Great

Matthew Rhys and Kate O’Flynn make this cursed-island comedy worth watching, even when the mayor’s refusal to listen gets tiring.

Overview

Where to watch

Widow’s Bay is an American horror-comedy created by Katie Dippold. Matthew Rhys plays Tom Loftis, the mayor of an isolated New England island whose residents believe it is cursed. Tom wants to bring in tourists and improve life for his teenage son, Evan. His plans become dangerous when the island’s old stories start happening again. Kate O’Flynn plays Patricia, Tom’s assistant; Stephen Root plays local fisherman Wyck; and Kingston Rumi Southwick plays Evan. Kevin Carroll, Dale Dickey and Jeff Hiller also appear. Hiro Murai directed five first-season episodes, with Ti West, Sam Donovan and Andrew DeYoung directing the others. The ten-episode first season premiered on April 29, 2026, and finished on June 17. All ten episodes are available with an Apple TV subscription in the United States. The original language is English. Apple renewed the series for a second season; the counts here cover the first released season.
