‘Furious’ Renewed for Second Season at Hulu
Hulu has renewed serial-killer thriller Furious for a second season, days before its first-season finale is released on 31 August. The decision reflects the programme’s strong critical reception and apparent early audience interest, while allowing its central FBI agent character to continue in a likely new investigation.
Created by Elizabeth Meriwether and loosely based on the 1987 film Black Widow, the series stars Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black, pursuing a female serial killer played by Lola Petticrew. Sources expect the show to enter Nielsen’s streaming top 10 for its opening week; the first season also features Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Scoot McNairy, with several recurring cast members.

Furious is a crime thriller centred on FBI agent Alice Black, played by Emmy Rossum, and her pursuit of a female serial killer, played by Lola Petticrew. It was created by Elizabeth Meriwether and loosely draws on the 1987 film Black Widow.
The FBI investigates serious crimes across the United States, and television dramas often use its agents to explore how investigators track suspects and build cases. Furious combines that procedural setting with a continuing story about its central characters, and its first season also features Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Scoot McNairy.
