As a fan of both Cape Fear films and a Javier Bardem semi Stan, imagine my excitement when Apple TV released the trailer for Cape Fear,” the new psychological horror thriller limited series which is being produced by Academy Award winners Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Also Academy Award winner Javier Bardem and Academy Award nominee Amy Adams are starring and executive producing.

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, Malia Pyles round out the ensemble cast and the supporting cast includes CCH Pounder, Jamie Hector and Anna Baryshnikov.

Cape Fear will take hold this summer when the 10-episode limited series 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 on Apple TV.
