Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for the ending of Agatha All Along
It used to be that you could set your clock by the MCU's post-credits scenes, but times have changed. Starting a long time ago with Iron Man in 2008, Stingers became immediately and irresistibly synonymous with Marvel's tentpole franchise, and it was only Avengers: Endgame more than a decade later, the trend has been broken. Now, MCU post-credits scenes are no longer a guarantee, even when they seem inevitable.
In fact, almost all of Marvel's Phase 5 TV shows have avoided a post-credits scene, which has been particularly gratifying to the growing crowd of voices who don't find them entirely necessary. The MCU has entered a situation where too many stingers have set up vague future projects that aren't paying off, and - let's face it - we're all pretty impatient for a repeat of the Eternals post-credits, promising the arrival of Blade as his actual film sinks into development hell.
Despite this cynicism, you could have been forgiven for believing that Agatha all the time would include a post-credits scene, especially with Scarlet Witch's looming shadow looming over the place.

There is, without a doubt, a multiversal plane where Agatha all the timeThe post-credits scene returned to the ruins of Mount Wundagore and showed rubble levitating at the spot where Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff made her sacrifice, but that's not this universe, and we should be grateful. Doing so would have been cheap and unnecessary, and instead we all remain under the hopeful delusion that Scarlet Witch will return to the MCU somewhere in the future, without overshadowing. Agatha all the timeexcellent ending.
In place of any post-credits scene, Agatha all the time instead, it sets up what comes next with the ghost of Hahn's delightful antihero offering to become the "spirit guide" mentioned in the faux Ballad of the Witches Road to Joe Locke's Billy Maximoff. Instead of jumping into a big tease of the - so far non-existent - Scarlet Witch solo film, we get a tantalizing hook for whatever comes in its place. Agatha all the time season 2. If I were a gamer, I would suggest it would be a new version of Marvel's Avengers: The Children's Crusade.
