Widow's Bay, the latest Apple TV+ series, has been met with rave reviews and is hailed as one of the best shows of 2026. As the finale approaches, many viewers are wondering how many episodes there are and when they can binge the entire season.
Episode Count and Release Schedule
The first season of Widow's Bay consists of 10 episodes. The series debuted in April, with new episodes releasing weekly. The season finale, titled 'We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time,' drops on June 17, typically available on Apple TV+ around 8am. This final installment promises shocking answers and sets up future mysteries.
What Is Widow's Bay About?
Matthew Rhys stars as Tom Loftis, the mayor of Widow's Bay, a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. He aims to turn the island into a top US tourist destination, but faces challenges: no Wi-Fi, limited activities, and superstitious locals who believe the island is cursed. As it turns out, the locals were right.
The series blends comedy and horror, drawing comparisons to Stephen King's works. One critic described it as 'both an incredibly funny and dense laugh-out-loud joke machine and a genuinely scary and menacing fright fest.' It holds a near-perfect 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
How to Watch
Widow's Bay is exclusive to Apple TV+, available as a standalone subscription via the Apple TV app or as an add-on through Prime Video.
