New Horror TV Show With 100% on RT That’s Perfect for Stephen King Fans Is Climbing U.S. Streaming Charts

by

Although Apple TV launched in 2019 as a latecomer to the streaming world, it has quickly found its niche. Over the past few years, Apple has become known for consistently releasing high-quality science fiction shows, and it’s also improved at regularly debuting new content. Just last month, the service premiered new seasons of both Your Friends & Neighbors and For All Mankind, as well as the brand new show, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. While Apple TV doesn’t release as many shows as Netflix, it consistently delivers quality programming.

Apple TV+ is expanding its horizons with its newest show, Widow’s Bay, a horror-comedy created by Katie Dippold (known for The Heat and Ghostbusters). The show demonstrates Apple’s ability to succeed beyond science fiction, and critics agree – it’s a hit! Currently, Widow’s Bay has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 36 reviews, earning it the “Certified Fresh” label. Plus, it’s quickly becoming even more popular.

Widow’s Bay Premieres to Perfect RT Score and Climbs the Charts

According to Flix Patrol, which monitors streaming service rankings, the new series Widow’s Bay is quickly gaining popularity. It started at #9 on Apple TV when it launched earlier this week, but has now climbed to #4, where it’s remained for the past two days.

It’s often a concern when a new show starts in the middle of the rankings during its first week. However, the shows currently ranking higher than Widow’s Bay have been out for a while and already have a dedicated audience, plus a larger number of episodes driving their chart positions. For instance, the #1 show, Your Friends & Neighbors, has been in the Top 10 for 163 days, and the #2 show, Imperfect Women, for 44. Widow’s Bay still has eight more episodes coming this summer, so it’s likely to gain momentum and move up in the rankings.

Widow’s Bay is a horror series set in a secluded New England town with a dark past, and it’s likely to appeal to fans of Stephen King. The show expertly blends classic horror elements with humor. For instance, the second episode features both a haunted hotel and a terrifying clown – a combination that King enthusiasts will especially enjoy. It’s a perfect blend of scares and wit.

Widow’s Bay is a fantastic example of its genre, and it also boasts a truly impressive cast. Matthew Rhys plays the town’s anxious mayor, who’s desperate to attract tourists but refuses to acknowledge the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The show features a wealth of talented character actors, including Stephen Root and Toby Huss from King of the Hill, along with Tim Baltz (The Righteous Gemstones), Kevin Carroll (The Walking Dead), and Connor Ratliff (The George Lucas Talk Show).

The first two episodes of Widow’s Bay are streaming now.
