Brie Larson to Star in FX Limited Series "Cry Wolf"
Brie Larson is set to star alongside Olivia Colman in the limited series 'Cry Wolf,' which has officially been greenlit at FX.
The show was first reported to be in the works in February with Colman attached in one of the lead roles.
Sarah Treem serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner, with both Larson and Colman executive producing in addition to starring.
The series is described as psychological family thriller following 'a social worker (Colman) and a mother (Larson) thrust into crisis when the mother's teenage daughter alleges abuse, pushing both women to their limits as they navigate an impossible situation.'
'Cry Wolf' is inspired by the Danish TV series 'Ulven Kommer' created by Maja Jul Larsen.
Treem, Colman and Ed Sinclair of South of the River, and Melissa Bernstein of Special Interests brought the project to FX. All are executive producing along with Larsen, Christian Rank, and Claudia Saganario on behalf of DR Sales, the format arm of DR for which the original Danish series was produced. FX Productions is the studio.
The role keeps Colman in business with FX, as the highly-celebrated actress has popped up in multiple episodes of the network's hit dramedy 'The Bear.'
She also played Miss Havisham in FX's limited series adaptation of 'Great Expectations' in 2023. Her other TV credits include 'The Crown,' 'Fleabag,' 'Broadchurch,' 'The Night Manager,' and 'Heartstopper.'
Larson broke out in 2015 with her starring role in the film 'Room,' for which she won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and numerous other accolades.
She has since gone on to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, having appeared in four films as the character to date. Her other credits include 'Short Term 12,' 'Trainwreck,' 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,' and 'The Glass Castle.'
In television, Larson previously starred in the Showtime series 'United States of Tara' and earned an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her role in the Apple TV+ series 'Lessons in Chemistry.'

Ryan Reynolds Teases Deadpool's Possible Return in "Avengers: Doomsday"
Yara Sameh Is the foul-mouthed Marvel hero finally joining Earth's Mightiest Heroes? Ryan Reynolds posted Tuesday a cryptic Instagram post teasing fans about the possibility of returning as Deadpool in "Avengers: Doomsday." The post shows a graffiti version of the Avengers logo. He did not include any caption. The logo was previously seen on a flag in 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine" during a scene where Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine were captured. The photo in the post appears to have been taken from a July 2024 Reddit post, where a user posted pictures of several custom Marvel shirts in anticipation of "Deadpool & Wolverine." However, Reynolds' posting the Avengers logo without comment, as filming on "Avengers: Doomsday" is underway, stirred speculation that he could be preparing to announce his involvement in the movie. "If you are saying what I think you're saying, I'm actually gonna scream," a comment on the post read. Reynolds was notably missing from the lengthy "Avengers: Doomsday" cast list that Marvel unveiled in March during an hours-long live stream, where every individual star's name was revealed one at a time. But after the stream ended, Marvel hinted that it was not the complete cast list – and that other actors could be joining the movie. "There's always room for more," the studio teased. The Merc with a Mouth was last seen in "Deadpool & Wolverine," which brought him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. While the movie was a massive hit, no sequel has been announced nor has it been confirmed where or when fans will see Deadpool next. During a Variety Actors on Actors segment with Andrew Garfield in December, Reynolds said he would like to see Deadpool function more as a supporting character going forward. "If he comes back, it's going to be in someone's else's movie," he said. Reynolds also told Time magazine in April that he was "writing a little something right now that is an ensemble" involving Deadpool, but did not reveal details. The announced cast list for "Avengers: Doomsday" does include one star from "Deadpool & Wolverine:" Channing Tatum, who made his debut as Gambit in the 2024 "Deadpool" film. Other stars confirmed for the next "Avengers" include Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
