Apple TV is launching its strongest summer lineup yet, but two current shows already lead the charts. Widow’s Bay and Margo’s Got Money Troubles both boast 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, tying for the best‑reviewed Apple series of the year.

Widow’s Bay, a horror‑comedy‑thriller set on a New England island, pulls together genre twists and character drama under creator Katie Dippold and director Hiro Murai. The series stars Matthew Rhys as the mayor fighting superstition and economic decline while a supernatural mystery unfolds.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles, a limited family comedy, follows Elle Fanning’s fresh‑out‑of‑college writer as she balances a newborn, debt, and a shrinking job market. Created by David E. Kelley, the show features a star‑studded cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, and Nicole Kidman.

Both series drop new episodes weekly, with the Apple TV subscription priced at $12.99 per month, or discounted through Apple One. Viewers can expect fresh content each Wednesday while the platform continues to build a catalog of high‑quality originals.
