Summary
Apple TV+ ordered a second season of horror-comedy "Widow’s Bay" and signed creator Katie Dippold to an overall deal ahead of the Season 1 finale on June 17.
Dippold said the series began as a spec script for "Parks and Recreation," but she reshaped it into a less jokey, more immersive New England horror story.
"Widow’s Bay" follows a tiny island’s mayor—played by Matthew Rhys—as he tries to boost tourism while strange events unleash a centuries-old curse.
Dippold said the show’s tone drew on childhood memories of a frightening New Jersey boardwalk and abandoned-house adventures, aiming to capture fear mixed with exhilaration.
