Apple TV+ lands “Widow’s Bay,” new series from Katie Dippold and Hiro Murai

Today, Apple TV+ announced “Widow’s Bay,” a new 10-episode series from creator Katie Dippold (“The Heat,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Ghostbusters”), with Emmy Award winner Hiro Murai (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “The Bear,” “Atlanta”) set to direct the pilot.

“Widow’s Bay” is about a mysteriously cursed New England island and its superstitious citizens, led by a mayor who refuses to believe their warnings.

The new series hails from Apple Studios and will be showrun and executive produced by Dippold. In addition to directing, Murai will also produce alongside Claudia Shin and Carver Karaszewski.

Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have earned 503 wins and 2,307 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and historic Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”
