Widow\u2019s Bay may never live up to Mayor Tom Loftis\u2019 dream of being the next Martha\u2019s Vineyard, but it is one of television\u2019s best comedies. Premiering earlier this spring, Widow\u2019s Bay put its spell on critics and attracted unsuspecting vacationers through the Siren song of strong word of mouth. We have those satisfied mainlanders to thank for visiting the haunted hamlet and convincing Apple TV that Widow\u2019s Bay is worth the trip. The streamer has returned in kind and ordered a second season of the series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in store for next season? Goblins? Please say it isn\u2019t goblins. Thankfully, creator Katie Dippold released a statement about the second season order, quelling any fears about what might happen on the show. \u201cSeason two is about how everything is great on the island, and there\u2019s nothing to worry about,\u201d Dippold said. That\u2019s a relief because Widow\u2019s Bay seems genuinely beautiful if you ignore the Sea Hags.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Widow\u2019s Bay follows Mayor Loftis (Matthew Rhys) as he tries to ready his long-cursed town for tourist season, only to have the town\u2019s paranormal residents screw the whole thing up. The series boasts a supporting cast that includes Kate O\u2019Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, Dale Dickey, K Callan, and Jeff Hiller. Contrary to popular belief, The A.V. Club has spent considerable time on the island, praising the show<\/a> (we gave it an A-), its inspired visual humor<\/a>, and its stand-out player, Kate O\u2019Flynn.<\/a> We\u2019ll continue to do so until our readers are cursed with Widow\u2019s Bay sickness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Widow\u2019s Bay may never live up to Mayor Tom Loftis\u2019 dream of being the next Martha\u2019s Vineyard, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,348],"class_list":["post-730712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730712\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
