Widow’s Bay premiere date, trailer, what to expect

Come Wednesday, April 29 over at Apple TV, we are going to have a chance to dive into the world of Widow’s Bay. Does this have a chance to be one of the hidden gems of the entire year?

Well, from all the indications that we have so far, let’s just say that we would not be surprised in the slightest. This is a series that seems designed to evoke a little bit of Twin Peaks, FROM, and maybe a little Parks and Recreation at the same time. It stars a favorite of many underrated shows in Matthew Rhys, who is playing a Mayor who really is just trying to help his town. However, there could be problems all around him.

Want to learn more about what is ahead? Well, go ahead and check out the official synopsis below:

“Widow’s Bay” is a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. But something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew 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. “Widow’s Bay” blends genuine horror with character-driven comedy.

You can also view one of the latest teasers for the show over here, just in case you want a visual for what this world would look like. Promotion for the series has admittedly been rather under-the-radar so far. With that, we really just hope that people do end up discovering it and giving this quirky community a chance.
