Jac Schaeffer knows how to make good TV. After directing and writing the criminally underrated 2009 sci-fi movie Timer, she made her showrunner debut with WandaVision. As Marvel’s first Disney+ original, it was the perfect entry into the televisual medium: a superhero story of grief and trauma projected through homages to classic television. Now, she’s repeating that success with Agatha All Along, the spinoff devoted to WandaVision fan-favorite Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) as she tries to regain her powers by traveling the Witches’ Road.
With two Marvel shows under her belt, Schaeffer has become an unlikely pillar of MCU TV — a development that was a big surprise to Schaeffer.
