The new series “Yaga,” now streaming on AMC+, offers a fresh take on the witch-themed murder mystery genre. Adapted from Kat Sandler’s play, the show reimagines the Baba Yaga folklore within a contemporary police procedural framework set in a coastal town. Sandler, who serves as the writer, showrunner, and executive producer, crafts a story that blends supernatural elements with crime investigation.

Noah Reid stars as Rapp, a private investigator who partners with a local police detective played by Clark Backo to investigate the disappearance of Henry Park (portrayed by Hudson Williams). Henry is the rebellious heir of a wealthy family, and their inquiry becomes increasingly complex as they encounter his housemate, also played by Hudson Williams, and various enigmatic women in the town, including a university professor portrayed by Carrie-Anne Moss. New episodes of “Yaga” are released on Fridays, with the two-part season finale scheduled for November 27.

Reid’s role in “Yaga” complements his recent appearances, such as his performance in the third season of “Interview with a Vampire,” now available on AMC+ and Prime Video. In this series, Sam Reid stars as the iconic vampire Lestat, depicted as a rock star. Reid is also recognized for his work on “Schitt’s Creek,” currently streaming on Hulu and HBO Max.

For viewers interested in witch-themed television, “A Discovery of Witches” presents another option. This British fantasy series, based on Deborah Harkness’s “All Souls Trilogy,” follows a romance between a vampire and a witch, played by Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer, as they confront magical adversaries. The show is available on both Netflix and AMC+.

Another notable series in the genre is “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale,” airing on AMC+. Described as a blend between “Big Little Lies” and “Practical Magic,” the show is set in an English town where witches are openly accepted. The storyline revolves around the murder of a teenage boy at a party, igniting local suspicion and witch hunts. Created by Debbie Horsfield and based on V.V. James’s novel, the series has two seasons accessible on AMC+.

For those drawn to chilling coastal murder mysteries, “The Killing,” inspired by the Danish series “Forbrydelsen,” is recommended. Starring Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman, the show is set in Seattle and follows two homicide detectives as they unravel complex cases. All four seasons are available on Hulu and AMC+.

The list of Pacific Northwest–inspired witchy murder mysteries would be incomplete without mentioning “Twin Peaks.” Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, this cult classic is noted for its unique blend of eerie romance and mystery. The original two seasons aired in the early 1990s, followed by Lynch’s 1992 prequel film, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.” In 2017, Lynch revived the series with a third season titled “The Return.” All three seasons of “Twin Peaks” are streaming on Paramount+ and Mubi, while the prequel film is available on HBO Max.
