Javier Bardem Stars in Scorsese-Spielberg 'Cape Fear' Adaptation

A new adaptation of 'Cape Fear' (French title 'Les Nerfs à vif') is being produced as a series, co-produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Javier Bardem plays the iconic role of Max Cady, described as a calm, almost animal predator lurking in the shadows. The cast also includes Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. The series was announced on France 24's 'À l'Affiche' program on May 28, 2026. The episode also featured David Mirailles, creator of 'Les Groos', an animated mini-series about male friendship that originated on TikTok and Instagram before becoming a series on Arte.tv, produced by Bobby Prod. Additionally, the show covered the Polish series 'Proud', which won an award at Séries Mania.
