Hulu’s newest crime drama, Furious, has officially arrived, and it’s already being called one of the standout thrillers of summer 2026. Starring Emmy Rossum in her first series regular role in three years, the show has generated massive buzz thanks to its dark premise, star-studded cast, and a near-perfect critical reception. Here’s everything you need to know about the Furious Hulu release date, episode schedule, cast, and plot.
When Did Furious Premiere on Hulu?
Furious premiered on Hulu on Monday, July 27, 2026, with the first three episodes dropping all at once. The series is streaming exclusively on Hulu in the United States, while international viewers can watch it on Disney+.
New episodes are not being released in one large batch. After the three-episode premiere, Hulu is following a weekly rollout for the remainder of the eight-episode season.

What Is Furious About?
Furious is a psychological crime drama created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the mind behind New Girl, The Dropout, and Dying for Sex. The series is loosely inspired by the 1987 neo-noir film Black Widow, written by Ronald Bass, who also serves as an executive producer on the new adaptation.
The story follows Alice Black, a former NYPD homicide detective turned probationary FBI agent, played by Emmy Rossum. Alice becomes consumed by the hunt for a calculating female serial killer who has been targeting wealthy men across New York City. Her prime suspect is Catherine, a mysterious young woman who had romantic ties to the victims before their deaths.
Rather than playing out as a straightforward cat-and-mouse procedural, Furious leans into psychological tension, exploring how the line between hunter and hunted — and between justice and obsession — begins to blur as Alice’s investigation consumes both her professional and personal life.
Who Stars in Furious?
The series features a strong ensemble cast, including:
- Emmy Rossum as Alice Black, an FBI agent and former NYPD detective
- Lola Petticrew as Catherine, the prime suspect
- Scoot McNairy
- Quincy Tyler Bernstine
- Jake Lacy in a recurring role as Marshall
Emmy Rossum also serves as an executive producer on the project, alongside Elizabeth Meriwether and Ronald Bass. Brian Kirk directed the first two episodes and executive produced the series, which is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television.
How Is Furious Being Received?
Furious has landed to strong reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series currently holds a 100% approval rating based on 13 reviews, with critics praising Rossum’s performance as her boldest TV role yet and highlighting the show’s tense, morally complex storytelling. Several critics have positioned the series as a compelling alternative for fans of Netflix’s You, given its focus on obsession, identity, and the psychology of a killer rather than a purely procedural approach.
