Be not afraid of Amy Adams, Javier Bardem, and Patrick Wilson in first look at Apple TV's Cape Fear

The streamer has also shared an official logline for the series, which reads: “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.” 

Of course, that premise is likely pretty familiar to anyone who’s not only seen Scorsese’s film, but J. Lee Thompson’s 1962 film or John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners, upon which all of these are based. That said, Apple TV’s take on Cape Fear will run for 10 episodes, so we can expect some, if not different, at least additional stuff compared to either of the films. Actors CCH Pounder, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, Jamie Hector, Malia Pyles, and Anna Baryshnikov also feature in the cast. The first two episodes of Cape Fear premiere on Apple TV on June 5, followed by weekly releases every Friday through July 31.
