Must be good or something!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Created by <strong>Katie Dippold<\/strong>\u00a0and directed by\u00a0<strong>Hiro Murai<\/strong>, the series follows \u201cMayor Tom Loftis (<strong>Matthew Rhys<\/strong>), desperate to revive his struggling community.\u00a0 There\u2019s no wifi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed.\u00a0 He wants these people to respect him.\u00a0 They don\u2019t.\u00a0 They think he is soft and cowardly.\u00a0 And he is. But Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination.\u00a0 Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right.\u00a0 After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also starring are\u00a0<strong>Kate O\u2019Flynn<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Stephen Root<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kingston Rumi Southwick<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin Carroll<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Dale Dickey<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>K Callan,<\/strong>\u00a0and<strong>\u00a0Jeff Hiller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dippold executive produced. Murai executive produced through his banner Chum Films with\u00a0Carver Karaszewski,\u00a0Claudia Shin,\u00a0and Rhys.
