Brie Larson Joins Olivia Colman in ‘Cry Wolf’ Limited Series at FX

FX has picked up a limited series called Cry Wolf, with Brie Larson signing on to star opposite Olivia Colman.

The six-episode drama comes from Sarah Treem (The Affair) and FX Productions and is based on a Danish series, Ulven Kommer, by Maja Jul Larsen. Oscar winners (and The Bear guest stars) Colman and Larson will play, respectively, a social worker and a mother thrown into crisis when the mother’s teenage daughter alleges abuse. The allegations “push both women to their limits as they navigate an impossible situation,” per the show’s logline.

Cry Wolf went into development at FX in February. Treem, Colman and her South of the River Pictures partner Ed Sinclair and Melissa Bernstein of Special Interests brought the project to the Disney-owned outlet. They will executive produce with Alena Smith, Ulven Kommer creator Larsen, and Christian Rank and Claudia Saganario on behalf of DR Sales, the format arm of Danish broadcaster DR.

Colman landed an Emmy nomination Tuesday for her guest role on season three of The Bear. She’ll next be seen in The Roses opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, which is due in theaters Aug. 29, and has a lead role in Netflix’s Pride and Prejudice remake that’s set to begin production later this year. She is repped by United Agents and Johnson Shapiro.

Larson was a 2024 Emmy nominee for her lead role in Apple’s Lessons in Chemistry (and also shared in the show’s nod for best limited series as an executive producer). The Captain Marvel star’s recent credits also include a guest appearance on the current season of The Bear, Fast X and Netflix’s animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, where she reprised her role as Envy Adams from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Larson is repped by WME, 2PM Sharp and attorney Robert Offer.

In addition to Showtime’s The Affair, which she created and ran, Treem’s writing and producing credits also include In Treatment and House of Cards. She is repped by CAA and Johnson Shapiro.

I thought it was going to be a werewolf story from the name. Sadly no
