. with only her hair covering her breasts. 'Well, I came up with it.
I thought it was good to see her as stripped down, literally, as we possibly could, which spoke into her powerlessness at the present moment,' Hahn says. 'She’s been stripped of all of her power at this point in the series. I mean, she really had nothing at that point, and so it became about illustrating that gap between that moment and her finding her power again,' Hahn explained.
The nude scene was actually not scripted either, with Agatha scripted as grabbing a robe before heading outside...
though showrunner Jac Schaeffer revealed that Hahn had another idea. 'Kathryn was like, "Would she grab the robe? I don’t feel like she would grab the robe. I feel like she would really not care about being naked in front of the neighbors,"' Schaeffer said.
'I told her, "That is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard." Kathryn has done so much work, and she’s done a lot of nudity and other things, and so it also felt very subversive to get Kathryn Hahn’s nudity into the MCU,' Schaeffer said.

Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal, a powerful witch who joins Agatha's coven. It remains to be seen how Agatha All Along will tie into future MCU TV shows and movies down the line.
