Apple TV Releases Cape Fear Series Trailer

Apple TV has released the official trailer for "Cape Fear," a new 10-episode limited series adaptation of John D. MacDonald's 1957 novel "The Executioners." The psychological thriller stars Oscar winner Javier Bardem as Max Cady, a convicted killer seeking revenge against attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden, played by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. The first two episodes premiere globally on the streaming service on Friday, June 5, 2026, with subsequent episodes airing weekly through July 31.

In the series, Anna and Tom, a married couple who played opposing roles in Cady's trial and contributed to his 17-year imprisonment for a murder he claims he did not commit, face his wrath upon his release. This marks a key departure from prior adaptations, where only the male lawyer was directly involved. The Bowdens now have two children, Natalie, played by Lily Collias, and Zack, played by Joe Anders, expanding Cady's targets in his campaign of terror. The ensemble cast also includes CCH Pounder, Jamie Hector, Malia Pyles and Anna Baryshnikov.

The trailer opens with Bardem's Cady posing a chilling question: "Let me ask you a question. What is your worst fear?" It previews the escalating tension...
