- Javier Bardem stars as Max Cady, who is released from prison and targets attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden, played by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson.
- Nick Antosca creates and showruns the series, which Apple describes as a Hitchcockian psychological thriller that probes America’s fixation on true crime.
