YAGA, the spooky Canadian thriller starring Heated Rivalry favourite Hudson Williams, is in full swing.
A modern retelling of the Slavic folklore Baba Yaga from the mind of Kat Sandler, the series revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Henry Park (Williams), a heir to a fishery business, in a small coastal town.
Creator Sandler, who first wrote YAGA as a play before bringing it to screens, previously revealed that Hudson helped shape a number of the characters, and that he made the series “unexpected, bolder and sexier”.
Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, she said of the actor: “He really created these characters.”
She added: “Henry is very different in the play, and there’s only him, but we had already created this additional character in the play. Three actors portray all the parts. There’s one male actor, and he plays Henry and Rapp [played in the series by Reid], and so it was nice to have a little nod to that in Hudson’s portrayal of two characters.
“I think Hudson was just really excited to get to dig into playing two distinct characters, and he brought his beautiful cinephile hardworking actor self to it.
Alongside Williams, the likes of Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid and Clark Backo also star.
