Meriwether details *Furious* season 2 plans

Liz Meriwether, the creator of Hulu’s crime‑procedural “Fury,” spoke to Rolling Stone about the Season 1 finale, the humor of the FBI agents, and a few “farting babies” moments that broke the tension. The interview took place on Tuesday in Los Angeles after the show’s premiere week. Meriwether explained how the finale wraps up the first case while setting up the series’ larger themes of abuse and recovery. She also shared how the show’s comedic beats keep the tone from becoming too heavy.

The series has been praised for its fresh take on crime drama. “Fury” follows a forensic scientist who survived childhood abuse and now solves cases that echo her past. Meriwether says writing about trauma is difficult but essential. She grew up in a town where abuse was hidden, and she wanted the show to give a voice to survivors. Critics called the show “intense and compassionate,” and Hulu reported the first season drew 12 million viewers in its first month. The series’ success shows audiences are ready for stories that mix hard‑boiled investigation with emotional depth.

Season 2 is already in the works, and Meriwether hints that the next arc will explore the FBI’s internal politics. She says new characters will join the team, bringing fresh perspectives. The show will also continue to tackle systemic abuse, this time looking at institutions. “We’re not just solving crimes; we’re looking at how the system fails people,” she said. Rolling Stone’s piece gives fans a behind‑the‑scenes look and confirms that “Fury” will keep pushing boundaries while delivering gripping storytelling.
