Hudson Williams to make appearances at TIFF on Day 8
The actor will discuss his breakout role and new series YAGA, which is set to stream on Crave next month.
- On Friday, September 18, 2026, the Toronto International Film Festival celebrates Hudson Williams with two appearances: an onstage Q-and-A this afternoon and a special evening screening of his latest TV project.
- Williams rose to fame late last year starring as Shane Hollander in the hockey romance "Heated Rivalry," winning multiple awards at The Canadian Screen Awards and becoming a hot commodity alongside co-star Connor Storrie.
- His new series, "YAGA," is a modern retelling of the Baba Yaga myth set on Canada's west coast, starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid, and Clark Backo, based on the stage play by showrunner Kat Sandler.
- Also on the schedule at the festival today is a session with South Korean actor Lee Min-ho and the world premiere of the film "Up Against It," starring Antonio Banderas and Eva Birthistle.
- While the production hits the streaming service Crave next month, the second season of his previous hit began filming last month, with showrunner Jacob Tierney requesting privacy during production.
