Walter Presents Picks Up Danish Drama Cry Wolf for the U.K.

Walter Presents has acquired the U.K rights for the Danish psychological mystery series Cry Wolf.

Cry Wolf is the story of a teenage girl who has written a vivid school essay detailing her stepfather’s physical assaults. The parents deny the accusations and take their own daughter to court, creating some ambiguity as to whether this abuse actually took place. The show is set against the backdrop of Denmark’s rigid child protection process.

Cry Wolf premiered last October in DR’s prime-time slot. It will come to Channel 4 in 2022.

Walter Iuzzolino, curator and co-founder of Walter Presents, said: “Cry Wolf is a character-driven, tense and emotional series which adds a totally new voice to our spectacular, existing slate of Danish drama. DR Sales consistently delivers high-class series with themes and powerful stories that have the ability to resonate with U.K. audiences and beyond.”
