The first trailer for Cape Fear has already seen the light and shows a disturbing Javier Bardem in the role of Max Cady, an ex-convict who returns ready to take revenge on those who sent him to prison. The preview makes clear the dark and psychological tone of this new version of the classic. 

The story follows a married couple of lawyers played by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson, whose perfect life crumbles when Bardem's character reappears after being released from prison. From there, a game of tension and threats begins that pushes the family to the limit. 

The series, which will premiere on June 5, 2026 on Apple TV+, will have 10 episodes and is backed by two big names in cinema, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, which has skyrocketed anticipation around this thriller that promises to be one of the most powerful releases of the year.
