Of course, this news also suggests that the island’s curse will not be vanquished in the finale, or it will lie dormant once again. Dippold joked about the upcoming season, saying, "Season two is about how everything is great on the island and there's nothing to worry about."
Set on a remote island plagued by strange occurrences, Widow’s Bay follows Mayor Tom Loftis (Rhys) as he attempts to transform his struggling hometown into a tourist destination. His plans take a terrifying turn when long-dormant local legends begin to come true, revealing that the island's curse may be very real.
The series expertly mixes genuine scares with character-driven comedy and stars Rhys alongside Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, and Dale Dickey.
With another season on the way, viewers can expect even more supernatural mysteries and darkly comic adventures when Widow’s Bay returns to Apple TV.
