Javier Bardem will haunt your dreams as Max Cady in Apple TV‘s Cape Fear limited series. Deadline has your first look at the trailer for the 10-episode psychological drama from Nick Antosca above.
The show premieres on Friday, June 5, with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 31.
The Cape Fear series adaptation—from writer and executive producer Nick Antosca— is billed as a tense, Hitchcockian psychological thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century.
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, the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance.
Patrick Wilson, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, and Malia Pyles round out the ensemble cast, which also features CCH Pounder, Jamie Hector, and Anna Baryshnikov in supporting roles.

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio 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 1991 remake directed by Scorsese.
The series is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Creator Nick Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat, and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey produce alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television. Adams and Bardem executive produce. Morten Tyldum directed the pilot and served as executive producer. The series is developed and produced through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP.
