THE FOLLOWING: Connie Nielsen Added As a Series Regular

With Claire’s fate on THE FOLLOWING potentially up in the air (though the clip that was shown at Comic-Con seemed to indicate one particular outcome), Ryan Hardy will have another woman enter his life when the series returns: Connie Nielsen (recently of BOSS and LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT) has been cast as in the series regular role Lily Gray, a Fox rep has confirmed. TVLine was the first to report the news.

So who is this new character? Lily is a Soho art dealer, who finds herself in trouble…only to have Ryan come to her assistance. But when the two begin to bond, things get a bit problematic. (Is it wrong I’m already suspicious of her?)

THE FOLLOWING is set to return in early 2014.
