Think THE FOLLOWING has been addictively good so far? Things are about to get even crazier.
Tonight’s episode, “The Siege,” kicks off the first of a two-episode arc, and based on what the show’s stars had to say about what’s going down, the show will never be the same…

Comments Off on ‘We Have Thoughts’ Vodcast: Danielle and Marisa Share Some More of Their Favorite TV Moments of the Season
Earlier this week, my friend/vodcast partner-in-crime Danielle Turchiano (from Made Possible By Pop Culture) and I once again put up a special version of our “We Have Thoughts” vodcast as we sat down to discuss some of our favorite moments from the TV season so far.
But we aren’t the type to only have a few opinions, so we decided to share some more bite-sized opinions about what’s going on in our favorite shows…
THE FOLLOWING: Adan Canto and Nico Tortorella Tease ‘The Poet’s Fire’

THE FOLLOWING has laid out several interesting relationships in the first couple of episodes, but the dynamic between Paul, Jacob, and Emma starts to really unfold in tonight’s brand new episode.
“Oh man, I’m really excited about [the episode],” Adan Canto (Paul) said. “I’m excited because you’ll see little by little, things we’re uncovering. And you’ll know a lot of these characters on a more intimate level.”
“Our next episode, you’re going to see more of the interworkings of our little triangle…[how it] all fits together,” Nico Tortorella (Jacob) elaborated. “There is a new follower that is being tracked down whose name is Rick and we learn about his relationship with us.”
The episode also serves to shed a little bit of light on how close Paul and Jacob got while they spent a couple of years pretending to be a couple.

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING: Shawn Ashmore and Annie Parisse on Being Drawn to the Series and Getting Gradual Character Development
For those already under THE FOLLOWING’s spell, there’s no doubt the show is something special. And for it to truly work, it had to attract just the right group of actors.
“I was actively looking to do a television show, so…I was reading up on the pilots, auditioning for a bunch of things, and this was just my favorite show this year,” Shawn Ashmore (Mike) said. “I read it and I was like, this is something I would love to be a part of — this is something I would watch. Kevin Williamson wrote an amazing script that drew me in, and Kevin Bacon (Ryan) and James Purefoy (Joe) were also already cast, so I was like, this thing already has a great pedigree. I love them as actors, I can see where they’re going, and obviously the show really depends on the relationship between these two. I can see their strengths, I can see where that might go. So it was exciting. And I’ve worked with Marcos Siega — who directed the pilot — before, so it was like, I’m going to really go after this show. You do what you do: you audition, you test, you do whatever you need to do. And I’m just lucky I came out on the other side. I just loved the character and I loved the show. It’s something I would watch myself.”
As for Annie Parisse — whose character, Parker, debuts in tonight’s episode — she had a bit of an advantage going into the series.

Now that you’ve finally had a chance to see THE FOLLOWING’s pilot, you understand why I’m obsessed with the show, don’t you? (If you missed the show’s debut on Monday, Fox is reairing the pilot tonight at 9 PM.)
The good news? The show keeps getting better.
Take a look at some photos from Monday’s brand new episode, “Chapter Two”…
THE FOLLOWING: James Purefoy on Filming the Pilot’s Chilling Final Scene
January 22, 2013 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, The Following
For as vocal as I’ve been about my love of THE FOLLOWING, one thing I couldn’t talk about pre-premiere was the absolutely chilling final scene between Joe Carroll and Ryan Hardy: with Carroll locked up again, he (vaguely) laid out his plans to make Ryan his “flawed hero” in their “sequel.”
In order for the series (and their cat and mouse games) to work, that scene had to be solid. You needed to buy Carroll and Hardy as worthy competitors, you needed to feel the tension, and the stakes of what was to come needed to be clear. And for me, I felt it was the best scene in any pilot this year.
When I spoke with James Purefoy about what’s to come for Carroll (look for more from that later this week!), I asked him about the experience of filming that final sequence, and he seemed pleased with it.

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING’s Kevin Williamson: “I Don’t Sit Down to Write the Horror; I Sit Down to Write the Moment After It’
Fox’s THE FOLLOWING finally has its series debut tomorrow night (that’s Monday, January 21st at 9 PM), and there’s been a whole lot of talk about it being too violent, too gory, too [insert your choice criticism here]. And while I’m not going to lie and say this show is for every single person — it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s okay — it’s also the most compelling new series of the year.
I sat down with THE FOLLOWING creator Kevin Williamson to talk about the misconceptions about the series, if the first season is self-contained, making a “hybrid” series, and more…
