And while the entire sequence didn’t take long to film, it was nonetheless a physically exhausting experience that temporarily left its mark on O’Flynn.
“It was physically exhausting,” O’Flynn said of filming the Apple TV show’s eighth episode. “I mean, it’s just me running and screaming for what seems like forever!

“I guess I never thought I’d be doing my own version of a Shout chase sequence,” O’Flynn told me. “It was surreal and surprising, and almost an out-of-body experience because I grew up watching those movies and other iconic horror movies.
“And then having a ‘final girl’ moment (I hadn’t heard of that until I started doing press for this show) with Patricia wielding a shotgun, it was really satisfying for Patricia specifically. She’s the one who finally found her own power and becomes that badass at the end, which was very satisfying for me.”

widow’s bay Guest star Hamish Linklater didn’t reveal anything when I asked him if he knew season 2 was in the works. However, considering O’Flynn is a key cast member, surely showrunner Katie Dippold had told him privately that Apple had greenlit another 10-part installment?
“My lips are sealed,” O’Flynn responded when I pressed her on the issue. “What I will say is that, like Patricia, I would happily continue living and playing in this weird and wonderful world because I love working with everyone on the show.”
