\n\tFans got a sneak peek at Hudson Williams\u2019 starring role in \u201cYaga<\/a>\u201d on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\n\tA clip from Crave\u2019s upcoming mystery thriller was shown during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, featuring series cast members Noah Reid (\u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d), Clark Backo (\u201cVenom: The Last Dance,\u201d \u201cLetterkenny\u201d), Carrie-Anne Moss (\u201cMemento\u201d) and showrunner and executive producer Kat Sandler.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecording wasn\u2019t allowed for the exclusive SDCC<\/a> clip, but AMC+ posted a trailer<\/a> to Instagram shortly after the panel. The video begins with a voice-over of Moss\u2019s character Katherine eerily describing the many facets of Baby Yaga, the witchy figure from Slavic folklore off which the show, and the original play, was based.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSometimes she kills him, sometimes she eats him, sometimes she fucks him,\u201d she says of Baby Yaga and her victims. The video then cuts to a fast-paced montage of spooky and horny clips, including one of Williams, with his hand in his pants, sensually touching himself.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Williams wasn\u2019t in attendance, he recorded a video message for the packed room. \u201cI wish I could be there with you today, and that beautiful cast and crew that I love so much,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve also never been to Comic-Con so I\u2019d really love to be there!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe show was a blast,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was a wild one to film, and I just hope you guys love it as much as I had fun filming it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYaga,\u201d based on Sandler\u2019s hit play, reimagines the myth of\u00a0Baba Yaga and centers on Radd (Reid), a private investigator who arrives in a small coastal town to investigate the disappearance of a young heir to a powerful fishery, Henry Park (Williams). He finds himself at odds with an apprehensive local detective, Carson (Clark Backo), a charismatic university professor with a taste for younger men, Katherine (Carrie-Anne Moss) and a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am the smartest showrunner in the world,\u201d Sandler said about snagging Williams for the show after his breakout success in \u201cHeated Rivalry.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re very lucky that he wanted to come play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou\u2019ll get to see another side of Hudson\u2019s acting capabilities,\u201d Reid added. \u201cIt\u2019s a wild performance. He\u2019s got blue eyes, which everyone\u2019s been commenting on. It\u2019s like \u2018Oh that\u2019s kind of scary hot.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
