The Matrix star, 58, is unrecognizable as she seduces Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams in new trailer
Carrie-Anne Moss returns to the screen in the upcoming AMC+ series Yaga. The 58-year-old actress shifts away from her well-known role as Trinity in The Matrix, adopting a new appearance for her part as Katherine, a university professor at the center of this dark mystery.
The series draws inspiration from Slavic folklore, specifically the figure of Baba Yaga. Katherine is described as a character with complex motivations who engages in an intimate relationship with a younger man, played by Hudson Williams. The trailer indicates that the show blends supernatural elements, including rituals and demonic occurrences, with a grounded investigation in a coastal town.
Joining Moss in the production are Noah Reid and Clark Backo, who play a private investigator and a local detective tasked with uncovering the truth behind a mysterious disappearance. The project was introduced to fans at the recent San Diego Comic-Con, where the cast and showrunner Kat Sandler shared early details about the tonal shift for Williams in his role as the heir to a fishing empire.
For Moss, this role represents a departure from her recent focus on mindfulness and her lifestyle brand, Annapurna Living. Having stepped away from the traditional Hollywood circuit to live in New Hampshire, her return to a lead role in Yaga highlights a different professional chapter for the actress. The show promises to explore the darker, mythical themes associated with its legendary source material.
