Next month, FOX's hit The Following returns. The series, which was ranked number one new series and broadcast drama among the Adults 18-49 demographic, ended last season with the main antagonist and serial killer cult leader, Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), reportedly getting killed, leaving Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) to finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but only for a moment, as one of Carroll's followers stabs Claire Matthews (Natalie Zea). This season picks up a year later, after Hardy has started to pull his life back together and heal, at least that's the way it appears. His obsession with Carroll has not lessened.

On the anniversary of Carroll's death, some new murders pop up that have connections to Carroll and his followers. Can Hardy figure out the truth?

Earlier in the week the creator and executive producer of the series, Kevin Williamson, talked to the digital media about the upcoming season.
