Emmy Rossum Leads New Hulu Series “Furious”

The crime‑thriller series *Furious* premiered on Hulu (with later episodes on Disney+) on 27 July 2026. Emmy Rossum stars as FBI agent Alice Black, a former NYPD detective who pursues a serial killer, Catherine (Lola Petticrew), who targets powerful men. The show was created by Elizabeth Meriwether, known for *New Girl*, who said the drama aims to help viewers understand, rather than excuse, its damaged characters. Rossum also serves as an executive producer and discussed the challenge of portraying empathy for both the investigator and the killer without glorifying their violence. Co‑stars Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Scoot McNairy joined the cast, and the production incorporated research with real FBI agents handling sex‑trafficking cases. The series explores themes of sexual exploitation, trauma, and revenge, drawing a parallel to the Medusa myth and questioning societal protection of perpetrators versus victims.
