Hudson Williams has an even bigger role in Yaga than we thought

If there's something we're all craving right now, it's more Hudson Williams. The Canadian Screen Award-winning star of Heated Rivalry has launched into one of the biggest actors in the world, and deservingly so with the talent, drive, personality, and movie star looks to back it up. Thankfully, before the year comes to an end, we're getting even more of Williams than we expected.

We're not talking about his skincare ambassadorship or fashion and jewelry partnerships but his highly anticipated role in the Crave supernatural mystery series Yaga, which premieres in October. The series, also set to stream on AMC+ in the United States, features the breakout star in the key villainous role of Henry Park. But Crave just surprised fans with a second role for Williams.

Hudson Williams plays two characters in Yaga

On Sept. 10, Crave dropped the surprise reveal on social media that in addition to playing Henry Park in Yaga, Williams will also be playing a second character named Logan. The streaming service revealed the news with a photo of a Polaroid featuring Williams as Henry with his arm around himself as Logan. So, who is the mysterious new character and what does he have in store for the series?

Well, that's a bit unknown right now. From the looks of it, Logan appears to be the polar opposite of Henry. While Henry's styling offers much more a of "cool" aesthetic, Logan wears glasses and seems to be, for lack of a better term, dorkier. He's also somehow shorter than Henry, which is quite the feat of acting. Oh, Hudson Williams, the actor you are! (Okay, it's probably just a matter of footwear.)

For those who have read Kat Sandler's play, upon which her eight-episode limited series is based, you know there isn't a prominent character named Logan. There's a limited number of characters in the play, but with the adaptation for the screen, it's inevitable that there will be changes and additions, and that includes an expanded universe beyond the stage and new characters.

When the Yaga teaser trailer dropped this summer, there was particularly curious scene that already had fans theorizing what could be happening. In the quick glimpse of this scene, Henry appeared to be engaged in a threesome with a woman and another man, though the second man's face wasn't visible. From that shot alone, some fans wondered whether the man was also Henry.

If that theory turns out to be true and Logan's the other character taking part in the threesome, then fans will have correctly guessed that Williams played both male characters in that scene. Of course, we won't know for sure until the series makes its premiere in October, but it's a fun prospect to ponder, especially because it would mean that Williams will be acting opposite himself.

Since we don't know much about Logan before the show's debut, it's difficult to know if we're going to like him more than Henry or if he will be another hate-able character. In the play, Henry's a spoiled heir who's accused of sexual assault and ultimately goes missing. His disappearance is the driving force of the narrative that allows for the unraveling of the modern retelling of the Baba Yaga legend.

In addition to Williams' dual role, Yaga's main cast also include Carrie-Anne Moss as Katherine, Noah Reid as Rapp, and Clark Backo as Carson. As if we weren't already excited to watch Williams perform alongside this cast, we now have the added excitement of watching Hudson Williams act with Hudson Williams. Double the Hudson, double the fun!
