Series creator Jac Schaeffer opened up about the show and explained Agatha as, “a character that was introduced as a walking lie. The show is in many ways a lie: It’s very theatrical, and so much is performative and about wearing masks and costumes. So at the top of episode 9, I loved to have Kathryn’s performance be so raw and unobserved.”
She also talked about the future of the show and its characters. Jac teased, “I still feel like there’s more road to explore with Agatha as a ghost. Get ready.”
