Hulu renews Liz Meriwether’s thriller series “Furious” for a second season ahead of the Season 1 finale. The show stars Emmy Rossum, with Lola Petticrew also listed among the principal cast. The first season is still airing, and the Season 1 finale arrives on Aug. 31.
The outlets describe the renewal as coming relatively early. Deadline notes that Hulu, like other streamers, typically relies on long-tail viewership data before making renewal decisions, making this pickup notable in timing. Variety adds that “Furious” has built momentum since its July 27 premiere, with viewership increasing week over week. Hollywood Reporter similarly frames the renewal around the end of the current season.
Across coverage, the common point is that Hulu has committed to Season 2 while the eight-episode Season 1 run concludes on Aug. 31, with Meriwether involved as creator and a writer for the finale.
