Nov. 18 (UPI) — Cape Fear, a new series starring Javier Bardem, will soon land on Apple TV+, the streamer confirmed Monday.
Bardem joins Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg to executive produce.
“In Cape Fear, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (played by Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison,” an official synopsis reads. “The 10-episode series is a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century.”
The series was inspired by The Executioners, a novel that has since yielded two movie adaptions.
Bardem recently portrayed José Menéndez in Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menéndez Story. He also appeared in the Dune movies, and lended his voice to King Solon in Spellbound, which has not yet been released.
