'Furious' Renewed For Season 2 By Hulu Ahead Of Season 1 Finale

Key Points:

• Hulu has renewed the thriller series Furious, created by Liz Meriwether and starring Emmy Rossum, for a second season ahead of its first season finale on August 31.
• The early renewal is notable as Hulu typically waits for extended viewership data; however, Furious has shown growing week-over-week viewership and strong rankings, including peaking at No. 5 on Luminate’s weekly charts and rumored Top 10 streaming original status.
• Furious is reportedly the #1 series on Disney+/Hulu worldwide for August and the #2 freshman drama on Hulu in the U.S. year to date, supported by 4 billion cross-media impressions and a 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
• The series follows FBI agent Alice Black (Emmy Rossum) as she pursues a female serial killer, with a cast including Lola Petticrew, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and Scoot McNairy; it is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television.
• The renewal contrasts with Hulu’s recent cancellation of another new series, Not Suitable For Work, highlighting Furious’s strong performance and cost-effective production as key factors in its continuation.
