Agatha All Along: Who Is Nicholas Scratch’s Father?

Since his introduction in Agatha All Along, fans want to know who Nicholas Scratch’s father is. The series sheds light on the backstory of Nicholas, son of Agatha, and his brief time with his mother years ago. While he got a borrowed life to live, all thanks to Lady Death, his father’s identity remained unknown. However, the showrunners have recently disclosed details on Scratch’s father.

Here’s everything you need to know about Agatha’s husband and the father of her child.

Who is Nicholas Scratch’s Father in Agatha All Along?

Agatha Harkness and Rio Vidal, aka Green Witch, are the parents of Nicholas Scratch, according to showrunner Jac Schaeffer.

Recently, showrunner Schaeffer sat down with Backstory Magazine to discuss who the potential father of Nicholas Scratch, the son of Agatha, is. She jokingly recalled the casting moments wherein they spotted the kid and thought it looked like Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza). In short, she seemingly teased that fans might now catch the hint that Green Witch is a parent to Nicholas.

Further, she explained that they have no idea if people would care about Rio and Agatha’s story. However, the response to their chemistry and backstory turned out to be impressive. “I didn’t anticipate that the shippers would be so fervent. You never know how anything is going to land or if people are going to care. The amount of people that care is staggering to me. It’s my hope that in the MCU there’s more unpacking of the Agatha & Rio backstory,” she added. (via Comic Book Movie)

This subtle reveal that Rio Vidal is Nicholas Scratch’s other parent adds a new emotional layer to their familial dynamics and the witches’ relationship. In the Disney Plus series, Agatha stops in the woods as she experiences massive labor pain. As she is about to give birth to her baby, Lady Death comes and plans to take him away. It’s known that Nicholas Scratch wasn’t meant to live at all.

As Agatha begs and pleads, Lady Death spares her some time to live with her child. Agatha lures witches into forming covens and stealing their powers, becoming powerful to keep death at bay from her son. However, this doesn’t stop death from coming to her son. Once they are asleep, Lady Death summons Nicholas in the dark and takes him away.
