The mysterious island town is getting stranger by the week. Apple TV+ released the first three episodes of Widow’s Bay over the last two weeks, and viewers are already hooked on the horror comedy series starring Matthew Rhys.
If you have been watching Mayor Tom navigate creepy events, strange townspeople, and the legend of the Sea Hag, you are probably waiting for what comes next. The good news is that the wait is almost over.
Widow’s Bay Episode 4 Release Date and Time
Widow’s Bay Episode 4, titled “Beach Reads,” arrives on May 13, 2026.
New episodes drop at the same time every week on Apple TV+. You can start streaming at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Tuesday night, May 12, depending on where you live.
Here is the release time breakdown for different regions:
- United States (East Coast): 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 12
- United States (West Coast): 6:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, May 12
- United Kingdom: 2:00 a.m. BST on Wednesday, May 13

The show follows a weekly release pattern. Episode 3 titled “Inaugural Swim” came out on May 6. Now Episode 4 is set to continue the story without any breaks in the schedule.
What to Expect in Episode 4 ‘Beach Reads’
The title “Beach Reads” sounds harmless, but nothing on Widow’s Bay is what it seems. The previous episode ended with major questions about whether the supernatural threats are real or just a trick to scare away tourists.
Episode 4 will dig deeper into Mayor Tom’s growing belief that the town is cursed. After his encounter with the Sea Hag, Tom is starting to think that Wyck actually saved his life. This changes everything about how he views the strange events happening around him.
The show balances horror elements with sharp comedy. Matthew Rhys leads the cast as the confused mayor who just wanted to run a small tourist town. Instead, he got mystery, conspiracy, and possibly real monsters.
One fan on social media wrote, “I came for the comedy but stayed because the Sea Hag actually scared me. Episode 4 cannot come soon enough.”
