Yaga starring Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams receives release date and sneak-peek – WATCH HERE

Upcoming witchy thriller Yaga, starring Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams, has received its long-anticipated release date alongside a new sneak peek.

The US release date is confirmed for 23 October 2026 on AMC+, with the series scheduled to arrive on Sky in the UK at some point in October.

Yaga will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 17 September, with an exclusive-content panel following at New York Comic Con on 9 October.

What is Yaga about?

The plot follows Williams as Henry Park, the missing heir to a powerful family fishery business. His mysterious disappearance sets the main plot of the series in motion.

The Canadian actor stars alongside Noah Reid, who plays Rapp, a private investigator investigating Henry’s disappearance. Rapp soon finds himself at odds with an uneasy local detective, Carson (Clark Backo).

Carrie-Anne Moss plays Katherine, a charismatic university professor with a taste for younger men, while Sheila McCarthy stars as Olena Yaha, a mysterious local woman who uncovers the secrets hidden within the small coastal town.

The AMC+ sneak peek follows a new trailer released by Sky in July, introducing fans to certain character dynamics.

Williams’ character dynamic with Moss is shown in graphic detail, with the pair kissing and pleasuring one another.

The eight-part mystical thriller is a Crave Original series, the same streamer that first released Williams’ breakout series, Heated Rivalry.
