Future Deep is Juliette Lewis's first non-single release since the 2009 album Terra Incognita.

Future Deep could be considered a culmination of everything Lewis has been doing musically over a seven-year period (2009-2016).

[1] The same is true of the EP's fifth track, "Hello Hero", which was released in April 2016.

[3] The EP is co-written and co-produced by Lewis along with Isabella Summers of Florence and the Machine, Brad Shultz, Jared Champion and Matthan Minster from Cage the Elephant.

At the time of release, Lewis was starring in the second season of ABC's crime thriller Secrets and Lies.
