"The 10-episode series will premiere on the streamer in June 2026, but Apple unveiled a first look during the Apple TV press day this week. There, Antosca teased his plans for the new Cape Fear alongside its stars, Amy Adams and The Conjuring's Patrick Wilson. The duo play a pair of happily-married lawyers whose idyllic life immediately unravels when Max Cady (Bardem), the notorious serial murderer they convicted years prior, is released from prison."
"The teaser unveiled during the press day shows us Bardem as we've never seen him, with an uncanny, icy-blue stare and tattoos of eyes etched all down his back. It's clear this version of Cape Fear means to tackle our present-day obsession with true crime and charismatic felons - but is this the kind of story that can be stretched out across 10 episodes?"
Nick Antosca reboots Cape Fear as a 10-episode series on Apple TV in June 2026, produced with Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson star as married lawyers whose lives unravel when Max Cady, the serial murderer they convicted, is released from prison. Javier Bardem portrays Cady with an uncanny icy-blue stare and eye tattoos down his back. The series aims to explore present-day obsession with true crime and charismatic felons while emphasizing ambient dread. Antosca acknowledges the risk of stretching a story built on elemental, two-hour terror into a ten-episode format and intends to update themes for the era.
