Hulu launches thriller series Furious starring Emmy Rossum

Hulu’s new eight‑episode series Furious, created and written by Elizabeth “Liz” Meriwether, premiered on 27 July 2026. The drama follows FBI agent Alice Black, played by Emmy Rossum, as she hunts a serial killer who targets powerful men, a premise likened to the 1987 film Black Widow. The show blends crime‑thriller tension with a critique of systemic abuse, drawing comparisons to Killing Eve.

Rossum prepared for the role by consulting a psychologist to portray Alice’s trauma‑laden behavior, including self‑destructive dating habits and flashbacks to a violent ex‑partner. She described the character’s moral ambiguity as “you wouldn’t want to root for her, yet maybe she’s right.” The series is produced by Hulu and streams in the United States.
