Although initially a restricted collection that execs maybe didn’t anticipate large issues from, Marvel’s Agatha All Alongside gained over comedian followers like myself who’ve been anticipating extra horror narratives within the MCU. Regardless of such reputation, I used to be as shocked as anybody when the studio bypassed the Restricted Collection class when submitting the witchy collection for awards consideration, which coincided with Disney+’s shift to its “Season 1” classification. Now Kathryn Hahn herself chimed in with some Season 2 positivity, and my optimism is thru the roof.
Whereas in attendance for the 82nd annual Golden Globe telecast, Kathryn Hahn spoke to TVLine on the pink carpet and stored desires alive for an Agatha and Wiccan team-up to hitch the listing of upcoming Marvel TV reveals, even when it already doesn’t appear real looking for it to be amongst different 2025 TV premieres. (I’m all the way down to be affected person roughly till perpetually ends if it means extra eps get made.) Right here’s how she responded when requested about reprising her deliciously devious position:
Am I personally executed with enjoying this witch? No.
These phrases alone are worthy of purple fireworks going off everywhere, however they completely ought to be taken with a grain of salt (and a watch of newt), contemplating Hahn herself is just not truly answerable for making selections about Agatha All Alongside’s future. And to her credit score, she did comply with up that preliminary response with this clarification:
We’d must let the powers that be make these selections.
Had the Agatha All Alongside fanbase not reacted so strongly to the present’s tonal shifts, its mysteries, its LGBTQ+ illustration, its performances and extra, then possibly I’d perceive why Kevin Feige & Co. could be hesitant to resume a collection like this simply because it was my favourite factor about 2024 TV. (Perhaps he didn’t even get my fan mail.) However it was undoubtedly a success, thanks partly to a artistic workforce that labored inside a restricted price range in comparison with different blockbuster Marvel efforts.
With all of the belt-tightening round Hollywood by means of TV value tags, Agatha All Alongside‘s modest prices will hopefully be seen in probably the most optimistic mild possible, in order that any and all producers and studio execs concerned can confidently go ahead with ordering up Season 2 as quickly as doable.
Hopefully they weren’t banking on Kathryn Hahn becoming a member of the listing of this yr’s Golden Globe winners, as she and different nominees misplaced out to Hacks‘ Jean Good within the Comedy/Musical class. (Try our dwell weblog of the occasion in the event you missed it.) It isn’t just like the MCU has been a significant awards magnet, although, so I can not think about not taking residence one or two Globes will likely be AAA‘s demise knell.
Whereas I completely DO NOT hope that is the case, it would be humorous in a rudely cosmic means if Hahn did find yourself reprising Agatha Harkness within the close to future, however for a cornball (or corn chip) Tremendous Bowl add as an alternative of one other season of the MCU collection. I’m not attempting to want or incant that into the universe, although, so let’s faux I didn’t say it within the first place.
Although we’re not but positive what’ll occur subsequent with Wanda Maximoff’s former foe, Kathryn Hahn herself will quickly be seen reverse Seth Rogen and a ton of well-known faces in Apple TV+’s Hollywood-skewing comedy The Studio, which debuts on March 26. And whereas ready for that, all 9 episodes of Agatha All Alongside can be found to stream with a Disney+ subscription.
