Learning about “YAGA” At SDCC 2026
As we learned more about “YAGA” at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, I sat down with Sandler along with stars Noah Reid and Clark Backo to talk about the series in the THS Press Suite. During our conversation we chat about how it was for Sandler to take the stage place to the small screen. Backo and Reid tell us about their characters and how they will co-exist in this series. We also share our opinions as to, what is a witch? It was a great conversation that you can check out below!
