Widow’s Bay cast list in full including Death in Paradise star
The unique new horror comedy series is streaming now
The line-up includes Emmy award winners and plenty of familiar faces.
Horror comedy series Widow’s Bay has now started streaming on Apple TV+. The first two episodes were released earlier today (April 29). After that, new instalments will be released on a weekly basis. It is now confirmed that the 10-part series should mark its finale in June.
The brand new series was created by writer Katie Dippold. Her past credits include penning scripts for Parks and Recreation episodes as well as the films The Heat and 2016 Ghostbuster’s reboot.
According to the show’s synopsis 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 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. Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination.
Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.
But who is in the series cast? And where will you have seen them before? Here’s all you need to know.
