We're halfway through 2026 already, and the list of best shows of the year (so far) is steadily growing. Apple TV's "Widow's Bay" is certainly among that illustrious group. If you haven't tuned in to the comedy-horror hit just yet, the Katie Dippold-created mystery is set in the fictional New England town of Widow's Bay, a scenic but sinister spot that is seemingly afflicted with a centuries-old curse that, much to the chagrin of the local mayor (Matthew Rhys) and his tourism efforts, has flooded the island with evil supernatural forces.The 10-episode first season was acclaimed by both pro critics and casual viewers alike. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has an excellent 97% approval rating, with the critics' consensus praising: "Katie Dippold successfully continues to invest in eccentricity with this outlandish horror-comedy that stokes the genre's well-worn tropes to winning effect, bringing scares, laughs, and a game cast.")So it's not a surprise that, though season 1 has only just wrapped up on June 17, folks are already buzzing about a potential second season of the Apple TV comedy. Here's everything we know so far about "Widow's Bay" season 2.Will there be a 'Widow's Bay' season 2?Good news: "Widow's Bay" is officially coming back for a second season.
