The Furious Hulu release schedule runs every Monday through to 31 August, and if you have not started the series yet, you are already three episodes behind. The show premiered on 27 July and landed its first three episodes at once, giving it the kind of opening weekend that makes a streaming service very happy.
The series has since picked up a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and, according to Wikipedia’s Furious page, earned a score of 81 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 21 critic reviews, a rating the site categorises as indicating universal acclaim. That is not nothing. That is a show you probably need to watch.
What Is Furious About?
Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, Furious is a cat-and-mouse detective drama that digs into violence against women, sex trafficking and domestic abuse. Meriwether previously created Dying for Sex with Michelle Williams and The Dropout in 2022. The series follows Alice Black, a former homicide cop now working for the FBI, played by Emmy Rossum. Her target is Catherine, a ruthless serial killer played by Lola Petticrew. As Alice works to catch her, a pattern emerges in Catherine’s targets that opens up a much larger question about justice.
The show is frequently compared to Killing Eve, and you can see why. A driven female investigator, a magnetic killer, moral grey zones everywhere. It also carries, according to Wikipedia, a loose inspiration from the 1987 film Black Widow. The series was produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television.
Beyond Rossum and Petticrew, the cast includes Scoot McNairy, Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Jake Lacy. Given the Killing Eve comparisons doing the rounds, it is worth noting that ensemble matters in this kind of drama, and on paper that is a solid line-up.

How to Watch Furious
Furious is a Hulu original, which in practical terms means you need a Hulu subscription to watch it. It is streaming now, with episodes one through six already available as of mid-August. UK viewers wanting in may need to look at workarounds, as Hulu does not operate over here directly, though with a 98% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a Metacritic score of 81, it is the kind of show that tends to find a wider international distribution conversation sooner rather than later.
The Furious Hulu release schedule wraps on 31 August with the “Hart Island” finale, so there is still time to binge the early episodes and catch up before it lands.
For context on scores and critical reception, Rotten Tomatoes currently has it sitting at 98%, which puts it in rare company. The Metacritic figure of 81 from 21 reviews adds weight to what is looking like a strong critical consensus rather than a viral blip.
The finale airs on Hulu on 31 August 2026.
