YAGA
Have you heard of the myth of Baba Yaga? Coming soon to Sky and NOW.What is YAGA about?
In YAGA, private investigator Rapp arrives in a small coastal town on a mission to investigate the disappearance of Henry Park, the young heir to a powerful fishery.
However, once there, he finds himself at odds with the locals – including Carson, an apprehensive detective, and Katherine, a university professor who has a penchant for younger men.
As the list of suspects grows, so do the reveals as secret lives and ties to ancient magic leave Rapp second guessing everything he knows.
Originally created as a play by Kat Sandler in 2019, YAGA puts a new twist on the old myth of Baba Yaga – a witch-like woman from traditional Slavic folklore who resides in a house with chicken legs, deep within woodlands.
This mystery thriller is produced by Front Street Pictures and Blink49 Studios in partnership with Canadian TV network, Crave.
