There\u2019s so much to love<\/a> about Widow\u2019s Bay<\/a>, including but not limited to its excellently unique characters. Everyone living on the cursed island is a little bit weird, and the people who work with Mayor Tom Loftis at the Widow\u2019s Bay town hall are outstanding examples. We all love Patricia, and season one anticipated this, giving her two standout episodes<\/a> of her own<\/a>. But what about cult-favorite side characters Dale and Rosemary? We need more!<\/p>\n

Widow\u2019s Bay creator, showrunner, and executive producer Katie Dippold is right there with us. If she didn\u2019t know ahead of time that odd-couple besties Dale (played by Jeff Hiller) and Rosemary (played by Dale Dickey) would click with audiences, she surely knows now.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> ahead of the Widow\u2019s Bay season one finale, Dippold outlined some of her hopes for the show\u2019s recently announced second season.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big part of the fun in the writers room was that we thought a lot about the history of the island and what\u2019s been going on since the founder up until today,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was a lot of stuff that we couldn\u2019t do or just decided to not do yet. Between that and characters that we have, there\u2019s a lot. I would love to do a Rosemary episode for Dale Dickey, a Dale episode with Jeff Hiller.\u201d<\/p>\n

And she\u2019s not going to stop there. \u201cThere\u2019s so many characters to get to know more. I always wanted it to feel like there\u2019s a lot to explore in the island. Little nooks and crannies full of terror that you haven\u2019t seen yet,\u201d Dippold said. \u201cAnd I really want to get more into [Bechir], Kevin Carroll\u2019s character. There would be a lot more to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve loved Carroll ever since The Leftovers<\/a>, so we say a big yes to that idea too. The Widow\u2019s Bay season one finale officially arrives tomorrow (technically tonight, thanks to the whims of streaming scheduling) on Apple TV.<\/p>\n
