Written by Harry and Jack Williams, who enthralled viewers with their work, The Missing, The Widow brings the same gripping storyline that unravels at a masterful and intriguing pace for audiences. Although the show was panned by some for having a "White Savior" complex, few denied that the storytelling of the program was anything less than exceptional.

Kate has said that the shoot was one of the more interesting and physically grueling shoots she's ever been on. While filming in South Africa, she says that she passed out from the heat:
"It was incredibly hot — so hot that I ended up getting taken to the hospital one day for passing out," she explained. "I just keeled over into this very nice, huge actor, which was lucky."
She also said that the way the series was shot was unlike she's ever done before: she didn't know the ending until it was about time to film it. She spoked to DuJour magazine about the experience:
"There's eight episodes, so the first three months you're shooting any number of the first four of those episodes. I've never filmed like that, and I've also never done a shoot where I didn't know what was going to end up happening to the character. You're out there filming for two months and suddenly you go, 'Oh, this is the ending.'"
