How many episodes are in new series Widow’s Bay and when you can stream them
The 100% rated horror series has started streaming but fans still face a wait.
Widow’s Bay is the latest title to land on Apple TV+ and be welcomed with rave reviews. Only the first two instalments have premiered so far as of today (April 29).
Future episodes of the 10-part series are expected to drop over the coming weeks. Starring Matthew Rhys in the lead role it has already been described as ‘must watch TV’ and the ‘best new show of 2026’.
Rhys takes on the role of Tom Loftis, Mayor of Widow’s Bay, a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England where something lurks beneath the surface. He is desperate to put the place on the map and turn it into one of the must visit locations for tourists in the US.
However, not only does the island have no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception and very little to actually do, Tom must also contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. Unfortunately, it seems the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.
The series is only available to those who have access to the Apple TV+ service. This is available either as a standalone subscription via its own dedicated app, or as an add-on through the Prime Video platform.
