Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is coming to Max on August 16, 2024, making its streaming debut in the same week as its home release . Warner Bros. Discovery announced the streaming release just one week before Furiosa arrives on Max.
A few days prior, on August 13, Furiosa is getting a 4K UHD & Blu-ray Steelbook and Standard Edition , giving people plenty of options for watching George Miller's latest Mad Max movie from the comfort of their homes. Furiosa spans 15 years and leads directly into Fury Road with an origin story about the titular renegade warrior before she joined forces with Mad Max, including the numerous trials she faced after being snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falling into the hands of Chris Hemsworth's cape-wearing warlord . The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, who took over from Charlize Theron to play a younger version of the character for the Mad Max spinoff prequel, along with Lachy Hulme, John Howard, Angus Sampson, Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, George Shevtsov, Charlee Fraser, Elsa Pataky, Josh Helman.
and Nathan Jones. Miller revealed in May that he had a "whole story" planned for a Furiosa follow-up, which he has been toying with for years , but it seems like that won't be moving forward anytime soon, perhaps unsurprising after Furiosa had the worst Memorial Day box office opening in 30 years, bowing to a disappointing $32 million in the U.S.
The box office performance of Furiosa was not due to negative reviews, as it currently sits at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes . IGN also gave the movie a rare 10/10 score , saying: "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga weaves a hero's journey of epic proportions, ushering in a powerful reflection on what it means to live and love in a dying world." And just in case anyone left theaters with questions, Miller previously sat down with IGN to break down the ending and share his insight.
