Disney+ Greenlights Crime Drama Furious Starring Emmy Rossum as FBI Agent Hunting Serial Killer

Disney+ has set a release date for Furious, an upcoming crime drama centred on an FBI agent pursuing a mysterious female serial killer. The series premieres on 27 July across Disney+ internationally and Hulu in the United States, with the first three episodes arriving simultaneously.

Cast and Creative Team

Emmy Rossum, known for her role in Shameless, leads the cast as FBI agent Alice Black. Lola Petticrew portrays the unnamed serial killer whose life becomes intertwined with Rossum's character. Scoot McNairy co-stars as Alice's FBI partner, with supporting cast including Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Jake Lacy in roles yet to be detailed. Rossum also serves as executive producer on the project alongside creator Elizabeth Meriwether, the writer and producer behind the television series New Girl and Dying for Sex.

Plot and Narrative

The series follows Alice Black as she crosses paths with a calculating female serial killer. Both characters walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives become intertwined, the distinction between right and wrong begins to blur. The premise centres on moral ambiguity and relentless pursuit, exploring how the investigation challenges conventional notions of justice.

Release Strategy

Furious employs a staggered release model: three episodes launch simultaneously on 27 July, with subsequent episodes premiering weekly. This approach differs from traditional binge-release strategies, allowing viewers to engage with the narrative across an extended period.

The announcement arrives as Disney+ expands its crime drama offerings. The platform is also preparing the sixth season of Only Murders in the Building, which shifts its investigation to London with the original cast of Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez, joined by new talent including Jennifer Saunders, Simone Ashley, and Sharon Horgan.
