After a year without any development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 2021 is poised to deliver and the first one up is WandaVision.

The Disney+ series follows Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch in the comics, and Paul Bettany's the Vision, who you might remember is extremely dead after Avengers: Infinity War. The upcoming series finds the two of them living an idyllic small town life. Seemingly.

In truth, there's a whole lot we don't know about WandaVision. It's doing some funky stuff with classic television genres. Trailers have hinted at forays into deep TV history, with scenes and moments riffing on the likes of I Love Lucy, The Brady Bunch, and Married... with Children.

Whatever the series may be set to deliver, it'll be happening soon. Reviews haven't started appearing yet, but critics who have seen the series' first three episodes — Disney+ will release new ones weekly, just like it does with The Mandalorian — are already bringing good news.

With less than a week to go before the series premieres with two episodes to kick things off, it sure sounds like you can start getting excited.

Tune in to watch the first episodes of WandaVision on Disney+ starting Jan. 15.
