Apple Unveils Trailer for Widow’s Bay Ahead of April Premiere
Apple has released the official trailer for Widow’s Bay, a mysterious new genre-blending horror-comedy set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, April 29.
Set in a seemingly peaceful island town located 40 miles off the coast of New England, Widow’s Bay tells the story of a place where something unsettling lies just beneath the surface.
The series stars Matthew Rhys as Mayor Tom Loftis, a determined leader trying to revive his struggling community and create a better future for his teenage son.
When Progress Awakens Something Sinister
Life on the island isn’t exactly modern—there’s no Wi-Fi, limited cellular service, and a population deeply rooted in superstition. Many locals believe the island is cursed, but Loftis pushes forward with plans to turn it into a tourist hotspot.
At first, his efforts seem successful as visitors begin to arrive. But the optimism doesn’t last long. Strange and terrifying events begin to unfold, bringing old legends back to life and proving the locals may have been right all along.
Horror Meets Comedy
Created and executive produced by Katie Dippold and directed in part by Hiro Murai, Widow’s Bay blends genuine horror elements with character-driven comedy, offering a unique tone that sets it apart from traditional genre shows.
Release Schedule
The first season will include 10 episodes, rolling out as follows:
April 29 — First three episodes premiere
Weekly releases — One new episode every Wednesday
May 27 — Special two-episode drop
June 17 — Season finale
