  • Cape Fear has a creepy new trailer which sees Javier Bardem's Max Cady tormenting those who have wronged him
  • The full-length trailer comes after the gripping teaser, which was released in March
  • Cape Fear arrives on Apple TV on June 5, 2026

Cape Fear just got a horrifying new trailer, with the Apple TV series grabbing my full attention well ahead of its release on June 5.

Back in March, fans praised Javier Bardem's first look as villain Max Cady, and if you thought the teaser trailer was creepy, just wait until you see this one. The full trailer doesn't hold back and teases some of the sinister things Cady gets up to throughout the series.

Fresh out of prison, he's seeking revenge on the public defenders who hid evidence from him that would have changed his case. Turns out they messed with the wrong guy, and I've got chills.

Check out Cape Fear's official trailer below.

What do we know about Apple TV's Cape Fear?

Cape Fear centers on Anna and Tom Bowden, two attorneys who find themselves being tormented by a man they hid evidence from. Fresh out of prison, he'll stop at nothing to get his revenge on those who ruined his life.

The series stars Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson, CCH Pounder, and Javier Bardem in the leading roles, with a great supporting cast including Ron Perlman, Ted Levine, and Anna Baryshnikov.

Nick Antosca is the creator of the new Apple TV series with original Cape Fear director Martin Scorsese executive producing alongside Steven Spielberg. So, honestly, it could not be in better hands.

Apple TV has been diving into darker content recently, especially with the release of the horror-comedy series Widow's Bay being so successful. Hopefully, Cape Fear will follow in its footsteps and join our best Apple TV shows roundup.
