The upcoming streaming series is inspired by the 1991 remake directed by Scorsese and produced by Spielberg. A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when Max Cady (Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance. With that in mind, we have an official teaser trailer ready to offer you the best look to date, one that sets a perfectly dark, twisted tone.

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, Apple TV's Cape Fear is based on both the novel The Executioners, which inspired Gregory Peck's Universal Pictures feature in 1962 of the same name, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Martin 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. Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. The series is developed and produced through Antosca's overall deal at UCP, where he's been based since 2017.
