- Apple TV announced on August 6 that it will present free, one-night-only screenings of the final three episodes of Widow’s Bay at six AMC locations.
- The screenings are set for Wednesday, August 12 at 7:30 p.m. local time in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco and will show three episodes that run about 33, 31 and 48 minutes.
- The event is presented with the Rutgers University Foundation to celebrate Katie Dippold, a Rutgers alumna who has been signed to an overall deal after the show was renewed for a second season.
