Widow’s Bay Apple TV+'s Widow's Bay (2026) arrives with a siren song of small-town mystery and supernatural scares, firmly planting itself in that eerie territory somewhere between Stephen King‘s entire back catalogue and “Parks and Rec”(Not that Quinny would know)… Created by Katie Dippold and starring Matthew Rhys alongside Kate O'Flynn and Stephen Root, The series follows a skeptical small town mayor trying to revitalise a struggling island community… while said community politely insists that no… it is, in fact, extremely cursed. It’s seaside charm, folklore that refuses to stay folklore, and a creeping sense that the local tourism slogan probably shouldn't be “The next Martha’s Vineyard and definitely not cursed”. With its blend of horror and comedy, it's the perfect playground for trope-spotting and an amount of nervous laughter. Joining you on this misty journey are your fearless hosts: Dion, Jill, and Quinny. Together, they dig into the show's classic horror beats, lingering dread, and the straight up “NOPE” energy of creepy frickin’ clowns. Also in this episode… Because tonal consistency is overrated, the team also wanders into: The Sheep Detectives (2026) — a delightfully odd mystery comedy where a flock of sheep attempt to solve their shepherd's murder (yes, really, and yes, we have questions). A reflection on the recent passing of Sam Neill, the beloved Jurassic Park star, who died aged 78—leaving behind a remarkable legacy across film and television. Synopsis Tom Loftis is the skeptical mayor of a sleepy, supernatural New England island town. As he tries to boost local tourism, he must contend with superstitious locals, a centuries-old curse, and bizarre hauntings that threaten residents and visitors. https://youtu.be/6PBwVH1Hob4 As always, a big Widow’s Bay welcome and thank you to all you tourists and…LOCALS… who join in with the LOCAL conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST… FOR LOCALS… And an especially huge thanks to any of you mushroom addled baddies who are kind enough to support us by casting a cursed coin or two into our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch… every bit helps us to keep the lighthouse shining.;because we’re still scared of the dark… and clowns. If you feel so inclined drop us a sub we really love them, The more subby mc-sub-faces we get, the more Emotes You get! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLMoZUWh_dI&pp=ygUTd2lkb3dzbiBhYnkgdHJhaWxlcg%3D%3D WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!

Mayor Tom Loftis wants to turn his struggling, New England island town into a thriving tourist attraction. But some residents believe Widow's Bay is cursed, and his efforts to boost it are stirring up its otherworldly forces. Tom is thwarted by his staff's bumbling ineptitude and a series of supernatural encounters that shake his confidence. As the skeptical mayor slowly becomes a believer, he works to break the curse in which any island-born natives die if they leave for the mainland. Emmy nominees Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Stephen Root star in the surprise hit Apple TV series “Widow's Bay.” The show is a balance of absurdist office comedy and part Stephen King novel. Can a misfit group of heroes decipher why their island community is haunted, protect its inhabitants, and reverse the fate of its native-born residents — including Tom's son? OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WIDOW'S BAY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE. In Crime of the Week: definitely not fooling anyone.

Depuis quelques années, l'horreur veut souvent tout nous expliquer. Le fantôme devient un trauma, la maison un deuil, le monstre une métaphore, et chaque couloir semble surtout servir à commenter une blessure intime. Widow's Bay part ailleurs. Cette série installée dans une ville côtière maudite de Nouvelle-Angleterre pose une question beaucoup plus simple — et peut-être plus forte : l'horreur a-t-elle oublié le plaisir brut de la maison hantée ?

Aramide Tinubu (Television Critic, Variety) and Kate Erbland (Editorial Director, IndieWire) join Reshma Gopaldas to discuss the upcoming Emmy nominations and what we hope to see. Erbland explains the voting process as we lead up to the nominations on July 8. We talk about the shows that have been largely ignored by the Television Academy, what shows you won't see being recognized, why The Bear has never belonged in comedy and why it might, for the first time, not see much Emmy recognition this round. Widow's Bay is a new entree on the table, and is pushing The Bear off the menu, with Matthew Rhys leading the horror comedy.This year marks a final bow for Outlander, Hacks, The Bear and more. Will Caitríona Balfe finally get the Emmy acknowledgement and accolades for her work over the last 10 years on Outlander? Patina Miller also ends her run on Raising Kanan and Tinubu says her work has been stand out, yet largely ignored. Erbland shouts out Kate O'Flynn for her turn in Widow's Bay. Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra's work in Pluribus is sure to get recognition for their apocalyptic antics. Lisa Kudrow is back with The Comeback, and Euphoria gave its final bow, but did Zendaya's performance break through the challenges of the final season? The Pitt will also dominate the nominations, with Noah Wyle at the forefront. For limited series, Tinubu says Sarah Pidgeon is the sole reason why Love Story captivated everyone.Listen and let us know who you want to see get a nomination.Send us a text, let us know what shows and guests you want us to cover.

