Javier Bardem to Star in ‘Cape Fear’ TV Series at Apple, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese to Produce


Apple TV+ has given a series order to a series adaptation of "Cape Fear," with Javier Bardem set for one of the lead roles.

Per the official logline, “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.” The series is based on both the John D. MacDonald novel “The Executioners,” which inspired Gregory Peck’s 1962Universal Pictures feature “Cape Fear,” as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese and produced by Spielberg, with Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte in the lead roles. This marks the latest Apple project for Bardem, who is also set to star in the film “F1” for the media arm of the tech giant.
