Back in August, Marvel’s head of TV, Brad Winderbaum, said regarding the episode,

"one of my favorite episodes ever done, and it may involve the giant musical number, and she's just incredible, and we all want to see more of her [Agatha]."

In January 2024, Marvel Studios shared several first-look images from two upcoming episodes of the third season of What If…? The pictures show one episode centering on the Red Guardian, which also features Bill Foster and Bucky Barnes.

Another episode is anime-inspired and features Avengers piloting mechs fighting Mega-Hulk monsters. The title of this episode has been revealed to be Go-Avengers: Heroes of the Gamma War, and it will feature Sam Wilson/Captain America, Shang-Chi, Black Widow, Moon Knight, and Monica Rambeau, among others.
