What movies and TV shows can you see Emmy Rossum in next?

Emmy Rossum keeps adding new chapters to a career that began with small-screen guest spots and moved quickly into major studio films and prestige television. Her work spans early dramatic turns, blockbuster disaster pictures, intimate indies, and recent producing credits that show she is shaping stories as well as performing in them. The following sections track key performances and projects that remain worth revisiting or anticipating.

Angelyne

Angelyne premiered on Peacock on May 19, 2022. Rossum starred as the real-life Los Angeles billboard icon and also served as executive producer. The five-episode limited series traces Angelyne’s rise from the 1980s onward, when her provocative billboards turned her into a local celebrity who later appeared on talk shows, ran for governor, and became a recurring pop-culture reference in shows such as The Simpsons and BoJack Horseman. The cast includes Lukas Gage, Charlie Rowe, and Martin Freeman. Viewers can stream the full run on Peacock.

Mystic River

Clint Eastwood directed the 2003 adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel, and Rossum played Katie, the daughter of ex-con Jimmy Markum. Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, and Laurence Fishburne led the ensemble. The story opens with a childhood kidnapping in Boston and jumps forward two decades to a new murder that pulls the original trio back into one another’s lives. Rossum’s scenes establish the family tensions that drive much of the later conflict, and the performance helped introduce her to wider audiences before her next studio projects.

The Day After Tomorrow

Roland Emmerich’s 2004 disaster film cast Rossum as Laura, a college student caught in New York when sudden climate shifts trigger a new ice age. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal starred as her father and her classmate. The film mixed large-scale set pieces with a smaller survival story inside the New York Public Library. Critics at the time called the science shaky, yet the movie’s early warnings about extreme weather now read as prescient. Rossum received an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance.

Law & Order

Rossum’s first credited television role came in the 1997 episode “Ritual” of NBC’s long-running procedural. She played Allison Martin, a girl at the center of a custody dispute that ends in murder. The episode, written by Kathy McCormick and directed by Brian Mertes, aired December 17, 1997. It remains a brief but early marker of the path that later led to recurring series work and feature films.

Comet

Sam Esmail wrote and directed the 2014 indie Comet, which Rossum executive produced and in which she starred opposite Justin Long. The film follows the six-year relationship of Dell and Kimberly through non-linear flashbacks and hypothetical scenes. It premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and drew praise for the lead performances even as some reviewers found the structure uneven. The project is notable as an early collaboration between Rossum and the man who became her husband.

A Futile and Stupid Gesture

The 2018 Netflix biopic recounts the founding years of National Lampoon magazine through the story of writer Douglas Kenney. Rossum portrayed actress Kathryn Walker, Kenney’s partner until his death in 1980. Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Seth Green, and Ed Helms rounded out the cast. The film screened at Sundance and later drew attention for its look at a formative period in American comedy.

The Crowded Room

Rossum joined the 2023 Apple TV+ miniseries The Crowded Room as Candy Sullivan. The ten-episode drama, created by Akiva Goldsman and based on Daniel Keyes’ book, centers on a young man whose multiple personalities surface during a criminal investigation. Rossum’s supporting role added another prestige television credit after Shameless and expanded her range into ensemble limited-series work.

Furious

Rossum stars as FBI Agent Alice Black in the upcoming Hulu series Furious, created by Liz Meriwether. She also serves as executive producer. The show follows an agent hunting a female serial killer and is scheduled to premiere July 27, 2026. The project marks Rossum’s return to a lead television role with producing involvement.

Walden (Stage)

In October and November 2024 Rossum appeared Off-Broadway in Amy Berryman’s play Walden at Second Stage Theatre. Directed by Whitney White, the production starred Rossum opposite Zoë Winters. The stage work demonstrated her continued interest in live performance and new material outside screen projects.

Behind the Camera: Producing and Directing

Rossum has taken on executive producer duties across several series, including Angelyne in 2022, Three Women in 2023, and the forthcoming Furious. These credits place her in writers’ rooms and production meetings, shaping tone and casting alongside her on-screen roles. The move behind the camera mirrors a broader industry pattern in which actors extend their influence into development and oversight.

Across these projects Rossum has moved from child roles to adult leads, from studio tentpoles to intimate indies, and from acting into producing. The record shows consistent choices that keep her visible on both large and small screens while opening doors for future work on stage and in new series.
