Do you feel safe?
Cape Fear streams in the US on two subscription services — AppleTV+ and AppleTV+ Amazon Channel — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is the full list and which to use.
After a convicted murderer is released from prison, he begins infiltrating the family of the married attorneys who helped send him away. This tense miniseries follows the family’s growing unease as an old legal battle brings a dangerous threat into their lives.

How to watch Cape Fear
Cape Fear is included with two different subscriptions — AppleTV+ and AppleTV+ Amazon Channel — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
AppleTV+ and AppleTV+ Amazon Channel stream it in 4K; the others top out at HD.
Cape Fear ended in 2026 after one season and 10 episodes, so what is listed above is the complete run — nothing new is coming.
Created by Nick Antosca and starring Amy Adams, Javier Bardem, Patrick Wilson and Joe Anders; it originally aired on Apple TV.
