SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “Our History” and “Seasickness,” the sixth and seventh episodes of “Widow’s Bay,” now streaming on Apple TV.
Betty Gilpin felt like she was haunting the cast of “Widow’s Bay.”
Apple TV’s horror-comedy from creator Katie Dippold had already shot its first season when Gilpin arrived on set to film a surprise flashback episode, which aired as the sixth installment of its freshman run. The episode, released this week along with Episode 7, takes viewers back to 1702 when Widow’s Bay’s original sin was taking root.
Gilpin plays Sarah Warren, a woman brought to the island as part of an arranged marriage to its founder Richard Warren (Hamish Linklater), only to learn he made a deal with the devil to spare his starving town. The episode is a vast departure from the already surreal series, stylistically presented on gritty film and helmed by famed horror director Ti West. The series’ main cast had also already been sent home by this point, so it was a change of pace — and people and place — for everyone.
