Furious series premiere and global streaming rollout

Entities: Elizabeth Meriwether · Lola Petticrew · Emmy Rossum · Disney+ · Hulu

Overview

Hulu announced on 25 June 2026 that its eight‑episode crime thriller Furious, starring Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black (also an executive producer), would debut on Monday 27 July 2026. The first three episodes dropped together, with a new episode each Monday thereafter, concluding on 31 August. Disney+ confirmed an exclusive launch on 2 July 2026 for bundled US subscribers, mirroring Hulu’s weekly rollout.

A star‑studded premiere was held on 16 July 2026 at New York’s Metrograph. Creator‑showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether, cast members Rossum, Lola Petticrew, Scoot McNairy, Quincy Tyler Bernstein and Jake Lacy, as well as guests Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick attended. Rossum’s Monse Resort 2027 dress drew particular attention. The event highlighted the series’ psychological cat‑and‑mouse chase between Black and a methodical female serial killer, emphasizing themes of justice versus revenge, female rage, moral ambiguity and personal trauma.

The drama, produced by 20th Television and Searchlight Television, avoids graphic gore in favor of tension. Disney+ rolled the series out worldwide on 27 July 2026, pricing it at €5.99 per month; US viewers continue to stream via Hulu. The serial killer, named Catherine and portrayed by Petticrew, adds depth to the abuse‑of‑women narrative. Episodes 101‑102 were directed by Brian Kirk. Consultation with real FBI agents handling sex‑trafficking cases informed the storyline, which draws parallels to the Medusa myth while examining sexual exploitation, trauma and revenge.
