The first two episodes of Widow's Bay are currently available to stream on Apple TV+. According to multiple reports, some reviewers have called it the finest new programme of the year so far. Critics have praised its blend of comedy and horror, describing it as a unique offering that delivers thrills for fans of both genres.
The series is set in Widow's Bay, a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. The story follows Mayor Tom Loftis, played by Matthew Rhys, as he tries to revive his struggling community. Complicating matters are superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. The exact nature of the curse remains unclear.
New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays. The finale is expected to arrive in June, though an exact date has not been announced.
