Brie Larson to Star in FX Limited Series "Cry Wolf"
Yara Sameh
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.'
