Emmy Rossum is returning to TV for yet another very tough and emotionally challenging role. Fresh off praise for her roles in Shameless and Angelyne, the actress is set to star in Hulu’s upcoming psychological crime thriller Furious — a series that’s already generating major buzz ahead of its summer debut.
Elizabeth Meriwether, writer and producer of New Girl and The Dropout, created Furious to bring together crime, psychology and character-driven suspense. With its intriguing premise and impressive cast, the series is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of Hulu in 2026.# What Is Furious About?
Based on the 1987 neo-noir thriller Black Widow, the story of Furious stars Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black, who is tracking an elusive female serial killer.
Instead of just procedural crime solving, the series looks at the mental clash between investigator and suspect. The case becomes more complex and the lines between predator and prey begin to blur. The two women are caught in a dangerous game of manipulation, obsession and deception that weaves a tense narrative of unexpected twists.
The show promises to deliver a darker, character-based take on the crime thriller, balancing emotional complexity and suspense.# Enraged Cast
