The first two episodes of Yaga arrived on October 23, 2026, and the show quickly revealed that Hudson Williams is not playing just one missing heir. Henry Park is gone, but his lookalike roommate Logan Casey is very much present — until his body is found in the water.
Henry Park Vanishes From a Coastal Town
Henry Park, 22, is the heir to a powerful fishery business in the fictional town of Whittock. He disappeared after taking out $15,000 in cash, and his wealthy parents hired private detective Charlie Rapp to find him. Rapp arrives in Whittock and clashes with local detective Carson, who thinks Henry simply left town.
Hudson Williams Plays Both Henry and Logan
Williams plays Henry Park and Logan Casey, Henry’s roommate and lookalike. Logan is an original character created for the series and does not appear in Kat Sandler’s 2019 play. The show uses prosthetics to make Logan look different: he has acne scars, a more prominent nose, and wears glasses. Henry has blue eyes and smooth skin.
Sandler said the decision to split the role into two characters came before Williams became a breakout star on Heated Rivalry.
“We needed more suspects and a fuller town … and it just was a really amazing kismet that he was available and wanted to come and play in the woods with us.” — Kat Sandler, showrunner
Logan Casey Turns Up Dead in Episode 2
The second episode ends with Carson and Rapp finding Logan’s body face down in the water. Before that, a person who looked like Henry ran from Henry’s bedroom during a party, pushed Carson, and disappeared into Logan’s room. The show left open the question of whether the person was Henry or Logan.
“The resemblance between Henry and Logan, both portrayed by Hudson Williams, adds another layer of uncertainty.” — Show Snob recap
Rapp and Carson Work the Case
Noah Reid plays Charlie Rapp, and Clark Backo plays Detective Carson. Carrie-Anne Moss plays Katherine, a professor with ties to Henry. Sheila McCarthy plays Olena Yaha, a local woman connected to the town’s secrets. The cast also includes Ezra Franky, Patrick Gilmore, Georgia Acken, and Megan Follows.
McCarthy described the show’s tone in simple terms.
“It’s sort of Dexter with witches.” — Sheila McCarthy
