Kathryn Hahn Reveals How Much ‘Agatha All Along’ Has Changed During Production: ‘The Difference Was Minimal'”

Share:

Despite numerous title changes, it seems that Agatha All Along has finally settled on a name, though we wouldn’t be surprised if the title evolved further. Regardless, the series is one of the most eagerly awaited MCU shows in recent times, and according to Rotten Tomatoes, it tops the list of anticipated releases this month.

The show will premiere on Disney+ with two episodes on September 18, 2024, followed by the remaining seven episodes airing weekly until November 6. Kathryn Hahn will return to her WandaVision role as Agatha Harkness, this time as the central character in her own series.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Hahn shared intriguing insights about her career and the forthcoming series, which we’ll delve into in this article.

As mentioned, the Rolling Stone interview was quite revealing, with Kathryn Hahn sharing many intriguing details. In this report, we’ll focus on the changes that occurred during production. Hahn was asked to discuss how much the series evolved over the course of its development, and we’ll delve into her insights on this topic.

Was there any challenge in coming back to Agatha and making sure she matched up after a couple years’ break? Anything special you had to do to get there?

What if I was like, “I had to sing ‘Agatha All Along’ for my kids while they’re held hostage on the couch, seven times backwards. Each time in a different language. And then eat eye of newt.” [Laughs.] Weirdly, I didn’t feel the need to match her perfectly because she’s already baked in there.

How much did the essence of this show change along the way?

These two shows were such living, breathing organisms. I had a movement teacher, the incredible Wesley Fata, who would say to us, “Champions adjust.” And that became a catchphrase between all of us — you always had to be very flexible, because it really did shift. And so you couldn’t even hold onto something very tightly. But I knew that the base arc, the important stuff, the emotional goal posts, were firmly in place. So the difference between reading it on the page and seeing it almost two years later was so minimal.

What kind of discussions did you have with Jac about your wishlist for this character?

Our wishes aligned. I wanted [Agatha] to not lose her acerbic nastiness. I wanted to actually see what lies beneath that weird, hard, mean shell. And also to have some music, keep the camp up. All the costume changes, all the stuff that I really loved about WandaVision, the element of performance in her — she really is a great old-school actor who loves putting on the ritz. I wanted that to be part of her still.
