Furious Trailer: Emmy Rossum Hunts a Killer in Hulu's Chilling New Thriller

Hulu just gave true crime junkies a massive reason to cancel their summer outdoor plans. The highly anticipated Furious trailer released today, and it is already delivering the kind of psychological dread that makes you want to double-check the locks on your front door. Starring Emmy Rossum and Lola Petticrew, this eight-episode thriller looks poised to completely hijack the television landscape when it premieres this July. The first footage sets up a deeply unsettling game of cat-and-mouse that promises to breathe entirely new life into the saturated serial killer genre.

The teaser opens with an immediate gut punch, introducing Petticrew’s character as she casually mocks a dying victim. It is a chilling introduction that establishes the show’s bleak, uncompromising tone right out of the gate. Set to a haunting, slowed-down rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic song "Paint It Black," the trailer introduces us to rookie FBI Agent Alice Black, played by an appropriately stressed-looking Rossum. Alice arrives at a grisly crime scene and quickly connects three male victims, realizing she is dealing with an incredibly intelligent female murderer who is intentionally leaving clues behind as a form of personal payback.

What makes this project feel particularly fresh is the creative force steering the ship. The series is executive produced and written by Elizabeth Meriwether. The same brilliant mind who gave us the quirky comedy of New Girl and the scammer tension of The Dropout is now diving headfirst into blood-soaked psychological horror. Meriwether excels at exploring the complexities of female identity, and stretching those boundaries into the mind of a calculating serial killer feels like a natural, if terrifying, next step.

The supporting cast brings plenty of heavy-hitting talent to back up the central duo. Scoot McNairy, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and Jake Lacy round out an ensemble that knows exactly how to navigate high-stakes television drama. With a rollout strategy that begins with a three-episode premiere on Monday, July 27, 2026, Hulu is clearly aiming to turn this into the definitive watercooler event of the summer.

Furious seems to have all the right ingredients to dominate summer TV discussions, seamlessly blending top-tier prestige acting with a genuinely creepy pulp sensibility. Head over to the comments and let us know if you think Alice Black will catch her killer, or if Petticrew is about to steal the entire show.
