Created by Katie Dippold, <em>Widow\u2019s Bay<\/em> is set in a fictional \u2014 and very much cursed \u2014 New England island town and centers around Tom, the town\u2019s mayor.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince the show\u2019s April premiere, it\u2019s continued to pick up momentum both critically and in viewing. \u201cI remember reading it for the first time and being like, I love this,\u201d Southwick says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe tone of <em>Widow\u2019s Bay<\/em> is tough to land, and it very much does, but Southwick was curious about how it would turn out when filming the show. \u201cI was watching it and thought that is exactly what I was thinking, if not better than what I imagined,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe spooky New England vibe was easy to get into for Southwick, largely due to the show filming across Massachusetts. \u201cWe would shoot in these smaller sea towns outside of Boston, in people\u2019s houses. I would talk to the owners, and they would have their own <em>Widow\u2019s Bay<\/em>-esque stories,\u201d he says. \u201cIt really put you into the mindset of being in a sea town that\u2019s haunted, so I\u2019m glad that we shot in Massachusetts because I had never been, and the place is a very big part of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe show moved between soundstages and location shoots to really get that environment right. \u201cYou see the town and Richard Warren with his head cut off, that\u2019s really what it looks like. You could be there today, and it\u2019ll look basically the exact same,\u201d says Southwick.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2267\">Lily James to Star in Horror Thriller \u2018Seasons\u2019 for Amazon MGM Studios<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tDippold spent years finding the right tone of the show that would translate to audiences. It was something that stood out to Southwick when he read the script. He points to the state of horror at the moment, with franchises that continue to put out sequels and new entry points, like <em>Obsession<\/em> and <em>Backrooms<\/em>, that are also doing well.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWhat <em>Widow\u2019s Bay <\/em>did really well was it took those horror tropes and made [them] its own. It\u2019s a very original idea,\u201d the actor says. He also points out just how funny the show is and how hard that can be.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor Southwick, whose past credits include <em>Presumed Innocent<\/em> and <em>56 Days<\/em>, playing Evan has been a dream. \u201cHe\u2019s a really smart kid,\u201d he says of Evan. \u201cThere\u2019s so much more that Evan can be saying and would be saying and stuff, but he doesn\u2019t let off all of his stuff he wants to say or feels like he can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe father-son relationship between Evan and Tom is a big driving force for Evan\u2019s story. \u201cThere\u2019s so many unspoken things, and I think that\u2019s also partially because I haven\u2019t had a mom,\u201d Southwick says of his character. \u201cBeing able to have an emotional intelligence or awareness of being able to talk about how you feel or things like that [is important]. Evan didn\u2019t grow up with that. He grew up with a dad who kind of wants everything to be idyllic and to be the perfect thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLooking ahead, Southwick\u2019s excited to see how Evan can grow and what might be in store for the recently announced second season. \u201cI\u2019m really excited for not only the mischief he gets into, but the levels that he can get to,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSouthwick says he and team would talk on set about how he could evolve in the next season if he played him one way or another. The actor has also wanted to venture more into comedic work, having mostly worked on dramas. \u201cThis is a good way for me personally as an actor to ease myself into it,\u201d he says. \u201cI think that for season two could there\u2019s so many more opportunities for Evan to be in a very crazy, funny situation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2265\">\u2018Pen15\u2019 Co-Creator Sam Zvibleman to Adapt Anika Jade Levy Novel \u2018Flat Earth\u2019 for Vice Studios (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Widow\u2019s Bay actor Kingston Rumi Southwick on the Apple TV+ series and his hopes for season two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1863,1602],"class_list":["post-2271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-kingston-rumi-southwick","tag-widows-bay-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
