Video: Watch a Sneak Peek Clip from New Genre-Bending Series WIDOW'S BAY
The first two episodes premiere on Apple TV this Wednesday, April 29.
Apple TV is offering a sneak peek inside Widow’s Bay, the genre-bending series led by Emmy Award-winner Matthew Rhys. Watch a clip from the second episode of the series, set on a strange island 40 miles off the New England coast. The first two episodes premiere on the streamer this Wednesday, April 29.
In Widow's Bay, Mayor Tom Loftis (Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There’s no wifi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. He wants these people to respect him. They don’t. They think he is soft and cowardly. And he is.
But Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination. Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.
The series, which blends horror with character-driven comedy, features an ensemble cast led by Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, and Dale Dickey. The supporting cast includes K Callan and Emmy Award-winner Jeff Hiller.
Hailing from Apple Studios, Widow’s Bay is created, showrun and executive produced by Katie Dippold. Hiro Murai executive produces through his banner Chum Films alongside Carver Karaszewski, Claudia Shin and Rhys. Murai directs five episodes this season, in addition to directors Ti West, Sam Donovan and Andrew DeYoung.
