About the Original Series: Ulven Kommer
- Cry Wolf is based on the critically acclaimed Danish drama Ulven Kommer (released internationally as Cry Wolf), which premiered in 2020.
- The original series was a massive success for Danish broadcaster DR, sweeping the Danish Academy (Robert) Awards, including Best TV Series and Best Actor/Actress awards.
- Created by Maja Jul Larsen (who also serves as an EP on the FX version), the show was praised for its noir approach to social work.
- Maja Jul Larsen previously wrote for the global hit Borgen.
- While the FX version moves the setting to the U.S., it retains the core central conflict: the "he-said, she-said" ambiguity that forces the audience to question their own biases regarding truth and protection.
