Overview
- Apple TV will launch the limited series on June 5 with a two-episode debut, then release new episodes each Friday through July 31.
- In the new premise, Max Cady believes two attorneys conspired to send him to prison 17 years earlier and presents himself as a good guy while plotting revenge.
- Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson star as married lawyers Anna and Tom Bowden, with Javier Bardem portraying Cady as a fresh interpretation of the iconic villain.
- Showrunner Nick Antosca says the ten-part story is built to reflect current fears and family pressures rather than repeat earlier film versions.
- The project lists Scorsese and Spielberg as executive producers and draws on John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel that also underpinned the 1962 original and Scorsese’s 1991 remake.
