Widow's Bay Delivers a Fresh Horror-Comedy Tone on Apple TV+
TL;DR
Matthew Rhys says Apple TV+'s Widow's Bay fuses eerie sea-hag horror with deadpan humor in a tone the actor says he's never read before. Created by Katie Dippold and directed by Hiro Murai (with Ti West, Sam Donovan and Andrew DeYoung), the 10-episode series follows a New England island town as legends unfold and laughs arise naturally. It debuts April 29, 2026 with the first three episodes and will release new installments weekly through June 17.
