Following the announcement of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, Apple TV head of programming Matt Cherniss officially defended submitting the breakout hit Widow’s Bay as a comedy. The series secured a massive 19 Emmy nominations, including a spot in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. Because it heavily blends terrifying folk horror with dry, deadpan humor, some questioned its classification, but Cherniss emphasized that the network treats it as a very dark comedy.
