Hulu announced the renewal of ‘Furious’ for a second season following strong performance metrics for the thriller series. The eight-episode first season concludes on August 31, with viewership reportedly increasing week over week since the show’s July 27 debut on the platform.
The series stars Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black, who pursues a mysterious female serial killer portrayed by Lola Petticrew. The show explores the intersection of their respective quests for justice as their paths converge and moral boundaries become ambiguous. The cast includes Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Scoot McNairy in main roles, with guest appearances from Jake Lacy, Rob Delaney, Hope Davis, Rob Yang and Steve Way.
‘Furious’ originates from creator and executive producer Elizabeth Meriwether, known for her work on ‘New Girl,’ ‘The Dropout’ and ‘Dying for Sex.’ The psychological thriller draws loose inspiration from the 1987 film ‘Black Widow’ directed by Bob Rafelson. Hulu first announced the series order in March 2025.
Rossum executive produces alongside Ronald Bass, Matt Olmstead and Sam Hoffman through Composition 8. Brian Kirk executive produced and directed the first two episodes. The show is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television. Variety’s chief TV critic offered a favorable review, noting the quality of the ensemble cast and characterizing the series as a substantial examination of female victimhood and unconventional character trajectories.
