\n\tThings are getting witchy with the release of Crave and AMC+\u2019s upcoming series Yaga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series stars Carrie-Anne Moss<\/a>, Noah Reid, Clark Backo and Hudson Williams. Alanis Morissette soundtracks the two-minute trailer with a cover of \u201cSeason of the Witch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer, released Friday morning, kicks off with Backo\u2019s Carson, a local detective, and Reid\u2019s Rapp, a private investigator, looking into the disappearance of Henry Park (Williams). The trailer is full of spooky and steamy antics.<\/p>\n

\n\tYaga is based on a play by series creator Kat Sandler, who serves as the show\u2019s writer and showrunner, and reimagines the myth of Baba Yaga in a coastal town. Crave dubbed the series \u201cnot your grandmother\u2019s Baba Yaga\u201d in a recent Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe eight-episode, half-hour drama recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The first two episodes will debut on Oct. 23, followed by weekly debuts before a two-episode finale on Nov. 27.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show follows Rapp as he heads to a small coastal town to investigate the disappearance of Henry Park, the young heir to a powerful fishery. The show\u2019s synopsis reads, \u201c[Rapp] finds himself at odds with an apprehensive local detective, Carson (Backo), a charismatic university professor with a taste for younger men, Katherine (Moss) and a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives and ancient magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSadler said in an initial release that the series has evolved from \u201cmyth to stage\u201d to her first greenlit series, \u201creclaiming the wicked witch and reshaping her as an incendiary feminist antihero for our time. It reflects the kind of storytelling I love: propulsive, accessible, dark, funny and unapologetically bold.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSheila McCarthy, Megan Follows, Ezra Franky, Patrick Gilmore, Katharine Isabelle and Hiro Kanagawa also star in the series, along with Emilija Baranac, Georgia Acken, Anisa Harris and Sam Krochmal. Williams is also set to tackle a dual role in the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tYaga is produced by Front Street Pictures and Blink49 Studios. Along with Sandler, the executive producers are Mackenzie Donaldson, Andrew Miller and Moss. Charles Cooper serves as a producer. David Frazee and Rachel Talalay directed.<\/p>\n
