‘Maggie’ star Rebecca Rittenhouse channels a psychic who’s less ‘odd and kooky’
Hulu comedy “Maggie” — premiering Wednesday, July 6 — Maggie (Rebecca Rittenhouse, “Four Weddings and a Funeral”) is a psychic who can see into the future of her friends, parents, random people and clients who seek out her psychic services. Needless to say, this complicates her dating life, especially when she sees her own future and that of a complete stranger overlapping.Rittenhouse, 33, answered some questions about “Maggie” for The Post via e-mail. The idea of playing a psychic seemed kind of fun, but honestly, it’s less interesting to me than telling this relatively straightforward story about the balancing act between trying to do everything right/trying to control all the variables in life and recognizing that we miss the experience of life if we can’t just be in it — mistakes and all.I talked to my family friend who is a psychic and reads tarot [cards], but honestly, Maggie being psychic isn’t what the show is really about.
