Apple TV+’s “Cape Fear series adaptation has just added another familiar face to its cast. Variety reports that The Conjuring and Insidious franchise stalwart Patrick Wilson has joined the series.

The 10-episode series hails from “Channel Zero creator  Nick Antosca, who serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer.

The official logline reads, “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden when Max Cady, a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.

Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg executive produce the series based on both John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners, which was adapted into 1962’s Cape Fear starring Gregory Peck, and Scorsese’s 1991 remake with Robert De Niro

The new series is being produced by UCP and Amblin Television. Adass and Bardem are also executive producers alongside Antosca, Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat, and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.
