Widow’s Bay (2026): Release Schedule of All Episodes, Plot, Cast & Where to Watch

Widow’s Bay is a new streaming series that has quickly caught attention, and it is a horror comedy starring Matthew Rhys. The show is set in a small island village in the northeast, where the mayor wants to turn the quiet place into a busy tourist spot. That plan might have worked if the town was normal, but it is not. The people who live there, many of whom have spent their whole lives in the village and never seem to leave, believe in ghosts, killer clowns, and other strange things that keep happening around them.

The series is created by Kate Dippold, who has written films like The Heat and Ghostbusters, and it follows this unpopular mayor as he tries to reshape a simple fishing town into a place that attracts visitors. At the same time, he is forced to deal with the town’s dark past and events that cannot be explained, along with residents who strongly hold on to their beliefs. The tone of the show mixes horror and humor, bringing together elements that feel like The Mist and Jaws, with a bit of Parks & Recreation. The series premiered with two episodes on Apple TV on April 29, and the rest of the ten-episode season will be released weekly.

When is ‘Widow’s Bay’ releasing?

Widow’s Bay is available to stream only on Apple TV. The series started with its first two episodes on April 29, and after that, new episodes are being released every week. There is one exception to this schedule, as both episode 6 and episode 7 will be released together on May 27. It is also worth keeping in mind that Apple often makes new episodes available earlier than expected, usually around 9 p.m. Eastern on the evening before the official release date. So if you do not want to wait, it is a good idea to check the platform the night before each listed release date to see if the next episode is already available.
