‘Widow's Bay' Wins Every Nomination at 2026 Emmy Awards

Widow's Bay was one of the most nominated shows at the 2026 Emmys - but how many awards did the series win?

The show took home trophies for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series during the Monday, September 14, awards ceremony held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Widow's Bay was nominated for seven awards in total. The Apple TV show, which premiered in April, is set in a fictional New England island town - Widow's Bay - plagued by a centuries-old curse, bringing various supernatural evils to the island.

Matthew Rhys and his costars Kate O'Flynn, Kevin Carroll, Dale Dickey, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Jeff Hiller, Stephen Root, K Callan and more received critical acclaim shortly after the show's debut. (Widow's Bay scored 19 Emmy nominations in total across the Creative Emmys.)

"[It is an] the interesting question [to consider] how long [the show could go for]," Rhys, 51, told Us in August about what comes next. "It's like Scooby-Doo. How long could you draw an episode of Scooby-Doo? How long does it take for them to figure something out? Or how long does it take for them to try and figure something out before they become buffoons for not figuring it out?"

He continued, "If the audience is going, ‘Oh my God, come on! You can see how it's figured out!' Then you've lost them. So I don't know but it could be quite finite."

Rhys noted he could see the series branching out with spinoffs - and an anthology twist.

"I pitched that actually. You go back to the '60s and I'm a mayor. And the 40s and the 1890s," he noted. "Then I'm pretty sure Patricia is going to get her own spinoff or should [get one]."

Looking ahead, Rhys teased he was just as nervous about season 2.

"[Fans should be] terrified. No one is safe. Anyone can be taken down at a moment's notice," Rhys quipped.

The actor assumed that nothing was off the table when it comes to the horror-comedy.

"The game is wide open for a big shocking death where everyone goes, ‘Oh my God, I didn't think they would kill off Tom Loftis,'" he teased of his own character. "I have that worry. Present tense."
