Amy Adams to Star in Apple's 'Cape Fear' Series

The Oscar and Emmy nominee will star with Javier Bardem in the drama and serve as an executive producer.

Amy Adams will star opposite Javier Bardem in the thriller, which counts Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese — who teamed for a 1991 remake of the original 1962 film — among its executive producers. As with the two films (and the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners that served as their source material), the Cape Fear series will follow the events when a killer, Max Cady (Bardem), is released from prison and begins to harass the couple he deems responsible for his sentence, married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden. Her recent credits include Nightbitch, Disenchanted and The Woman in the Window; she’s also set to star in and produce the feature comedy Lazy Susans.