Q&A on the Netflix series The Beast in Me with actor Matthew Rhys. Moderated by Jim Halterman. Author Aggie Wiggs, grieving the loss of her son, finds new purpose unraveling the mystery behind neighbor Nile Jarvis' vanished wife and his suspicious dealings.
Widow's Bay Editors – Isaac Hagy, ACE; Kyle Reiter, ACE and Jen Bryson The editors of Widow's Bay may not live on a cursed New England island, but after years of working together across shows like Atlanta, Station Eleven and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Isaac Hagy, Kyle Reiter and Jen Bryson have developed the kind of shared creative history that makes them feel right at home in one. Created by Katie Dippold for Apple TV, Widow's Bay stars Matthew Rhys as Tom Loftis, the skeptical mayor of a strange little island town where the locals believe the place is cursed. Tom would very much like to turn Widow's Bay into a thriving tourist destination. Unfortunately, the island has other ideas. The series also stars Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll and Dale Dickey. For Isaac, Kyle and Jen, the show was another chance to reunite with longtime collaborator Hiro Murai and post producer Kaitlin Waldron. Isaac's creative relationship with Hiro goes back nearly twenty years, starting with no-budget music videos before eventually leading to Atlanta. Kyle joined that extended creative family through Kaitlin Waldron and Atlanta, while Jen came up through the same post team, beginning as a post PA before eventually moving into the editor's chair. In our interview, the editors talk about how the show was first described to them as something close to "ten episodes of Teddy Perkins," with additional reference points including Jaws, John Carpenter films, Stephen King stories and the specific textures of rural coastal New England. The island itself was designed to feel contemporary, but also strangely out of time — a place without cell phones, without modern comforts, and possibly without a sensible tourism strategy. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE is an editor whose work includes the feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television series such as Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, Chef's Table and Sirens. He has received multiple Emmy and ACE nominations for his work, including recognition for Atlanta and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Across his work in television and film, Isaac has helped shape stories that blend tonal precision, visual invention and deeply character-driven editing. KYLE REITER, ACE Kyle Reiter, ACE is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Barry, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven and Black Rabbit. A multiple Emmy nominee, Kyle won an ACE Eddie Award for his work on Atlanta. His editing work spans comedy, drama, surrealism and genre storytelling, often finding the rhythm between deadpan humor, emotional honesty and unexpected tonal shifts. JEN BRYSON Jen Bryson is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Sirens. After years of working with the post team connected to Hiro Murai, Kaitlin Waldron, Isaac Hagy and Kyle Reiter, Jen moved from post production assistant work into assistant editing and then into the editor's chair. Her work reflects a sharp eye for performance, character detail and the delicate balance between comedy, tension and emotional truth. Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs.

Today, we are joined by Kate O'Flynn from the Apple TV show Widow's Bay. We got the chance to discuss her superstitions, which include some rather interesting bird-related ideas. We also spoke about her recent turn taking the lead in Ep. 4 of Widow's Bay, "Beach Reads", which sees O'Flynn's character, Patricia, assistant to Matthew Rhys' Mayor Tom, organising a town party while dealing with some old school "friends". It's safe to say that, thanks to an ominous party-planning book, things take a turn for the supernatural. We also discuss if she walked away with any party tips from this experience.. Thanks to Kate for sitting down with us for this wonderful chat about the show, now streaming on Apple TV. About "Widow's Bay" In "Widow's Bay," something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There's no Wi-Fi, 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. Blending genuine horror with character-driven comedy, "Widow's Bay" 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 Dippold. 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.
It's Apple TV+ this week on the podcast, as that's the last place on TV, or at least one of them, that's still taking big creative swings and also releasing episodes serially. Longtime contributor Omar Gallaga joins Neal Pollack this week to discuss two Apple+ shows. The first, Margot's Got Money Troubles, based on a novel by Rufi Thorpe, comes to us from David E. Kelley, who's been making TV for decades. But this show feels fresh and modern thanks to a winning lead performance from Elle Fanning and a nuanced look at the Only Fans universe. The cast, which includes Nick Offerman, Greg Kinnear, Nicole Kidman, and Marcia Gay Harden, is uniformly excellent, but Michelle Pfeiffer steals the show with a late-career master turn as Margot's mother, a performance so fully realized it doesn't even feel like she's acting.Much more stylized, but no less effective, is Widow's Bay, a new comedy-horror semi-anthology series from comedy writer Katie Dippold, which embraces and deconstructs horror tropes with unabashed delight. It's like the X-Files meets Northern Exposure, with a touch of Twin Peaks and Parks and Recreation. The cast includes Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Stephen Root, and a bevy of monsters and supernatural happenings that bedevils a cursed Massachusetts island. Four episodes in, and Widow's Bay is already a TV legend. Omar and Neal give it their highest recommendation, and no one has better taste than they do.Enjoy the show!
We'll say inappropriate things at Rev. Bryce's memorial, then get LASIK for our 3rd eye AND we enter the Boogeyman's house with the help of delicious 'True Sight' - local, organic mushrooms! Plus we tackle your theories after the 5th episode 'What to Expect on Your Trip' of AppleTV's new hit show WIDOW'S BAY. Is this all "crazy stuff just happens" like the old TV show 'Lost'? Or is the mythology of Widow's Bay going to send us down a reddit rabbit hole? #WidowsBay Widow's Bay is an American comedy horror television series created by Katie Dippold for Apple TV, starring Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Kevin Carroll.
