When fans learned thatWandaVision’sprimary villain, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) landed her own spin-off series, there’s no denying that we all thought “Oh, the music is going to be so good!” Not only can we expect the titular witch ofAgatha All Alongto have a few numbers of her own but it’s been confirmed that celebratedChristophe Beckis the man responsible for bringing music to our ears as the production’s composer. With a credit sheet as long as a CVS receipt, Beck is no stranger to Marvel as he previously scored theAnt-Mantrilogy.
This year alone, Beck has worked on numerous productions includingRoad House,Unfrosted, andThe Instigators. In the past, audiences have heard the musician’s handiwork on a slew of movies likeBring It On,Under the Tuscan Sun,Burlesque,Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and more. All theBuffy the Vampire Slayerstans out there have Beck to thank for some of the show’s most moving moments. The song that played at the end of Season 2 when Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was forced to send her beloved Angel (David Boreanaz) back to hell? A Beck original! And, if you’ve ever wondered who left perhaps the biggest mark on the classic musical episode,“One More, with Feeling”- also Beck!
With the news that Beck is the talent behind the score forAgatha All Along, we’re even more jazzed than we were before to tune in for the series when it arrives on Disney+ this September. Of course, there will also be plenty of tunes to come from Hahn’s bewitched babe as she’spreviously teaseda very sing-songy story awaits audiences. Plus, with the casting addition of Broadway legend, three-time Tony Award winner, and overall queen,Patti LuPone, the production would be foolish to not make things a little musical.
