Cape Fear Trailer with Bardem, Adams, and Wilson
Apple TV has unveiled the trailer for Cape Fear, the new psychological horror thriller showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca, 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.
Fear will take hold this summer when the 10-episode limited series makes its global debut on Friday, June 5, 2026, with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 31, 2026, on Apple TV.
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.
Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Patrick Wilson, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, and Malia Pyles round out the ensemble cast, and the supporting cast includes CCH Pounder, Jamie Hector, and Anna Baryshnikov.
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 Steven Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Creator Nick Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat, and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey produce 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 through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP, where he’s been based since 2017.
