An upcoming Apple TV+ and Peacock mini series, Cape Fear reimagines one of suspense fiction's most enduring stories for a new generation. Inspired by John D. MacDonald's novel The Executioners and its acclaimed 1962 and 1991 film adaptations, the series follows a family whose lives are upended by the return of a dangerous man with a long-held grudge. This fresh take on the classic thriller combines psychological tension and modern storytelling – exploring obsession, revenge and the lengths people will go to protect those they love.
