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 was first reported to be in development in 2023, though no platform nor cast was attached at that time. Apple has ordered 10 episodes. As was reported in 2023, Nick Antosca will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese will also executive produce.
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.
