"The setup for Widow's Bay is pure Stephen King: A small island off the coast of New England is haunted by an ancient evil that prevents those born there from ever leaving."
"Tom's big dream isn't vanquishing whatever it is his town's more superstitious longtime residents think lurks in the shadows; it's turning Widow's Bay into the next Martha's Vineyard."
"Marketing to the Salem crowd would mean admitting what Widow's Bay is, delving into the town's past rather than turning away from it."

Widow's Bay is an Apple TV series set on a cursed island in New England, where an ancient evil traps its residents. Mayor Tom Loftis dreams of transforming the town into a tourist destination, ignoring its dark history of serial killers. Despite the town's superstitions and the dangers of leaving the island, Tom is determined to attract visitors, even as he grapples with the implications of his choices on his son, Evan, who has never left the island due to the curse.
