It is hard to fathom that a few weeks ago, Stay2uned was in the room where it happened. We were invited by AMC to attend their back-to-back press junkets for the returning series Mayfair Witches and the new series Yaga.
Being in the room was, dare I say, spellbinding.
The Yaga junket—with the executive producers, showrunner, and talent all in attendance—was full of fresh details.
But first, here’s what we know so far about AMC’s new series of murder, magic, and mystery:
“The eight-episode series, based on Kat Sandler’s play (she also serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer), follows private investigator Rapp (Noah Reid) as he arrives in the coastal town of Whittock to investigate the disappearance of Henry Park (Hudson Williams). He clashes with local detective Carson (Clark Backo) and crosses paths with Katherine (Carrie-Anne Moss), a university professor drawn to the Baba Yaga legend, amid a web of suspects and ancient magic.”
With the premiere only two days away, we asked the showrunners why Yaga in particular made the transition from theatre to television.

It’s always fascinating to get a peek behind the scenes. We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did.
Catch Yaga, premiering October 23 exclusively on AMC+ in the US. The season will run until November 27th.
