Hulu’s original crime thriller series Furious has officially captured a remarkable 99 percent score on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. The milestone comes right on the heels of the show’s eight-episode inaugural season concluding at the end of August 2026, instantly placing the program alongside critically praised police procedurals like Mindhunter.
Created by Elizabeth Meriwether and loosely inspired by the 1987 film Black Widow, the newly renewed series follows a high-stakes psychological game. Emmy Rossum stars as an FBI agent locked in an intense pursuit of a female serial killer, brought to life on screen by Lola Petticrew. Reviewers have heavily praised the production’s powerful central performances and its gripping, high-tension narrative structure.
Since premiering back in July, the thriller has proven to be a major streaming powerhouse. According to data provided by the analytics platform FlixPatrol, Furious has maintained a continuous, strong presence on both the Disney+ and Hulu viewership rankings for two full months.
The stellar critical reception and sustained audience numbers solidified the decision for an early series renewal. As viewers continue to stream the psychological cat-and-mouse chase across both platforms, Furious cements its place as one of the standout television hits of 2026.
