"Furious," a Hulu thriller series created by "New Girl" creator Liz Meriwether, may have flown under the radar during this summer's releases, but it's now receiving mainstream attention. The show follows ex-cop-turned-FBI agent Emmy Rossum as she hunts down a serial killer. Initially debuting at No. 10 on Nielsen's streaming originals list, the show's viewership grew gradually, with a 40% increase in viewership for the penultimate episode compared to the premiere.
By the time the finale aired, views had increased by 90% from the premiere. Despite little marketing and awareness, the show's success can be attributed to positive word of mouth and social media chatter on platforms like TikTok, Threads, and X. This delayed success highlights the power of passionate fans in inspiring others to join the conversation, especially in a crowded TV landscape.
With a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, "Furious" has attracted 43 million hours of viewing globally and reached its highest demand a week after its final episode dropped on Hulu.
