A Magical Look at ‘Agatha All Along’: Kathryn Hahn and Jac Schaeffer Take Us on a New Journey
Who stole the show in WandaVision? You guessed it—Agatha Harkness! Now, she’s back to sprinkle some magic and mischief in Agatha All Along, premiering September 18 on Disney+ with a double feature! Emmy® Award nominee Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Westview’s fabulous witch—though this time, she’s feeling a little powerless. With the help of a mysterious goth teen (played by the charming Joe Locke), Agatha is set to venture down The Witches’ Road, a whimsical gauntlet of trials that will uncover their wildest desires.
Leading this enchanting escapade is Jac Schaeffer, the brilliant head writer of WandaVision. Schaeffer admits to an “unhealthy fixation” on Agatha, saying, “That experience was creatively fulfilling—it’s wholesome yet has an angsty twist!” While Wanda dealt with serious trauma, Agatha revels in her witchy pride, making this transition from WandaVision to Agatha All Along an exciting exploration of her character.
Schaeffer aims to capture the quirky magic that made WandaVision a hit. “Think of it as a puzzle-box show filled with mysteries, unexpected twists, and fun nods to classic films and TV!” But hold onto your broomsticks, because this time, things are getting darker. “We dive into horror elements that we haven’t really seen in the MCU,” she teases.
Hahn is all in for this darker yet delightful ride. “The Agatha I played in WandaVision had a unique vibe, and it was crucial to keep that while exploring new depths,” she shares. The plot revolves around Agatha’s hilarious struggle to form a coven—no small feat for a witch who got booted from her own back in 1693!
Stronger Together
At its core, Agatha All Along is all about community and connection. “Agatha is a witch without a coven who needs to create one,” Schaeffer explains. Joining her are a colorful cast of witches, each with their own quirks and magical abilities. “The story highlights the power of community. These characters are loners, and through working together, they’ll rediscover their inner strength!”
Hahn describes Agatha as a “twisted ringleader” at the start, exuding confidence even without her powers. “She has to project strength to these other witches,” she says, hinting at the amusing chaos that ensues among the coven members. Schaeffer adds that while there’s plenty of snark, a deep respect runs beneath it all.
As Agatha navigates this wacky adventure, she realizes her biggest hurdle is—wait for it—herself! “She’s always looking for shortcuts and instant gratification, which gets her into all sorts of trouble,” Schaeffer notes.
Just like its predecessor, Agatha All Along loves to play with practical effects. “Kevin Feige was really excited about the practical side of this project,” Schaeffer reveals. “Getting the green light for practical effects felt extra special!” Inspired by classic films like The Wizard of Oz and The Princess Bride, the team aimed to create a rich, tactile experience that feels real and magical.
Schaeffer reminisces about the magic of practical effects from her work on WandaVision. “Walking on the actual Witches’ Road brought so much depth to the cast’s performances,” she states. Hahn can’t wait for viewers to enjoy the show’s blend of humor, surprises, and genuine scares. “I’m ready for audiences to laugh, be shocked, and realize that true power comes from working together,” she says, reflecting on Agatha’s growth.
In the end, Agatha All Along promises a fantastical journey bursting with humor, heart, and a delightful sprinkle of witchcraft chaos. As Hahn puts it, “I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!” Get ready, because audiences are in for a magical treat as they dive back into the whimsical world of Agatha Harkness!
