On Monday, TV Insider published photos from the set of the new Dexter spin-off filmed in New York City. The pictures show Michael C. Hall, as Dexter, pulling Chris Jericho into an alley after seemingly paralyzing him with an injection. The photos also reveal a surprising new villain: an elderly man in a wheelchair, a significant departure from Dexter’s usual targets throughout the series.
The setup is familiar: Matthew Rhys stars as the mayor of a remote New England island hoping to transform it into a popular destination like Martha’s Vineyard. He achieves his goal, only to discover the locals were right – the island is cursed. While the basic idea isn’t new, Katie Dippold’s Widow’s Bay is a unique blend of comedy and horror, where neither genre overshadows the other. It’s genuinely scary and cleverly written, clearly showcasing Dippold’s love for horror. The early episodes feel like a collection of classic horror tropes – a haunted hotel, a nod to The Fog, a touch of Halloween – all presented in a fresh and inventive way. Simultaneously, it’s a comedy reminiscent of Parks and Recreation, set in a town plagued by unsettling events, which makes sense given Dippold’s background on that show. Rhys is fantastic, supported by Stephen Root and Kate O’Flynn, along with a talented ensemble cast including Dale Dickey, Jeff Hiller, Chris Fleming, and Kevin Carroll. The show boasts a striking visual style, largely thanks to director Hiro Murai (who helms most episodes, with contributions from Sam Donovan, Ti West, and Andrew DeYoung). Widow’s Bay is hard to categorize, and that’s its strength. It masterfully balances tone, and the creators make it look effortless. I found myself anticipating both the scares and the laughs with every shadowy hallway and dimly lit street. —Nicholas Quah
