Hulu has greenlit a second season of its thriller series “Furious,” which has emerged as a standout performer for the streaming platform. The show, headlined by Emmy Rossum, has demonstrated strong audience engagement since debuting on July 27, with viewership climbing consistently week after week. The eight-episode first season will conclude with its finale airing on August 31.
Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the architect behind hits like “New Girl” and “The Dropout,” “Furious” centers on FBI agent Alice Black as she pursues a cunning female serial killer. The narrative explores the intersection of their worlds as the boundaries between justice and morality become increasingly complicated. Drawing inspiration from the 1987 film “Black Widow,” the series features Rossum alongside Lola Petticrew, Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Scoot McNairy in key roles.
Critics have responded positively to the inaugural season, with praise directed toward its ensemble cast and thematic depth. Meriwether serves as creator, writer and executive producer for the project, which is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television. The show’s renewal signals Hulu’s confidence in the series’ ability to continue attracting viewers in its second installment.
