AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Apple TV is releasing the Emmy-winning score for Widow's Bay on vinyl and CD via Mutant, complete with physical collectibles and a playable version of the show's fictional card game.
Fans of Apple TV's horror comedy hit Widow's Bay will have to wait until late 2027 or early 2028 for the second season, but a new surprise drop is bridging the gap. Polygon recently reported that Apple has teamed up with pop-culture collectible company Mutant and Milan Records to launch a physical release of composer David Fleming's Emmy-winning score. Pre-orders for the project go live this Friday across three distinct physical formats.
The release leans heavily into the physical media revival and fandom culture with three purchasing tiers. The top-tier collectors vinyl box set costs 100 dollars and includes a two-record set pressed in sea hag blue and forest green, along with liner notes from showrunner Katie Dippold and Fleming. It also packs in physical props from the show, including a playable reproduction of the fictional Run card game, a 20-page book, prop newsprint, and a mayoral letterhead. For fans wanting a simpler setup, a standard 45 dollar vinyl edition and a 15 dollar CD are also on the way.
Releases like this highlight how modern television leans into tangible merchandise to keep communities engaged during long production hiatuses. By turning fictional in-universe items into real collectibles, the team behind Widow's Bay is giving dedicated viewers a new way to stay connected to the lore while waiting for the next chapter.
