The teaser hints at escalating tension as Anna and Tom begin to question their circumstances and the darkness that threatens their family. “I had a good life once, too,” Max ominously tells the couple, while Anna anxiously wonders, “Is there any way Max could know about what we did?”

Produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, Cape Fear draws inspiration from the novel “The Executioners,” which previously inspired both the original 1962 film starring Gregory Peck and Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake.

The series is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Antosca serves as showrunner and producer, joined by Alex Hedlund of Eat The Cat, along with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television. Adams and Bardem also hold executive producer credits, with Morten Tyldum directing the pilot.
