WandaVision star Kathryn Hahn has confessed she “doesn’t understand” the success of the show’s original song “Agatha All Along”.
Hahn’s character in the hit Marvel series, who was originally introduced as the busy-bodying neighbour to Elisabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, was revealed in a February episode to truthfully be an ancient sorceress named Agatha Harkness.
To drive home the revelation, the show explained her elaborate evil plan via a theme song named “Agatha All Along”, which went viral on social media after the episode. It has since been released as an official track and topped the iTunes chart.
While appearing on Seth Meyers’s US talk show, Hahn said she was late to discover that the track had blown up as it did.
“I don’t understand it,” she explained. “It’s amazing. It’s so crazy. Seth, what’s happening?”

She continued: “I don’t have social media, so the whole thing was, like, filtered down through all this. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?!’ It’s so funny. Meanwhile, I’m outside scooping dog crap, scooping cat crap. The whole thing is so bonkers right now.”
Songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who composed “Agatha All Along” with her husband Bobby, revealed last month that the track’s catchiness stems from the fact that elements of its music had been sprinkled throughout the WandaVision series.
“If you are wondering why you were so ready for the last song, it’s because you were hearing the same song week after week,” Anderson-Lopez tweeted.
WandaVision concludes its season on Friday (5 March), with the show’s director Matt Shankman warning this week that some fans are likely to be “disappointed” by what happens in the finale.
