. However, the showrunner remains hopeful that the dual-mother narrative could one day be universally accepted as fact in Agatha’s tale. She concluded by saying:
I’m optimistic that these stories will carry on, leading to a potential future instalment that may shed light on this topic. However, during the casting process, we found ourselves asking questions like, “Does this child resemble Rio?” or “Does this actress remind us of Aubrey Plaza?” So, it’s clear that our thoughts are being perceived by the audience.
After the finale of Agatha All Along, fans flocked to social media and reddit, making posts that drew parallels between Abel Lysenko, who played Nicky, and Aubrey Plaza. They noticed resemblances in their eyes, smiles, and various facial expressions. If the showrunner had given a different explanation for this mystery, I’d guess there would have been protests on city streets; or perhaps demonstrations through forest trails instead.
Having Death as Nicholas Scratch’s other parent would undeniably explain some of the emotions and actions displayed by Plaza’s character throughout the season. From a tender empathy towards Agatha to her portrayal of Nicholas as a Green Witch rather than her usual Reaper form, she seemed genuinely concerned about the child. I believe her maternal instinct is what motivated these actions.
You can watch the entirety of “Agatha All Along” with a Disney+ subscription, not forgetting the various other new titles available. We’re eagerly awaiting news about whether the series might be renewed for a second season.
