Hulu Renews Furious for Season 2

Hulu credited steady week‑over‑week audience growth as the reason for the early renewal.

Overview

  • Hulu officially announced the renewal on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026, approving a second season before the first season’s finale airs on Aug. 31.
  • The streamer said one‑day views for Episode 7 were about 40% higher than the premiere, citing that week‑over‑week growth as a key factor in its decision.
  • Furious has won strong critical praise and audience traction, holding roughly a 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and high placement on Hulu/Disney+ and Luminate streaming charts.
  • Season 2 is in very early development with no premiere date or plot details released yet, and creators have said continuing beyond the first season will require new source material separate from the show’s Black Widow inspiration.
  • The series centers on FBI agent Alice Black and a female killer who targets men tied to a trafficking network, and its female‑led casting and queer subtext have been highlighted as central to its cultural impact.
