Apple TV has a new version of “Cape Fear,” and it starts on Friday with the first two episodes. Javier Bardem plays Max Cady, a very dangerous man who wants revenge. The story is about a family in Savannah, Georgia, whose life is changed by him.

Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson play the parents in the family. Cady gets into their lives after he is free from prison. The showrunner, Nick Antosca, said he wanted a new version that fits today.

The series has 10 parts, so it can show the fear slowly. Antosca said he wanted to show the family’s growing fear and pain. The show also uses modern things like smartphones, drones, AI, and high-tech watching.
