‘Furious’ Season 1 Finale Release Date and Air Time

Hulu’s breakout crime drama is approaching its thrilling conclusion, and fans eager to follow Alice Black’s intense pursuit now have a date to mark on their calendars. This eight-episode season has emerged as one of the platform’s biggest hits of the summer, and the countdown to its finale is officially underway.

‘Furious‘ stars Emmy Rossum as Alice Black, a former NYPD homicide detective turned FBI agent in the sex crimes unit, who investigates a case linked to the overdose of a notorious child trafficker. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the series has drawn comparisons to ‘Killing Eve’ due to its gripping cat-and-mouse dynamic between the investigator and her target.

Hulu premiered the first three episodes of ‘Furious’ on July 27, 2026, followed by a weekly release schedule for the remaining episodes. New installments have been available every Monday, with episode four, titled ‘Flash Flood,’ debuting on August 3, episode five on August 10, episode six on August 17, and episode seven on August 24.

The eighth episode, serving as the season finale, is scheduled to premiere on August 31, 2026, wrapping up the eight-episode arc. This finale episode is titled ‘Hart Island’.

Showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether penned the finale, along with the first two episodes of the season, ensuring her vision is present from the start to the finish of the story.

In the United States, viewers can stream ‘Furious’ exclusively on Hulu, while international audiences can access the series on Disney+ in supported regions. New episodes typically go live at 9 p.m. PT and 12 a.m. ET on release days, allowing West Coast viewers to catch the finale on Sunday night, while East Coast fans will see it drop right at the start of Monday.

A Hulu subscription starts at $10.99 per month for the ad-supported tier, granting full access to ‘Furious’ and the rest of the platform’s library. The show’s consistent weekly release has turned each Monday into an event for fans following Alice’s investigation in real time instead of binge-watching the entire season.

‘Furious’ also made headlines with its notable red carpet event, holding its New York premiere on July 16, 2026, where the cast walked in Lower Manhattan before the show aired.

Alongside Rossum, the series features Lola Petticrew as Catherine, the central figure in Alice’s investigation, whose victims are connected by allegations of abuse and institutional failure. To prepare for the physically demanding role of Alice, Rossum reportedly gained 10 pounds of muscle and trained with a retired FBI agent to authentically portray the character’s investigative and combat skills.

Rossum has shared insights about the extended preparation time she had, noting she had about a year and a half from the show’s initial concept to the start of filming, allowing her research and training to enhance her performance without feeling rushed.

The series is produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television, with Brian Kirk directing the first two episodes and serving as an executive producer on the project.

‘Furious’ has received critical acclaim since its debut, boasting a high approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on numerous reviews, along with a strong score on Metacritic reflecting universal praise from critics. This positive reception has only intensified as the season nears its conclusion.

With just one episode remaining after episode seven, the pressure is mounting for ‘Furious’ to deliver a satisfying conclusion to a season that has been lauded for its exploration of serious, real-world issues such as violence against women, sex trafficking, and domestic abuse. The finale must resolve Alice’s pursuit of Catherine while honoring the emotional depth the show has built over the previous seven episodes.

Given the close relationship that has developed between the two women throughout the investigation, the ending of ‘Furious’ could take various paths, and fans are speculating on how much resolution the show will provide.

Now that ‘Furious’ has confirmed its finale date and title in ‘Hart Island,’ how do you envision the conclusion of Alice and Catherine’s story? Are you rooting for Alice to catch her, or for Catherine to escape one last time?
