‘Furious’ Renewed for Season 2 at Hulu

What begins as a hunt for a serial killer quickly becomes something far more personal and complicated in Hulu’s Furious. And now, the story will continue.

Created by New Girl producer and writer Liz Meriwether, the eight-episode first season follows Alice Black (Emmy Rossum), a traumatized former NYPD detective-turned-FBI agent who is pulled into the search for Catherine (Lola Petticrew), a calculating killer targeting men linked to her own traumatic past.

But Catherine’s carefully chosen victims make this anything but a straightforward serial killer case. As Alice digs deeper into the murders and the woman behind them, the investigation forces her to confront uncomfortable questions about justice, guilt, and how far someone can go before the line between right and wrong disappears entirely.

With Season 2 now officially on the way, the bigger question is what comes next. Here’s everything we know about Furious Season 2 so far.
