Patrick Wilson has joined the cast of Amy Adams and Javier Bardem for Apple TV’s ‘Cape Fear’ series adaptation.
The 10-episode series follows a happily married couple whose lives are turned upside down when a notorious killer from their past gets out of prison. Adams will play the wife, Anna, while Bardem will play the killer. Details of Wilson’s character have yet to be disclosed.
Based on the John D. MacDonald novel ‘The Executioners,’ as well as Gregory Peck and Scorsese’s films, from 1962 and 1991, the new series comes from creator and showrunner Nick Antosca with Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg set to executive produce.

The series has been described as a “tense, Hitchcockian thriller” and an “examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century.”
The latest adaptation comes from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Spielberg’s Amblin Television. Adass and Bardem are also executive producers on the project, alongside Antosca, Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat, and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.
Wilson’s upcoming projects include returning to the horror franchise with ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ and Noah Baumbach’s next film, ‘Jay Kelly.’
