‘Furious’ Season 1 Finale Release Date and Time

Hulu’s breakout crime drama is heading into its final chapter, and fans tracking Alice Black’s cat and mouse pursuit finally have a concrete date to circle. The eight episode season has become one of the streamer’s biggest surprises of the summer, and the countdown to its ending is now officially on.

‘Furious‘ follows Emmy Rossum as Alice Black, a former NYPD homicide detective who joined the FBI’s sex crimes unit, as she investigates a case tied to the overdose of a well known child trafficker. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the series has drawn comparisons to ‘Killing Eve’ for its tense duel between an investigator and the woman she is hunting.

When Does the ‘Furious’ Season 1 Finale Air?

Hulu released the first three episodes of ‘Furious’ together on July 27, 2026, then shifted to a weekly rollout for the rest of the season. New chapters have landed every Monday since, with episode four titled ‘Flash Flood’ arriving August 3, followed by episode five on August 10, episode six on August 17, and episode seven on August 24.

Episode eight, the season finale, is set to premiere on August 31, 2026, closing out the eight episode run. The finale episode is titled ‘Hart Island’.

Showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether wrote the finale herself, along with the first two episodes of the season, giving her hand in both how the story begins and how it wraps.

Where to Watch the ‘Furious’ Finale and What Time It Drops

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

A Hulu subscription starts at 10 dollars and 99 cents a month for the ad supported tier, and that plan covers full access to ‘Furious’ along with the rest of the platform’s library. The show’s steady weekly release has turned each Monday into something of an event for fans following Alice’s investigation in real time rather than binging the whole season at once.

‘Furious’ also had a notable red carpet moment ahead of its debut, holding its New York premiere on July 16, 2026, with the cast walking in Lower Manhattan before the show ever hit screens.

The ‘Furious’ Cast Leading Into the Finale

Alongside Rossum, the series stars Lola Petticrew as Catherine, the woman at the center of Alice’s investigation, whose victims are linked by accusations 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 bring authenticity to the character’s investigative and combat instincts.

Rossum has spoken about the unusually long runway she had to prepare, noting she had about a year and a half between the show’s initial conception and the start of filming, which let the research and training settle into her performance rather than being rushed.

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

Critical Reaction Ahead of the Season Finale

‘Furious’ has been a critical darling since it premiered, holding an approval rating in the high 90s on Rotten Tomatoes based on dozens of reviews, alongside a strong weighted score on Metacritic that reflects what critics have called universal acclaim. That reception has only grown as the season has progressed toward its final stretch.

With only one episode left after episode seven, the pressure is on for ‘Furious’ to stick the landing on a season that critics have praised for its handling of heavy, real world themes including violence against women, sex trafficking, and domestic abuse. The finale will need to resolve Alice’s pursuit of Catherine while honoring the emotional weight the show has built over seven episodes.

Given how close the two women have become over the course of the investigation, the ending of ‘Furious’ could go in several directions, and fans have been speculating about how much closure the show is willing to give.

Now that ‘Furious’ has a confirmed finale date and title in ‘Hart Island,’ how do you think Alice and Catherine’s story is going to end, and are you rooting for Alice to catch her or for Catherine to slip away one last time?
