Kathryn Hahn Discusses When She Realized Agatha Would Get Her Own Standalone Series

The show’s title has shifted multiple times, making us question if the current one will stick until the premiere. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most anticipated MCU series, and is set to be the most awaited September debut among all TV shows. We’re talking about Agatha All Along, which will launch on Disney+ with two episodes on September 18, 2024, followed by the remaining seven episodes airing weekly until November 6.

Kathryn Hahn is set to reprise her role as Agatha Harkness in the series. While fans speculate about additional appearances, we’re taking a look back to uncover when Hahn first learned that her supporting character would be getting her own show.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Hahn shared insights about her career and the upcoming series, providing some intriguing details that we’ll explore in this article.

As mentioned, the Rolling Stone interview was quite revealing, with Kathryn Hahn sharing numerous intriguing details. In this report, we’ll focus specifically on how and when Hahn learned that Agatha would be getting her own solo show:

What was your first hint that Agatha All Along might be a show?

I remember [WandaVision head writer and Agatha showrunner] Jac Schaeffer, saying, “God, I’d love to write for you again.” We both kept saying, “we have unfinished business” to each other at the end of WandaVision. I didn’t know if it necessarily meant something in this world or somewhere else, but our minds melded. I loved her point of view and her sense of humor. And this character just felt very easy.

Then over the summer, when I was in Serbia shooting Glass Onion, the Knives Out movie, I got a call from [Marvel Studios co-president] Louis D’Esposito saying, “How’d you like your own Marvel show?” — a call you never get. My heart was pounding. I could barely understand what he was saying.

I knew what it meant, but I just kept finding ways to minimize it for myself until the first day of shooting. Someone had put a sign on the window in my trailer that said, “welcome to your first day on your very own Marvel show” and I burst into tears. It was very, just very exciting, especially with a character that you just love and just want to explore every nook and cranny.
