‘Furious’ Season 1 Finale Release Date, Time and Where to Watch

Hulu’s crime thriller ‘Furious’ is heading toward its first season finale, and viewers who have followed Alice Black’s pursuit of a killer hiding in plain sight want to know exactly when the story wraps up. The show’s complete eight episode run concludes on August 31, 2026, closing out a season that began with a three episode premiere in late July.

The series has built momentum with its psychological cat and mouse premise, and the countdown to the last episode has fans checking release times and streaming details. ‘Furious’ Season 1 consists of eight episodes total, with the first three arriving together before the show settled into a weekly rollout. Here is everything confirmed so far about when the finale drops and how to watch it.

‘Furious’ Season 1 Finale Release Date and Time

Hulu released the first three episodes of ‘Furious’ on July 27, and new episodes have followed every Monday leading up to the season finale on August 31. That release plan gave viewers three episodes on premiere day before switching to a weekly cadence for the remainder of the season.

The finale itself carries the title ‘Hart Island,’ and it follows a run of episodes that have steadily tightened the connection between FBI investigator Alice Black and the woman she has been chasing. The full episode schedule runs from Episode 4, ‘Flash Flood,’ on August 3, through Episode 5, ‘Pick a Sticker,’ on August 10, Episode 6, ‘They Make a Noise Like Feathers,’ on August 17, and Episode 7, ‘Some Days It Don’t Come Easy,’ on August 24, before closing with Episode 8, ‘Hart Island,’ on August 31.

As for timing, new episodes of ‘Furious’ arrive in the United States at 12 a.m. ET, which lands at 9 p.m. PT the previous evening. That means West Coast viewers who want to stay spoiler free should plan around the Sunday night drop rather than waiting for Monday morning.

Hulu subscribers in the United States are able to see each episode as it lands, while viewers in the United Kingdom and other international regions can watch on the same day through Disney+. The synchronized release means international audiences are not left waiting for a delayed premiere once the finale goes live.

Where to Watch ‘Furious’ Season 1

‘Furious’ streams exclusively on Hulu in the United States, with the series also available through the Disney+ and Hulu bundle. Viewers outside the US can find the show on Disney+, which carries the season in supported international markets.

For those weighing subscription options, a standalone Hulu plan costs $11.99 per month with ads or $22.99 per month without ads, while the Disney+ and Hulu Bundle Basic runs $12.99 per month and the Bundle Premium is $19.99 per month for access to both services. The show is playable across smart TVs, streaming devices, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles and web browsers as each episode goes live.

Because Hulu and Disney+ keep their release windows aligned, there is no need to hunt for the finale on a separate platform once it premieres. The straightforward setup has made it easy for the show’s growing audience to keep pace with the weekly episodes without missing a beat.

The Cast and Plot Behind ‘Furious’

‘Furious’ comes from writer and executive producer Elizabeth Meriwether, best known for creating ‘New Girl’ and the limited series ‘The Dropout.’ The show is loosely inspired by the 1987 film ‘Black Widow’ and follows an FBI agent who uses secrets from a female serial killer’s past to try to find her.

Emmy Rossum stars as Alice Black, an FBI agent trying to rebuild her career after leaving the NYPD, where she previously worked as a homicide detective. After experiencing an abusive relationship with another police officer, Alice is transferred to the FBI and ends up working the public tip line, until she notices a connection between several murders that others had overlooked.

That thread leads Alice to Catherine, played by Lola Petticrew, the prime suspect in the murder of a wealthy man and a case Alice had handled a year earlier, since Catherine had dated both victims before their deaths. Catherine uses a mask to avoid CCTV cameras and her unassuming appearance to get close to her targets, injecting them with drugs and interrogating them before killing them, and as Alice becomes more entangled in the case, it becomes clear she and Catherine represent two sides of the same coin.

Rounding out the principal cast, Scoot McNairy plays Danny, an NYPD homicide detective who has been at it too long and is emotionally tangled in ways he no longer hides, while Quincy Tyler Bernstine plays Nora, a veteran FBI agent who has worked alongside Alice on hundreds of homicide and human trafficking cases.

What Meriwether and Rossum Have Said About the Show

Meriwether has been candid about what drew her to this kind of story. She has described being fascinated by complicated, messy female characters who surprise the audience, adding that she is interested in characters who are pushed to their breaking point.

The showrunner has also floated the idea of expanding ‘Furious’ beyond its first season. She has said she is hoping the series gets more seasons, comparing its structure to ‘Law & Order: SVU’ in the sense that there are other cases the show could tackle down the line.

Rossum, who also serves as an executive producer through her Composition 8 banner, has spoken about the lead up to filming. She has said she had roughly a year and a half between when the idea first came together and when production began, calling it a gift to embed that deeply in the character and let the research and training live in her body.

With one episode left after ‘Hart Island’ rounds out the season, the show’s creative team has made clear this ending is meant to feel earned rather than rushed. Viewers who have tracked Alice and Catherine’s parallel unraveling all season now have a firm date to see how it lands.

As the countdown to ‘Hart Island’ continues, viewers who have been piecing together Alice and Catherine’s connection all season are likely to have their own theories about how it ends, and that is exactly the kind of finale worth discussing once the credits roll.
