A woman who has killed several men and is apparently far from finished: For most of Alice Black's colleagues, this theory is simply nonsense. But the FBI agent, played by Emmy Rossum (39), won't give up. Whether she's right can be verified starting July 27 on Disney+. The streaming service is releasing three episodes of the Hulu original series "Furious" at launch, with the remaining five of the total eight episodes following weekly.
The Question of True Justice
Black has years at the New York homicide department behind her before switching to the FBI. The case is set in motion by a former colleague (Scoot McNairy, 48), who brings her into a death case from the city's upper circles. Alice quickly recognizes the pattern of an entire series. The fact that her colleagues don't believe her doesn't stop her.
The investigator's keen observation has to do with her own biography. Her former partner Marshall (Jake Lacy, 40) abused her in the shower; she hasn't showered since. Both women, the hunter and the hunted, seek their own path to justice-and the closer one gets to the other, the more the question arises of who actually stands on the side of justice.
Convincing Cast, Unusual Roles
The antagonist initially appears only wearing a mask. Lola Petticrew (30) plays her as a petite, absolutely deadly strategist who mostly targets successful men who harm girls. As the third woman, Nora Washington enters the picture, played by Quincy Tyler Bernstine. She works in the basement of the FBI building, has been processing cases of violence against children for years, and has developed an alcohol problem and a thick armor of sarcasm.
"Furious" was developed, written, and produced by author Elizabeth Meriwether (44), known for "New Girl" or "The Dropout". Brian Kirk directed the first two episodes, previously involved in "Dexter" and "Luther". Rossum not only stars in front of the camera but is also on board as an executive producer alongside Ronald Bass, Matt Olmstead, and Sam Hoffman.
For Rossum, it's her most striking role in a long time. She became known as Christine Daaé in "Das Phantom der Oper" (2004), and remained in the memory of a broad audience through many years of "Shameless". Petticrew, meanwhile, has mainly made a name for herself in Ireland and Great Britain: For her portrayal of IRA woman Dolours Price in "Say Nothing", Petticrew was nominated for a BAFTA as best actress in 2025.
