Hulu’s ‘Se7en’ Meets ‘Monster’ 10/10 Serial Killer Show Officially Renewed for Season 2

If you have been looking for a gritty crime drama that combines the cold, procedural intensity of David Fincher’s Se7en with the deeply personal, justice-seeking edge of Patty Jenkins’ 2003 masterpiece Monster, your prayers have been answered. Hulu has officially locked in a Season 2 renewal for its critically acclaimed hit Furious. (via Variety)

The official logline reads:

Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong begins to blur.

Much like Charlize Theron’s iconic, Oscar-winning portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in Monster, this dark narrative centers around a female serial killer whose twisted pursuit of retribution blurs every single moral boundary. Driven by a relentless quest for justice against corrupt and abusive power, the show’s central killer operates outside the law, invoking the same haunting questions about morality and survival that defined classic crime cinema.

The heart of the series’ massive success lies in the volatile, electric dynamic between its two leads. Emmy Rossum stars as dedicated FBI agent Alice Black, while Lola Petticrew delivers a chillingly brilliant performance as Catherine, the calculating and elusive female serial killer. In Season 2, Emmy Rossum and Lola Petticrew will clash again, pushing their complex relationship into even darker and more unpredictable territory.

Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the show explores how two women walking opposite sides of the law become dangerously intertwined. As their psychological games continue, viewers can expect higher stakes, deeper dives into Alice’s troubled past, and a confrontation that will test whether any line between right and wrong can truly survive.

With its stellar writing, incredible performances, and a tone that resonates deeply with fans of psychological thrillers, Furious has firmly cemented itself as a must-watch streaming phenomenon. Season 1 captivated audiences with its weekly twists and tense confrontations, setting a high bar for what television crime dramas can achieve.

As production ramps up for the next chapter, viewers are left anticipating how the haunting fallout of the first season will shape the future of Alice and Catherine’s inevitable rematch in the finale, scheduled for Monday, August 31. Fans who fell in love with its relentless pacing and psychological chess matches can breathe a sigh of relief because the chilling cat-and-mouse hunt is far from over.
