Yaga’s first Comic-Con clip teases Hudson Williams’s eerie transformation
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
A first clip from Crave's forthcoming mystery thriller "Yaga" was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, giving audiences an early look at Hudson Williams in the series. The preview drew attention to Williams's altered blue-eyed appearance and to the show's deliberately eerie, sexualised tone, positioning the adaptation as a darker reimagining of Slavic folklore.
The series is adapted from showrunner Kat Sandler's play and follows private investigator Radd, played by Noah Reid, as he investigates a young fishery heir's disappearance in a coastal town. Williams plays the missing heir, Henry Park, alongside Clark Backo and Carrie-Anne Moss; although Williams did not attend the panel, he sent a recorded message describing filming as "wild" and enjoyable. An AMC+ trailer was posted online after the panel, where recording of the exclusive clip was prohibited, and no further coverage of the show has since emerged.
