June 11, 2026

Apple TV announced today that Widow's Bay has been renewed for a second season. The news comes with one episode remaining in the horror comedy's 10-episode freshman run. Since its April debut, the show has garnered high praise from critics and viewers alike.

"From the moment audiences arrived in Widow's Bay, they've been hooked on every eerie mystery, unexpected laugh and cursed secret that Katie, Hiro, Matthew and the entire team have created," said Matt Cherniss, head of programming, Apple TV. "It's become one of those shows everyone's talking about, and we're thrilled to see audiences continue to embrace it. We can't wait to return for another season."

Set in a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England, the series follows mayor Tom Loftis, who 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. Tom 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 about something lurking beneath the surface. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.
