The Executioners, written by American novelist John D. MacDonald in 1957, is regarded as one of the most intense psychological thrillers of its day. It served as the basis for two Cape Fear-titled motion pictures. The 1962 version, directed by J. Lee Thompson, features Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Polly Bergen.

Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lange starred in the 1991 version, which was directed by Martin Scorsese. A television version of Scorsese’s movie is currently under development. This is what we now know if you’re wondering when the Cape Fear TV Series will air.

This page contains all the information we currently know about the release date and details for the Cape Fear TV Series.

When Will the Cape Fear TV Series Be Released?

At most, the Cape Fear TV Series might debut in 2025. A television series based on Cape Fear was reportedly in development at Universal Content Productions, or UCP, as of November 2023, according to multiple sources.

Under the auspices of NBCUniversal’s Universal Studio Group, UCP has created films like Based on a True Story (2023) and Queer as Folk (2022). Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese are executive producing the show. The showrunner and creator will be Nick Antosca of Brand New Cherry Flavor.

The home network/streamer for the series was reportedly the subject of a bidding war. Peacock, Universal’s in-house streaming platform, was a strong contender, but it was also said that Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Hulu, and HBO were in the race. A recent Variety article claims that the show has concluded at Apple TV Plus.

In addition to being two of the greatest directors of all time, Scorsese and Spielberg are good friends. The 1991 movie was produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, and the future series will also be produced by Amblin Television. The Cape Fear TV Series may debut in 2025 at the latest if filming starts and is completed this year.

Based on the information available to us at the time of writing, this date is an estimate. Regarding the cast of the TV series Cape Fear, little is known. As soon as there is fresh information on the project, ComingSoon will notify users.
