Hulu has renewed its crime drama Furious for a second season, confirming the news in a press release on August 27, just three days before the season one finale arrives on the platform. Emmy Rossum, who stars in and leads the series, shared her reaction in a video posted to Instagram, saying she and the team were overwhelmed by the love and support the first season received.
A near-perfect debut
Loosely inspired by the 1987 neo-noir cult film Black Widow, Furious follows FBI agent Alice Black, played by Rossum, as she hunts a calculating female serial killer played by Lola Petticrew. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the show has drawn strong reviews and a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score from both critics and audiences, fueling demand for more even before the first season wrapped.
