\n\tSPOILERS: This post contains details about the Cape Fear<\/a> episode \u2018Phantom Sensations<\/strong>\u2018<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a nod to the source material\u2019s previous adaptation, this week\u2019s episode of Cape Fear was a long time coming for creator Nick Antosca<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Apple TV+<\/a> series showrunner recently noted that he \u201calways wanted\u201d Juliette Lewis<\/a> to join the cast after she starred in the 1991 Martin Scorsese-helmed Cape Fear, based on the 1962 film and the 1957 John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. He also worked with the Oscar-nominated actress on his 2019 Hulu limited series The Act.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI always wanted Juliette to be in it,\u201d he told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI knew from that point, from even just the initial conversation about the rights, that I would love to have her be in it because she showed up for one episode in The Act. She was so great. And so I wanted to work with her again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAntosca added, \u201cYears later, when we were actually making the show, we called her and said, \u2018Hey, remember I talked about that a little bit \u2014 you want to come do it?\u2019 And fortunately she was available.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNoting he\u2019s \u201calways been a fan\u201d of Lewis, Antosca raved, \u201cI obviously tremendously admired her performance in the 1991 Cape Fear movie, as well as Natural Born Killers and tons of other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Friday\u2019s episode \u2018Phantom Sensations\u2019, Lewis mostly appears in a hoodie and face mask, stalking the ex-convicted felon Max Cady (Javier Bardem) until he gets home to find that she\u2019s broken into his house and left him a video message, which sends him into a violent rage.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso making a cameo in the episode is Martin Scorsese\u2019s daughter Francesca, playing an influencer discussing the case in a video on social media. Martin serves as an executive producer on the series with Steven Spielberg.<\/p>\n

\n\tApple TV\u2019s Cape Fear stars Bardem as brutal ex-con Max Cady, who goes after DA Tom (Patrick Wilson) and attorney Anna Bowden (Amy Adams), the married couple who is responsible for him going to prison 17 years before.<\/p>\n
