Television viewers have a busy lineup to navigate this Monday, anchored by major streaming premieres and season finales across several networks. Headlining today’s cultural calendar is the launch of Hulu’s new original drama series “Furious”, marking Emmy Rossum’s first series regular role in three years according to pagesix.com. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether—the writer behind acclaimed projects like The Dropout and Dying for Sex—the series drops its first three episodes today, with weekly installments running through August 31.
Emmy Rossum Leads a Gritty New Cat-and-Mouse Dynamic in Furious
The eight-episode drama follows Alice Black, a former NYPD homicide detective turned probationary FBI agent who left the force after surviving a violent assault by her childhood sweetheart and fellow cop boyfriend, Marshall, played by Jake Lacy. Desperate to transfer into the bureau’s sex crimes unit, Alice is initially relegated to answering tip-line calls until her former NYPD partner, Danny Kelly—played by Scoot McNairy—pulls her into a high-society murder investigation.
That initial case centers on the suspicious overdose death of Caleb Easton, the son of a prominent New York billionaire. Her primary target is Catherine, a calculating strategist portrayed by Lola Petticrew who specifically targets powerful men who prey on women and children.
Operating out of a gloomy basement office of departmental outcasts, Alice gains an unofficial mentor in Nora Washington, an alcoholic investigator hardened by years of handling crimes against children. Quincy Tyler Bernstine rounds out the central trio as Nora, bringing a raw, world-weary gravity to the precinct.
