Cape Fear First Look with Javier Bardem and Amy Adams
Today, Apple TV announced that its new psychological horror thriller Cape Fear will make its global debut on Friday, June 5, 2026, with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 31, 2026.
The highly anticipated 10-episode limited series was created, showrun, and executive-produced by Nick Antosca and executive-produced by Academy Award-winners Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, with Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem and Academy Award-nominee Amy Adams starring and executive-producing.
Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Patrick Wilson, CCH Pounder, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, Jamie Hector, Malia Pyles, and Anna Baryshnikov round out the ensemble cast.
Inspired by the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson) when Max Cady (Javier Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance.
Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, Cape Fear is based on both the novel The Executioners, which inspired Gregory Peck’s Universal Pictures feature (1962) of the same name, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese.
The series is executive-produced by Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Creator Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat; and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television.
Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. The series is developed and produced under Antosca’s overall deal with UCP, where he has been based since 2017.
Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast with Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, and at the Apple site.
