Amy Adams gets what she deserves in thrilling teaser trailer for Apple TV’s Cape Fear

This summer, fear doesn’t knock – it breaks in.

Inspired by the chilling legacy of Cape Fear, a new nightmare begins when Cape Fear premieres June 5th on Apple TV.

From executive producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg comes a relentless psychological thriller where the past refuses to stay buried.

Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson are Anna and Tom Bowden; successful, composed, and seemingly untouchable. Until now.

Because Max Cady is coming.

Played with terrifying intensity by Javier Bardem, Cady is the man they helped put behind bars. Now he’s free – and he hasn’t forgotten a thing. What begins as a quiet return spirals into something far more dangerous. A slow burn of dread. A game of control. A storm gathering just out of sight… until it’s too late.

Adapted for television by Nick Antosca, Cape Fear reimagines the iconic story first brought to the screen in 1962 and later redefined for a new generation – now stretched into a gripping, character-driven descent into obsession, guilt, and revenge.

This isn’t just a reckoning. It’s a hunt.

Cape Fear will be available to stream on Apple TV from June 5th, 2026.
