What Is Yaga About?
Private investigator Charlie Rapp, played by Noah Reid, arrives in a small coastal town to look into the disappearance of Henry Park, a young fisheries heir played by Hudson Williams. The case looks like a straightforward missing-person investigation at first, but the town keeps turning up stranger answers than questions. Every resident seems to know something, nobody tells the whole truth, and the trail keeps circling back to old stories about Baba Yaga, the witch of Slavic folklore who, in some tales, eats children and, in others, helps the hero.
The Cast to Know
Carrie-Anne Moss is the biggest name for most Indian viewers, known worldwide from The Matrix films, and here she plays a very different kind of commanding presence — an academic whose charm may be the most dangerous thing in town. Noah Reid anchors the series as Rapp, the outsider detective trying to hold a rational investigation together while the case slides into stranger territory.
How to Watch Yaga in India
Indian viewers can stream the series on Lionsgate Play, and the yaga where to watch plan for November is a weekly rollout rather than a full-season drop. The first four episodes arrive on Friday, 6 November 2026, giving you a solid opening chunk to get hooked. Episode five follows on 13 November, episode six on 20 November, and the final two episodes land together on 27 November 2026, closing the eight-episode season.
That staggered schedule is worth planning around. If you prefer to binge, you can simply wait until 27 November and watch all eight half-hour episodes — roughly four hours in total — in one go. If you like the weekly-discussion experience, starting on 6 November puts you in step with the rest of the Indian audience as each new episode drops. Either way, a Lionsgate Play subscription is what you need; the series is streaming there for Indian viewers, while viewers elsewhere watch it on Crave or AMC+.
Why This One Is Worth Your November Watchlist
Folk horror has had a strong run in recent years, but Yaga stands out because its horror grows out of character and place rather than spectacle. The Baba Yaga legend is not pasted on top of a crime show; it is woven into how the town thinks, what its people fear, and what they are willing to hide. That makes the scares feel earned and the mystery feel deeper than a simple whodunit.
