Stephen King Endorses Apple TV's Horror Series 'Widow's Bay' and Comedy Crime Thriller 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed
Renowned author Stephen King, known for his iconic horror novels, has shown his support for Apple TV's horror series "Widow's Bay," which has been renewed for a second season. The show follows Mayor Tom Loftis as he tries to transform an island into a luxury destination, only to uncover its haunted past. King also praised another Apple TV series, "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed," a comedy crime thriller with a Hitchcockian vibe and a stellar performance by Tatiana Maslany as a fact-checker caught in a web of chaos and secrets. Both shows have garnered critical acclaim, with "Widow's Bay" receiving high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and gaining recognition from industry figures like Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima. While King appreciates the tension and comedy in both series, he leans towards the darker tone of "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed," highlighting its Hitchcockian qualities. Both shows feature talented casts and are available for streaming on Apple TV.
