Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay owes everything to The Wicker Man

Apple TV has another breakout hit on its hands. After making a name for itself as the best streaming platform for science fiction, the service is expanding into the horror genre with Widow’s Bay, which features scares and comedy in equal measure thanks to its Babadook-loving showrunner Katie Dippold, a murderers’ row of directors (Hiro Murai, Ti West, Andrew DeYoung, Samuel Donovan), and a stellar cast (Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root). But the breakout star of Widow’s Bay is, without question, Katie O’Flynn.
