Apple is adding Star power to three of their developing series 'Widows Bay,' 'Cape Fear' and 'Margo's got Money Troubles."

Apple TV+ is adding another Emmy winner to its talent roster. Matthew Rhys has signed on to star in and executive produce a series titled 'Widow’s Bay' at the streamer. The former Americans and Perry Mason star will play the mayor of a coastal New England town who refuses to believe his constituents’ warnings that the place is cursed.

Widow’s Bay comes from creator and showrunner Katie Dippold (The Heat, Haunted Mansion) and Apple Studios. Hiro Murai (Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) is on board to direct the pilot and executive produce. Apple TV+ gave the show a series order in September 2024. The Hollywood Reporter.

Multi-Emmy and Academy Award nominee Amy Adams (Nightbitch, American Hustle) will star in and executive produces the Apple TV+ series 'Cape Fear,' from Nick Antosca, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Adams will star opposite Javier Bardem who also exec produces.

Cape Fear is based on John D. MacDonald’s novel The Executioners — which inspired the 1962 feature of the same name directed by J. Lee Thompson from storyboards devised by original director Alfred Hitchcock — and the 1991 remake directed by Scorsese. Deadline

Hopefully it will be better than the 1991 version with Robert DeNiro which was a disaster in my view.
