Apple TV+’s Cape Fear series adaptation has just added The Conjuring franchise veteran Patrick Wilson to its cast. The 10-episode series hails from Nick Antosca, best known for Channel Zero, who serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer.

The official logline reads: “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden when Max Cady, a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.“ The series is described as a tense, contemporary thriller that examines America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century. In it, a storm is coming for a pair of married attorneys when an infamous killer from their past gets released after years in prison.

Amy Adams will play Anna Bowden, and Javier Bardem is set to play the villain, Max Cady. Wilson’s role in the series is still unknown, though he would likely play Anna’s husband, Tom Bowden.

Filmmaking heavyweights Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg serve as exec producers on the series, which is based on John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners, which was adapted into 1962’s Cape Fear starring Gregory Peck, and Scorsese’s 1991 remake with Robert De Niro. 

Further casting news are expected to emerge soon, so stay tuned.
