Furious
Elizabeth Meriwether, the creator of New Girl and the devastating Dying for Sex, takes an odd swerve into serial killer territory with this eight episode series loosely inspired by the 1987 thriller Black Widow. Emmy Rossum plays Alice Black, an FBI agent hunting a calculating female serial killer, played with icy charisma by Lola Petticrew, and the show's central gambit is structural: it tells the story from both sides, giving the killer's backstory and reasoning nearly equal weight, until the pursuit starts to look like a twisted courtship.

Our Review
Furious (2026) is a drama and crime series from Hulu. It has built a run of 8 episodes. It premiered on July 27, 2026. Viewers rate it 7.3 out of 10. It is currently running. It runs 2 seasons.
What Furious Is About
Furious follows an FBI agent, Alice Black, on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating female serial killer. Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong begins to blur.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 8 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its drama/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Emmy Rossum, Scoot McNairy and Lola Petticrew to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Emmy Rossum, Scoot McNairy, Lola Petticrew and Quincy Tyler Bernstine lead the cast.
Key roles include Emmy Rossum as Special Agent Alice Black; Scoot McNairy as Detective Danny Kelly; Lola Petticrew as Catherine Grace; Quincy Tyler Bernstine as Supervisory Special Agent Nora Washington.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, crime and thriller have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Hulu’s other originals, a 7.3/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2026 and carried by Hulu with the series still running, it lands hardest with drama and crime viewers.
How Furious Compares
If Furious lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Furious comes from Hulu. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Furious is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Emmy Rossum and Scoot McNairy doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/crime roots, It has held up since 2026 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Furious is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and crime lane, at 8 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.3/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.3/10. Watch it if you want drama/crime you can settle into.
