With an estimated 300 active serial killers in the United States according to the FBI, what happens when one brilliant psychotic serial killer brings all of them together and is able to activate a following? From the mind of creator/executive producer Kevin Williamson(Scream), comes a terrifying thriller that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. The best new show of the season is here and you can See it First on JackCITY! The Following, premiering this January 26, Monday at 10PM, follows the case of a retired agent who must go back on the job to stop an escaped serial killer from finishing what he started years ago.
The show marks Kevin Bacon’s first foray on to TV as he plays former FBI agent Ryan Hardy. Having retired from his line of work, he receives a call from the FBI asking for his help to capture serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), who he put behind bars almost a decade ago. Carroll, who has escaped from death row, was first put behind bars when he murdered 14 female students on the Virginia college campus where he taught literature.
Hardy has studied Carroll better than anyone else, and is perhaps Carroll’s only psychological and intellectual match. However Ryan Hardy isn’t the same man who captured Carroll several years ago. Wounded both physically and mentally by his previous pursuit of this serial killer, Hardy has since withdrawn himself from the public eye.
Working with a team from the FBI who see him as a liability, Hardy uncovers the clues before him and soon discovers a network of serial killers in the country communicating with one another, with Carroll as ringleader. Re-invigorated with his second chance to capture Carroll, Hardy sets about preventing the ever-growing web of murder he is faced with as he takes on not one, but a cult of serial killers.
