Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness will apparently reach some surprising emotional depths in her upcomingDisney Plus streaming series Agatha All Along, with Marvel’s Head of Television, Streaming, and Animation producer Brad Winderbaum saying that the show will leave viewers “crying”, also warning that there will be some genuine scares in store.
“Agatha is really fun, but it’s really scary. And it gets quite dramatic,” Winderbaum says on the latest episode ofThe Official Marvel Podcast. “She’s an amazing anti-hero, and that show… it lures you in with the fun of Halloween, and before you know it, you’re crying. I’ll put it to you that way.”
“It’s a Marvel brand of scary. It’s a Halloween show. There are deadly stakes in this series. It’s a fun ride, but a dangerous one,” he concludes.
TheWerewolf By Nightspecial didn’t skimp on scares or “deadly stakes”, bloodily slaying its share of characters in its hour-long runtime. But it also delivered on the ‘Marvel’ of it all with a fantastically portrayed version of Man-Thing, the creepy, plantlike monster of classic ’70s comics.
Agatha All Along is itself a spin-off from Marvel’s firstDisneyPlus MCU streaming seriesWandaVision, which took a bit of a swing with its own Halloween episode, before landing its big reveal that it was, well… Agatha all along.
And givenAgatha Harkness' comic book history, which involves having to fight off her own monstrous, demonic grandchildren and also babysitting the kids of the Fantastic Four, there’s plenty of weirdness and surprisingly stark emotional depth for her own series to pull from.
