Overview
- Crave confirmed on Thursday that Hudson Williams will portray two characters, Henry and Logan, in the half-hour mystery-thriller series Yaga.
- The television adaptation departs from Kat Sandler’s stage directions that paired the investigator and the heir as one actor by casting Noah Reid as the private investigator Rapp and giving Williams two distinct parts, with Henry’s surname changed and Logan apparently created for the screen.
- Yaga is written and showrun by Kat Sandler, co-directed by David Frazee and Rachel Talalay, and produced by Front Street Pictures and Blink49 Studios.
- The series stars Noah Reid, Carrie-Anne Moss, Clark Backo and Williams with a broader ensemble that includes Sheila McCarthy and Katharine Isabelle, and it will stream in October on Crave in Canada and on AMC+ in the U.S.
- Sandler has described the project as a reclamation of the Baba Yaga myth that blends dark humor, feminist reimagining and supernatural mystery, and Williams’s doubling is likely to shape how the show handles identity and folklore without revealing plot details.
