Amy Adams (American Hustle, Arrival, Nightbitch) has joined the cast of Apple TV+'s upcoming Cape Fear series alongside star Javier Bardem, Variety reports today.
Adam will also executive produce the show alongside Bardem, Nick Antosca (also writer and showrunner), Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.
The 10-episode series, described as ‘a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century', is based on both John D. MacDonald’s novel “The Executioners”, and Scorsese's 1991 remake of the original 1962 Cape Fear.
In Cape Fear, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda (Adams) and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (played by Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.
First announced back in 2023, the Cape Fear series earned a green light once Bardem was attached.
In J. Lee Thompson's original film, Max Cady was played by Robert Mitchum, while Robert De Niro took on the role for Scorsese's version, in which Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis also starred.
Adams' turn in the HBO miniseries Sharp Objects earned her both Emmy and Golden Globes nominations.
Look out for more on Cape Fear as we get it.
