Kathryn Hahn’s Answer To Agatha All Along Season 2 Question Has Me Gathering All My Marvel Spellbooks And Potions

by

Initially seen as a modestly expected limited series by executives, Marvel’s “Agatha All Along” captivated comic fans, including myself, who yearn for horror tales within the MCU. To my amazement, the studio opted against submitting the witchy series in the Limited Series category during awards consideration, a move that aligned with Disney+’s transition to its “Season 1” labeling. Recently, even Kathryn Hahn herself expressed optimism about a potential Season 2, fueling my excitement.

At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Kathryn Hahn expressed hope to TVLine during a red carpet interview that Agatha and Wiccan could team up for a future Marvel TV series. Although it seems unlikely for such a collaboration to materialize among the anticipated 2025 TV premieres, Hahn is willing to wait indefinitely if it means more episodes are produced. Here’s what she said when asked about reprising her wickedly charming role:

Am I personally done with playing this witch? No.

Those words might deserve explosions of violet fireworks everywhere, but they should be viewed with caution, given that Hahn herself doesn’t hold the power to decide Agatha All Along‘s future. It’s worth noting that she later provided a clarification on her initial statement.

We’d have to let the powers that be make those decisions.

If the enthusiastic response from the Agatha All Along audience hadn’t been so intense regarding the show’s thematic changes, mysteries, LGBTQ+ representation, acting, and more, I might not comprehend why Kevin Feige & Co. could be reluctant to renew a series like this, given it was my top pick for 2024 TV. (Perhaps he didn’t receive my fan letters.) However, the show did prove to be successful, in part due to a talented creative team that managed to deliver high-quality work within a budget more constrained than other Marvel blockbusters.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m optimistic about the budget-friendly nature of “Agatha All Along.” With the current financial constraints in Hollywood, especially regarding TV production costs, I hope this modest investment will be seen as an advantage rather than a disadvantage by producers and studio executives. This way, they can swiftly proceed with greenlighting Season 2 without any hesitation.

It seems unlikely that they had high hopes for Kathryn Hahn winning a Golden Globe this year since she and other nominees were beaten by Jean Smart from ‘Hacks’ in the Comedy/Musical category. If you missed the event, our live blog has got you covered. As for the Marvel Cinematic Universe not being a regular awards darling, it’s doubtful that failing to win one or two Globes will mean the end of the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania franchise.

I certainly don’t want this to happen, but it might be amusingly ironic if Kathy Hahn were to play Agatha Harkness again, not in a new season of the MCU series, but instead in a cheesy (or cheesy chip) Super Bowl commercial. I’m just musing here, and I don’t want my thoughts to be misconstrued as trying to make it happen or put a hex on it. So let’s move past this idea as if it never crossed my mind.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Wanda Maximoff’s former adversary, Kathryn Hahn is set to star alongside Seth Rogen and other big names in the Apple TV+’s comedy series titled “The Studio”, premiering on March 26. Meanwhile, you can already stream all nine episodes of “Agatha All Along” with a Disney+ subscription while waiting for her new role.
