Superstitions aren’t to be taken lightly in Widow’s Bay, a quaint New England island where strange things go bump in the night, tall tales often turn out to be true, and local customers are rooted in historic evils.

All in all, it’s about as cursed as it gets, but don’t tell that to its mayor, who in Apple TV’s new comedic horror series (April 29) is convinced that it’s on the cusp of becoming a big-time tourist destination—regardless of mounting macabre evidence to the contrary.

Striking an ideal balance between the quirky and the creepy, Widow’s Bay is a genre-straddling saga about one man’s efforts to cope with a regional legacy that refuses to align with his plans for the present.
