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.

I too was hooked from the first episode. I find the episodes completely refreshing compared to all else on TV in the crime show TV categories.
This is the first show that I have been hooked on since Harper's Island. Fox, for the love of an otherwise boring Monday night, please don't cancel this show....it is fantastic!!~

I love when people try to use these forums for a place to look smart. Wow, the dumb down of America??? Ok have an opinion but make sense. There is NOTHING cliche' about this show. Seriously, go watch hog hunters. Sounds like that is more your flavor. I've watched a lot of shows and this one continues to surprise me and excite me. Just a wonderful show and cast. I applaud the writers. If you don't like it, stop watching. There are plenty of us who will continue to support and watch the show. We must be the dumb ones.....

I am 13 years of age, and this by far is one of my favorite shows! Usually I dislike shows like NCIS and CIA, those shows almost always have a new plot every week. I just finished the season finally and was greatly impressed with the twist at the end. I wonder how they are going to make this into another season. I am so excited that The Following wasn't just one season. I am ready/excited to see how they twist ideas into a new season!

Best show ever. Honestly, as soon as I watched the first 10 minutes of the first episode, I knew this was going to be my new favourite show. So happy they're not cancelling it, and if they ever do, it'll be a huge dissapointment.

I was hooked from the first episode. I have to wonder why those that think the show is crap continue watching? Do you prefer Moonshiners?

I will watch anything with Kevin Bacon in it, but sometimes this show goes way out there somewhere. What will season 2 be about. I prefer a beginning and ending in one hour. That's just me. Whatever happens to this show, we "Bacon lovers" want to see more of him. Footloose Forever!

I like the show, I think the al the principal cast actors are very good, but I hope that season 2 is better written, some parts of the story are kind of ridiculous written. I hope the writers get better next season
