*This week, 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, 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.
“When you bring the kids into it, that’s where the terror really is — and you’re forced to confront your accountability for what’s being thrust upon your family and especially your children,” shared Adams about what she relates to in the story of “Cape Fear.” “That level of terror you would feel as a parent is what I really clung on to. I love having the opportunity to take the 10 episodes and explore the character.”
The 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.

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studios 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 through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP, where he’s been based since 2017.
