The new drama will return for a second season.
March 4, 2013
FOX announced today that it has renewed freshman series The Following for Season 2. The Kevin Bacon-led thriller has been a mid-season success for the network, already becoming this season's #2 broadcast drama in Live+7 ratings after its first six episodes. The show's solid ratings, combined with praise from critics and audiences alike, make it easy to see why FOX was quick to pick the series up for a second season.
Nine episodes remain in the first season of The Following. The number of episodes ordered for the show's next season have not been specified.
UPDATE: Season 2 of The Following premieres on Sunday, January 19, 2014 after the NFC Championship game.

Best show on TV right now. Every week there's a new twist or turn that is completely unexpected. I find it funny that people who hate the show, take time out of their day to denounce it. If you don't like, that's fine, don't watch it. Nick at Nite is probably more the speed for those folks anyway...

What a terrible show, every week this guy dies and surprise someone close is really a Family Member and they took ....,.,.(fill in the blank, kid, wife, agent etc..) such nonsense, a 11 week SVU episode would be better, or CopRock

Absolutely LOVE James Purefoy and Kevin Bacon as the tortured antagonists in this show but I think I would find it unwatchable without these compelling characters. The plots are OK but I find it maddening when the bad guys seem to so easily and consistently hoodwink the good guys - I sometimes want to throw my shoe at the TV set - Come on, man!! That said, I will likely watch Season 2 just to see how Joe Carroll miraculously survived the fire and explosion and how Ryan Hardy manages to survive the attack from the crazy lady on the Season 1 finale.

This show could have been done in 2 hours (or less). How much more stupid can you make the FBI seem? And how much further can you take this storyline? If you brought Jethro Gibbs to find this guy, he would have done it in an hour. And kicked Claire to the curb.

If you had an incurable pet you would do the right thing and let it go peacefully to the grave. If you allow one more episode of the Following I and the people I have spoken with will be tuned in to higher channel. Your show was a noisome smell.

To us, this show was just plain awful and a waste of some good actors/actresses. The plot line and the episode scenarios and dialogue were just plain ridiculous. We watched it from the beginning to the end of the season, so that we could make a fair statement. We think Fox seems desperate for viewers and is playing the shock value card to the hilt. At least Hannable has some class!
