Based on the play by showrunner and writer Kat Sandler, the supernatural horror series Yaga follows private investigator Charlie Rapp (Noah Reid), who is sent to the small coastal town of Whittock, British Columbia, to look into the disappearance of college student Henry Park (Hudson Williams), a billionaire heir to a fishing empire. There he partners with Carson (Clark Backo), a smart local detective who at first thinks Henry is just a privileged kid off having fun. Their investigations lead them to the charismatic and calculating university professor Katherine (Carrie-Anne Moss), who has a taste for younger men, as well as the mysteries surrounding Henry and his lookalike roommate, Logan (also Williams), and a series of suspicious characters, hidden secrets, and ancient magic.

Recently, Sam Krochmal spoke with SciFi Vision about playing the character of police officer Billy in the series. Krochmal recalled why the role felt so personally familiar from the audition, his research into the original play and the legend, and his effort to avoid making Billy a stereotypical police officer or comic device. He also discussed learning from fellow cast members, the differences between stage and screen performances, viewers' theories about Logan and Henry, and the kinds of roles he would like to tackle next.

New episodes of Yaga premiere Fridays on AMC+.
