Apple TV is booking a return trip to Widow’s Bay.
The streamer has ordered a second season of the show, a horror comedy starring Matthew Rhys as the mayor of a New England town whose residents all — save for him — believe the town is cursed. The renewal comes six days before the show concludes its first season; the finale is scheduled for June 17.
Apple TV has also signed Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold to a multi-year overall deal. She’ll continue to serve as showrunner of the series and also develop new projects.
Widow’s Bay has earned critical praise (and some famous fans) over the course of its first season. Dippold told The Hollywood Reporter that she’s had the show in her head for nearly 20 years — and almost sold a version it to Amazon in 2013 before pulling it back. “I just had this bad feeling,” she said. “I put a pin in it. I just knew it wasn’t ready. I knew I hadn’t thought enough about the show or the world.”
