Apple TV decides we deserve this Cape Fear teaser

Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson are absolutely terrified in the first footage from the series.

Apple TV decides we deserve this Cape Fear teaser

Nearly a decade after Sharp Objects, Amy Adams is entangled in another murder plot in the American South, and it seems like she might be oh-for-two in getting the right person locked up for their crimes. This morning, Apple TV shared the first teaser for its upcoming series Cape Fear, based on Martin Scorsese’s 1991 film of the same name and the 1957 novel The Executioners upon which Scorsese’s film is based. The first teaser doesn’t reveal a ton of new info about the series’ plot, but it certainly sets the tone. If the title alone wasn’t enough of a clue, Anna (Adams) and Tom (Patrick Wilson) should be very afraid. 

“[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,” reads an official synopsis provided by Apple TV. Based on Anna and Tom’s reaction to seeing Max out and about, they’re taking this desire for revenge very seriously. 

Cape Fear premieres on Apple TV on June 5 with two episodes. New episodes follow weekly through July 31.
