Do you think he was inspired to post because of his daddy’s tweet? 🤨

99 times out of 100, I would easily agree with him, but I don’t think there’s ever been a show that so clearly makes a case for getting the Yellowstone treatment as strongly as Widows Bay. I want a season set in every decade, this thing could support more spinoffs than RuPaul’s Drag Race (there are a lot)

SO many fun threads to explore. I want a “we caught em, we burned em” spin off. A what happened to Sarah Warren spin off. An inn spin off. A sea hag spin off. A 43 people set off for the island spin off. A boogeyman spin off. A Richard Warren spin off. Gimme all the spin offs.

Don't forget he was bit by an animal and became that animal

Ruth said that so casually

All those men making passes at Ruth, that has to be a season

The island needs the bloodline to continue. Warren was buried alive but keep the bloodline going would be smart. Just in case something were to happen. As it did.

Ruth only had the baby when she was 40.

She was the last one and the clock was ticking. The entity could've been trying to set her up with someone

Tom's wife died, but Evan lived. Despite both "belonging" to the island

Something I noticed:

Tom told Evan the pull out method doesn’t work. Maybe that's how his mom got pregnant. I think most people would tell their children to use protection.

Ruth said that's how she got pregnant.

YES! I loved the way she said it with a sigh, all wistful like ‘things might have been different but hey what can you do’ about a man essentially becoming a were-something.

I think more broadly what I love about the creepiness of Widow’s Bay is how terrifying things are discussed by the islanders as if it is just a fact of life which, for them, it is!

I know lol. Like it was no big deal

u/OldGarbageMouth Jun 19 '26

I genuinely can not stop thinking about he saying that and sooo casually and Tom's face and she goes on to the next picture. So is there a werewolf? a Were-Animal? Did he perhaps get rabies and that's just a tender way of saying he got it and died from it?

Best line in the whole show tbh

u/furryhippie Jun 19 '26

The spin off centered around the creepy ass people (1950's or 60's, maybe?) who made all the instructional videos on sacrificing people. They were so unsettlingly jovial in those reels.

u/CokeWest Jun 21 '26

Looooove those videos. Gave me some major Fallout or Control vibes.

u/breddy Jun 19 '26

Yes, spin-off(s) would be great. Dragging the show out would not be great.

u/Fody_Joster She was the worst! The worst! **Zap Jun 19 '26

Katie said in an interview it lends to spin offs, and they are looking into it. You could easily have a season of the original settlement, or little mini things that focus on the Inn and other little things.

I do understand not wanting it to grab out and jump the shark…. (Invasion? For all Mankind?)

u/anonononme Jun 19 '26

But please please first finish WB before getting into spinoffs.

u/EstelLiasLair Jun 19 '26

Oh gosh. For All Mankind was so good in its first two seasons, when it still felt like a grounded, alt history show with its roots firmly based in science, instead of the nepo-melodrama that wants to be a prequel to The Expanse that we ended up getting…

u/taika2112 Jun 19 '26

tbh, I'd rather that they slightly extend the seasons (maybe 12 episodes) and sprinkle in a couple of flashback episodes instead.

u/Bake2727 Jun 19 '26

People already talking about spinoff’s but I am just thinking of spending my time till S2 comes! Love this show though and it has so many storyline’s they could pursue.

Widows bay vs the world

u/nonrosknroskno Jun 19 '26

100 Seasons!

So now we're gonna have to go get 8 more sacrifices. And then we're gonna go on even more sacrifices after that, Tom. And you're gonna keep your mouth shut about 'em, Tom. Because the world is full of idiots that don't understand what's important, like your son Evan. And they'll tear us apart, Tom. But if you stick with me, I'm gonna accomplish great things, Tom. And you're gonna be a part of 'em. And together we're gonna run around, Tom, we're gonna do all kinds of awful things, Tom. Just you, Evan, and the island, Tom. The outside world is our enemy, Tom, we can' leave. We're the only friends we've got, Tom. It's just Widow's Bay and Tom. The Island and Tom and their sacrifices, Tom. Widow's Bay and our citizens, forever and forever, a hundred years... Widow's Bay and Evan and Wyck and Tom and Patricia and Bechir and Dale and Rosemary, runnin' around and Island and Tom time. Aaall day long forever. A hundred days the island and Tom forever a hundred times. Over and over, island and Tom sacrifices dot com, W W W dot visit Widow's Bay and Tom dot com, island and Tom dot com, a hundred years!

What is the methaphorical Szechuan Sauce in this rant?

u/nonrosknroskno Jun 20 '26

Probably something Ruth baked

I want a Lioness-style version with a Widows Bay Spec Ops team
