Ryan Hardy gave all “The Following” fans an unexpected
ending during the season finale of season three. However, now that FOX has
dropped the show because of its low rating during the third season does it mean
that “The Following” has now come to the end of its lifespan?
When this crime drama was first introduced to the public, it
had a strong following yet something happened and it became the lowest rated
show outside of CW primetime. Diehard fans of the show have turned to social
media asking streaming channels to save it. If you recall, Netflix was able to
save Longmire from its ending.
Hulu is not onboard with continuing the show though. They
have already released
a statement informing fans that it is not likely that they will
participate.
Fans were not dissapointed
with Kevin Bacon’s acting during the finale. Some feel as though he did his
best acting in season three when he survived falling into the waterfall. He
faked his death so his family would be safe, therefore, viewers were sure that
a season four would be returning that would go into more details about the
serial killer organization.
FOX may have decided to drop
the show but Alexi Hawley still decided to plan for the 4th season
and revealed the plot during an
interview with Entertainment Weekly. Season four would pick up with Gwen having
a baby that was raised by Mike and Max, who would remain an item.
Bloggers are saying that they
feel a renewal will happen on a streaming network even if it is not Hulu. They
are also shocked that Hulu is not onboard with streaming “The Following” since
they acquired “The Mindy Project”.
Regardless, Hulu may be saying no but another streaming network may step in.
For now, only time will tell
and Kevin Bacon is very pleased with the love that is being shown from the
shows fans. He says, “big love to all of
our loyal fans. It’s been an honor to work for you. Sweat, tears and lots of
blood”.
