- Apple TV's Cape Fear series finally has a trailer
- It will arrive on the streaming service on June 5
- The trailer gives a first look at Javier Bardem as the iconic villain, Max Cady
Apple TV's Cape Fear series has been on my radar for a while, and I was so excited to see the first trailer. The horror-crime movie remains one of Scorsese's best works, and I'm feeling good about the TV adaptation.
Cape Fear sees Javier Bardem stepping into the shoes of Max Cady, a man who is fresh out of prison and seeking revenge on the public defenders who hid evidence from him.
In the first-look trailer, we also get a look at happily married attorneys Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom (Patrick Wilson), who seem to be living the perfect life. Until Cady shows up, of course, giving them exactly what he believes they deserve.
Take a look at the unsettling new trailer below before the series arrives on June 5.
What have fans been saying about Apple TV's Cape Fear?
So far, comments on the YouTube trailer have been positive. Many people are just as excited about the show as I am, with one user writing: "Kudos to the editor of this trailer! Great stuff."
Another praised Bardem's portrayal of Cady, saying: "Javier Bardem can do anything can’t wait to see this, looks awesome!", with someone else echoing those sentiments, adding: "Javi is already creeping me out just from the trailer."
The casting for Cape Fear is definitely great, and with both Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese executive producing alongside series creator Nick Antosca, I'm feeling hopeful this will be considered one of the best Apple TV shows.
And as a Simpsons fan, I have appreciated all the memes about this already, referencing that iconic Sideshow Bob episode. It just proves how iconic Cape Fear still is.
We'll have to wait and see for ourselves when the series arrives this summer, but the trailer is certainly promising.
