Widow’s Bay, the new horror comedy series from Apple TV+, tells the story of a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England, where something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There’s no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. The show is a delight and a half, with stellar performances from the entire cast, stories that will make you laugh with humour and fear, and a fantastic score from composer David Fleming. We hopped on Zoom with the composer to discuss his approach to the series, what attracted him to it, and why the show’s fourth episode, “Beach Reads,” might be his favourite.

Widow’s Bay is now streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes every Wednesday.
