Adams, Bardem Star in 'Cape Fear' Series

Apple TV+ is set to release a 10-episode adaptation of 'Cape Fear,' with Amy Adams and Javier Bardem leading the cast as Anna and Max Cady, respectively. The series is based on John D. MacDonald's novel 'The Executioners,' which was previously adapted into films in 1962 and 1991. This new adaptation will also feature Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg as executive producers, adding significant prestige to the project. The plot follows the Bowden couple, played by Adams and an as-yet-uncast actor, as they are terrorized by Bardem's character, Cady, a criminal seeking revenge after his release from prison. This adaptation promises to update the story for modern audiences by exploring America's fascination with true crime. No release date has been announced yet, and the production is still in its preliminary stages.
