Overview
- The first teaser for Yaga premiered at San Diego Comic‑Con on Saturday and was posted online soon after, drawing attention for explicit sexual and horror imagery and a provocative Carrie‑Anne Moss voiceover.
- Yaga is a TV adaptation of Kat Sandler’s play with Sandler as showrunner and will be eight half‑hour episodes that begin streaming in October, with Crave as the Canadian home and AMC+ carrying the series in the U.S.
- The cast includes Carrie‑Anne Moss as Professor Katherine, Noah Reid as private investigator Rapp, Clark Backo as Detective Carson, and Hudson Williams as Henry Park, with Williams appearing via a recorded message rather than in person at the panel.
- The series was shot in and around Victoria, B.C., is produced by Blink49 and Front Street in partnership with Crave, and is co‑directed by David Frazee and Rachel Talalay with global distribution handled by Sphere Abacus.
- Creators describe Yaga as a feminist, revenge‑tinged reimagining that blends detective procedural beats with erotic horror, an uncommon half‑hour thriller format that Crave is using to build high‑profile fall programming and festival interest.
