While Furious is officially returning, is every cast member coming back in season 2?
Pulling inspiration from the 1987 film Black Widow, creator Elizabeth Meriwether explores dark themes of abuse and human trafficking in Furious through the eyes of several complex — and many times imperfect — characters.
At the center of Furious is FBI agent Alice (Emmy Rossum) as she hunts for a mysterious and calculating female serial killer played by Lola Petticrew, who targets men who prey on girls.
“Often on television, we see women who are victims as perfect victims. They’re presented with halos. I really wanted the show to dig into what it actually feels like to be a victim of violence and how it can manifest in really strange ways,” Meriwether teased to Us in July. “It can end up making you make strange and tough choices.”
The crime drama, which also stars Scoot McNairy, Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Jake Lacy, relies on twists and turns that even the characters don’t see coming. While Furious centers on difficult subject matter, it makes an effort not to show graphic scenes of abuse.
“This is a show made mostly by women,” Rossum shared with Us. “You can feel that in the treatment of the women and the victims in the show.”
Rossum noted that “nothing is gratuitous” in the eight-part Hulu show, which has since been picked up for more episodes.
“There are no flashbacks that are showing the violence against them,” she continued. “But we feel that in every aspect of them. We can see the specific ways that it shows up in their life.”
Rossum elaborated: “That is more meaningful to see the way that the history of that affects you now than needing to see it.”
