Fingers crossed, Jac Schaeffer is a name we'll be hearing a lot more about in the years to come. Most recently, the writer, producer, and director was the creative force behind Marvel Studios' Emmy-winning Disney+ series WandaVision, which introduced viewers to the covenless witch Agatha Harkness, played deliciously by Kathryn Hahn. The series rocked the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expanding on witches within the MCU, and gave Schaeffer an opening for yet another self-contained series, Agatha All Along, that both stands on its own and complements the larger narrative.
Following the events of WandaVision, Agatha remains trapped in Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) spell, keeping her subdued as the nosy neighbor, Agnes, in Westview. However, while Agatha may have served as the antagonist in Wanda's show, Hahn is the head honcho in Agatha All Along. She assembles a new coven (though things didn't quite work out for her previous one) and starts off down the Witches' Road in search of what she's missing.
With the first two episodes of Agatha All Along premiering on Disney+ on September 18, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Schaeffer for a spoiler-free conversation about the real-life magic behind the upcoming series.
