Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring franchise) has joined Amy Adams and Javier Bardem in Apple TV+ series Cape Fear, from Nick Antosca, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.
Cape Fear is based on John D. MacDonald’s novel The Executioners — which inspired the 1962 feature of the same name directed by J. Lee Thompson from storyboards devised by original director Alfred Hitchcock — and the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese.
The 10-episode series is described as a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century. In Cape Fear, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda (Adams) and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (played by Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.
Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, Alex Hedlund executive produces alongside Antosca for Eat The Cat; and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey EP alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television. The series is developed and produced through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP.
