The Kat Sandler adaptation marks Crave’s first original half-hour drama, arriving as the first project announced under its new Blink49 collaboration.

Overview

  • Production is underway on the eight-episode series from Front Street Pictures, Blink49 and producer Charles Cooper.
  • Created and showrun by Kat Sandler, the series adapts her play to reimagine the Baba Yaga myth as a contemporary mystery thriller.
  • Noah Reid plays private investigator Rapp, who probes the disappearance of fishery heir Henry Park, portrayed by Hudson Williams, in a small coastal town.
  • Carrie-Anne Moss appears as Katherine, a charismatic professor, while Clark Backo plays Carson, a cautious local detective opposing the inquiry.
  • Sphere Abacus will handle global sales with a four one-hour export option, and the title will be shopped at the London TV Screenings as the first publicly revealed project since Bell Media’s investment in Blink49.
