Apple TV releases a new version of thriller Cape Fear. This latest limited series adaptation is star-studded, with Amy Adams, Javier Bardem and Patrick Wilson leading the cast.
Inspired by the 1991 film, Cape Fear, a lawyer couple’s world is turned upside down when a murderer they helped convict is released from prison…
The new Cape Fear premieres on Apple TV today, June 4, with the first two episodes available to watch right now. Then, a new episode is released each week on the streaming service, culminating in the finale on July 31.
Some may wonder if this story deserves another adaptation. The notable 1991 film Cape Fear (directed by Martin Scorsese) was based on the original 1962 Cape Fear film. The Apple TV remake is the first time the story has been brought to television.
While the basic story structure has been included for the ride, Apple TV Cape Fear features modern settings and story lines, including modern technology like phones and a true crime podcast. But the gist is the same: a mentally unstable killer is out of prison and ready to terrorize the people who helped imprison him.
Reviews of the series have been generally positive, with Javier Bardem’s manic portrayal of the unhinged Max being described as outstanding. It currently has a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
