Amy Adams Joins “Cape Fear” TV Series

Amy Adams is set to star opposite Javier Bardem in the Apple TV+ series reimagining of “Cape Fear” that will be executive produced by both Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

Nick Antosca (“A Friend of the Family,” “The Act”) is writing and will showrun the ten-episode series which has a full order and green light at the streamer.

Dubbed a “tense, Hitchcockian thriller” and “examination of America’s 21st century obsession with true crime,” the film otherwise retains the story of two happily married attorneys, Anna Bowden (Adams) and Tom Bowden, who face a growing storm when a notorious killer from their past named Max Cady (Bardem) gets out of prison.

The new take is based on the novel “The Executioners” which was the source material for the 1962 film with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. It will also be heavily inspired by the 1991 adaptation directed by Scorsese which memorably starred Robert De Niro as Cady along with Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis.

Key casting of the husband and daughter has yet to be announced. Adams and Bardem will both executive produce along with Alex Hedlund, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.

Adams most recently starred in “Nightbitch” and has the comedy “Lazy Susans” on the way.
