Adapted from Kat Sandler’s acclaimed stage play, Yaga reimagines the legend of Baba Yaga as a contemporary mystery thriller. The investigation centers on the disappearance of Henry Park, the young heir to a powerful fishing business. This prompts private investigator Rapp to travel to a small coastal town in search of answers.

The series stars Reid as Rapp, Hudson Williams as Henry Park, Backo as Carson, and Carrie-Anne Moss as Katherine. The supporting cast includes Sheila McCarthy, Megan Follows, Ezra Franky, Patrick Gilmore, Katharine Isabelle, Hiro Kanagawa, Emilija Baranac, Georgia Acken, Anisa Harris, and Sam Krochmal.
Yaga is created, written, and executive-produced by Sandler. David Frazee and Rachel Talalay direct the series. Meanwhile, Mackenzie Donaldson, Andrew Miller, and Carrie-Anne Moss also serve as executive producers. Produced by Blink49 Studios and Front Street Pictures for Bell Media, the eight-episode series debuts on AMC+ in the U.S. in October 2026.
