‘Henry’s Ebb’: Release Date, Cast and More About a ‘Widows Bay’ Favorite’s Next Scary Ride
Widow’s Bay certainly did not believe in giving its residents a peaceful island getaway. The Apple TV+ comedy-horror series turned a failing New England town into a slow-burn nightmare, complete with a centuries-old demonic pact, a history of 1600s cannibalism, and an island still haunted by its gruesome past. With Richard Warren at the centre of its dark history, the fictional community had more than its fair share of reasons to fear the night.
And it seems one of the cast members is ready to trade one nightmare for another, this time with a new horror project titled Henry’s Ebb.
Henry's Ebb cast
The Widow’s Bay actor we mentioned earlier is none other than Kingston Rumi Southwick, who takes the lead in Henry’s Ebb as its titular Henry. Joining him is Banks Repeta, best known for Armageddon Time and The Black Phone, as Ebb, Henry’s complex and rather unsettling imaginary best friend. The central duo already sounds like a recipe for psychological horror.
The cast also features Ashley Shelton as Shannon, Henry’s unpredictable mother, alongside Braxton Alexander as Nick and Will A. Holland as Grant. Rounding out the ensemble are Rebecca Koon, Austin Willard, Rebecca Deese, Katie Kuang, and Lee Spencer. With the faces behind this eerie story accounted for, the next question is when audiences can expect the nightmare to begin.
Henry Ebb's release date
Henry’s Ebb is making its first big appearance on November 11, 2026, when the psychological horror film premieres at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) in Estonia. The festival debut marks the first opportunity for audiences to experience the unsettling story on screen. Following its premiere, online ticket sales for theatrical screenings are expected to begin.
As for streaming, viewers will have to wait a little longer before adding this nightmare to their watchlists. No digital or streaming release date has been confirmed yet, with Bridge Independent currently handling domestic sales and distribution rights. A platform such as Netflix, Prime Video, or Apple TV+ remains unannounced, but there is more to uncover about the story itself, just like Letitia Wright's supernatural horror venture.
What is Henry's Ebb going to be about?
Set in the southeastern United States in 1998, Henry’s Ebb follows a young boy named Henry who runs away from his unpredictable and abusive single mother in search of a fresh start. His destination is his estranged father, a man he barely remembers but hopes might offer the better life he desperately needs. However, this road trip comes with rather unusual company.
Henry is joined by Ebb, his bold and fearless imaginary best friend, originally created as a refuge from his troubled childhood. As the pair travel through the American South, their once-comforting friendship takes a sinister turn, with Ebb becoming increasingly manipulative, abrasive, and controlling. What begins as a protective childhood fantasy soon threatens Henry’s grip on reality. With psychological horror, a fractured friendship, and an increasingly disturbing journey at its center, Henry’s Ebb already looks like one unsettling ride worth keeping an eye on.
