She explained, via Comicbook.com, “I wanted to stay in the WandaVision universe, because it felt like there were million stories still to tell. In everything I did it would be, like, ‘And then Agatha pops up!’ At some point Kevin said, ‘Should it just be an Agatha series?'”
Schaeffer shared her thoughts about when Wandavision’s home release extra clip was released on Disney+ via Comicbook.com. “I started talking to Marvel about developing something else. So, we had early conversations about ‘What could that be?’ and ‘Maybe it’s this property?’ Everything that I pitched included a storyline about Agatha. I remember Kevin saying to me, ‘We really should think about an actual Agatha show.’ And, I was like, where do I sign for that job?”
Kathryn Hahn (Bad Moms, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), the lead star of Agatha All Along, also shared her thoughts on the fans loving her character, Agatha Harkness, on the Wandavision home release clip via Comicbook. “We knew we had something special on our hands, but I think we were all flabbergasted by the reception,” Hahn laughed. “People were hungry for something that felt nostalgic and something that everybody could sit around and watch and wait for on Friday nights. Friday nights! Like, who stays home on Friday night and watches something with their family.” The entire cast list can be seen on Comicbook.com.
