The supernatural mystery series provides a new take on Baba Yaga, who is a witch in Slavic folklore. Noah Reid (Schitt's Creek) plays a private investigator named Rapp, who looks into the disappearance of Henry Park, the heir to a powerful fishery, played by Hudson Williams (Heated Rivalry). Clark Backo (Letterkenny) is a local detective in conflict with Rapp, while Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) portrays a charismatic university professor. During Yaga's San Diego Comic-Con panel, it was announced that Yaga will debut on Crave in October, and a trailer was released as well. The footage opens with Moss narrating about how there are versions of "her" across the globe, including a witch living in a disappearing hut on chicken feet, a wise woman, an enchantress, a healer. This is followed by a fast-cutting montage that ends with Olena Yaha (Sheila McCarthy) saying the words, "Baba Yaga." Check out the trailer below: Yaga was originally a three-person stage play written by Kat Sandler, who reimagined the mythical figure for the modern day. She adapted the story for television, serving as showrunner and an executive producer. At the panel, she spoke about how the series format allowed her to expand on the source material and introduce new elements, including changes from the play so there will be surprises in store for all audiences.
