Episode Details

Matthew Rhys is dominating awards season with two Emmy nods—one for lead actor in a comedy series for the quirky, cursed-island hit “Widow’s Bay,” and another for lead in the limited series “The Beast in Me,” where he plays a sinister real estate developer. He’s also up for an executive producer award on “Widow’s Bay,” showcasing his versatility across wildly different roles. Rhys admits he doesn’t see the characters as vastly different, crediting “Widow’s Bay” for tapping into audiences’ hunger for fresh, unpredictable TV—a sentiment shared by co-star Betty Gilpin. The show, initially uncertain to land, became a viral sensation thanks to its dark humor and mystery, earning Rhys constant fan recognition. As an exec producer, he’s already buzzing for Season 2, thrilled to see how the writers will top the first season’s chaotic blend of horror, comedy, and intrigue.
