\n\tEXCLUSIVE: William Jackson Harper<\/a> (The Good Place, The Morning Show) has joined the cast of FX<\/a>\u2018s limited series Cry Wolf<\/a>. The show hails from Sarah Treem (The Affair, In Treatment) and is inspired by the Danish series\u00a0Ulven Kommer\u00a0(Cry Wolf), created by Maja Jul Larsen.<\/p>\n

\n\tHarper joins the previously announced cast of Olivia Colman, Brie Larson, Shawn Hatosy, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Jack Greig.<\/p>\n

\n\tFX\u2019s Cry Wolf is a psychological family thriller following a social worker, Kath (Colman), and a mother, April (Larson), thrust into crisis when the mother\u2019s teenage daughter, Mia (Lind), alleges abuse, pushing both women to their limits as they navigate an impossible situation.<\/p>\n

\n\tHatosy plays April\u2019s husband and Mia\u2019s stepfather, who is at the center of the girl\u2019s abuse allegations. Greig plays April\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe understand Harper will play Arthur, Kath\u2019s supervisor at Child Protective Services, who has a good sense of humor. Production will begin imminently, we hear.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by FX Productions,\u00a0Cry Wolf\u00a0is executive produced by Treem, who serves as showrunner, Colman via her South of the River Pictures, Melissa Bernstein of Special Interests, and Larson.<\/p>\n

\n\tEmmy and Tony Nominee Harper was most recently seen starring in the fourth season of the Apple TV+ series\u00a0The Morning Show. He is perhaps best known for playing Chidi in NBC\u2019s\u00a0The Good Place, which earned him an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He received a Tony Award nomination for his work on Broadway in Anton Chekhov\u2019s\u00a0\u201cUncle Vanya.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUp next, he will lead the MGM+ series anthology series\u00a0American Hostage,\u00a0co-created and executive produced by Shawn Ryan and Eileen Myers. Additional TV credits include Netflix\u2019s\u00a0A Man In Full,\u00a0HBO Max\u2019s\u00a0Love Life, which he also executive produced, and Amazon\u2019s\u00a0The Underground Railroad.
