Carrie‑Anne Moss and Hudson Williams lead new series Yaga
Yaga is an eight‑episode Canadian mystery‑thriller series that reimagines the Slavic folklore figure Baba Yaga as a dark, seductive story set in a small coastal town. Created by Kat Sandler, who adapted her 2019 play, the show is produced by Front Street Pictures, Blink49 Studios and Bell Media for the Crave streaming service.
The series stars Carrie‑Anne Moss as university professor Katherine, Hudson Williams as the missing heir Henry Park, Noah Reid as private investigator Rapp and Clark Backo as local detective Carson. The first teaser was revealed at San Diego Comic‑Con in late July 2026, and Yaga is slated to debut in October 2026 on AMC+ in the United States, Crave in Canada and Sky/NOW in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Filming took place in Victoria, British Columbia.
