The series comes from showrunner and writer Kat Sandler, who has adapted her own hit play. Yaga follows a private investigator, Rapp (The Vampire Lestat and Schitt’s Creek‘s Noah Reid), who shakes up a small coastal town when looking into the disappearance of local scion Henry Park (Williams, who, funnily enough, does look like Keanu Reeves a.k.a John Wick). Rapp butts heads with the local detective he ends up partnered with (Venom: The Last Dance‘s Clark Backo) and has sexy run-ins (we assume) with a hot professor with a penchant for younger men played by Carrie-Anne Moss (these Reeves/Wick connections keep writing themselves). That’s to say nothing of the “labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives, and ancient magic” Rapp is drawn into by the mythical Baba Yaga.

Like Heated Rivalry, Yaga is a Crave Original; it was acquired by AMC Global Media for distribution in the U.S. The show’s cast also includes Sheila McCarthy, Megan Follows, Ezra Franky, Patrick Gilmore, Katharine Isabelle, Hiro Kanagawa, Emilija Baranac, Georgia Acken Anisa Harris, and Sam Krochmal. The eight-episode half-hour drama premieres this October on AMC+.
