Hulu series Furious renewed for second season

Overview

The eight-episode thriller series ‘Furious’, created by Elizabeth Meriwether, premiered on Hulu in late July 2026. The drama stars Emmy Rossum as Alice Black, an FBI agent and former NYPD homicide detective who pursues Catherine (played by Lola Petticrew), a serial killer targeting powerful men.

Critics and viewers have drawn comparisons to the series ‘Killing Eve’. While sharing a similar premise, ‘Furious’ is noted for its intense thriller style and elements of acid comedy. Following its release on Hulu, the miniseries also became available on Netflix.

At launch, the first three episodes were released immediately, with the remaining five following a weekly schedule through August 31, 2026. On August 27, 2026, Hulu officially renewed the series for a second season ahead of the first season finale. This renewal follows significant audience growth; Hulu reported that viewership for episode seven was 40% higher than the series premiere based on one-day viewing metrics. The series has also maintained high critical standing, holding a near-perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Narrative details indicate the series explores themes of abuse, exploitation, and moral injury, drawing inspiration from the 1987 film ‘Black Widow’. The plot centers on the intersection of two survivors: Alice, a survivor of domestic abuse whose trauma influences her investigative methods, and Catherine, a survivor of teenage trafficking who seeks justice against abusers by administering lethal drug doses. The story also involves Catherine’s attempts to protect a character named Elena from a trafficker known as ‘the Big Man’.

While no release date for the second season has been announced, the renewal ensures the return of Emmy Rossum, Lola Petticrew, and executive producer Meriwether. The series is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television and is available on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ internationally.
