Olivia Colman's upcoming psychological thriller series has been given a major cast update, with a fellow Oscar winner joining the show.
Cry Wolf centres on a social worker and mother who are thrown into an "impossible situation" when a claim of abuse is made.
It has now been revealed that Marvel star Brie Larson has joined in the role of the mother, with Colman starring as the social worker.
The FX series sees the pair "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 has been inspired by Danish show Ulven Kommer, with The Affair's Sarah Treem set to act as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Colman and Larson are also on board as executive producers.
