February 20, 2015 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, The Following
THE FOLLOWING is shifting its focus from the Ryan Hardy/Joe Carroll cat-and-mouse game to a more Ryan-centric show in its third season.
With the loss of Joe and his followers as the season’s central Big Bad, the show is bringing in new new faces to stir up trouble. ALMOST HUMAN’s Michael Ealy will appear this season as Theo, whom the producers teased “can be different people in different lives, and it allows him to be anything he wants to be.” And kicking off the season, there is a new couple causing mayhem for Ryan and the FBI.

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING Season 3 Premiere: ‘New Blood’ Photos
THE FOLLOWING is returning for its third season, and things will be a little different.
“This season is a very crucial season — what is life after Joe Carroll?” THE FOLLOWING co-showrunner Alexi Hawley recently shared. “He plays a big part of this season, but at the same time, this season is about moving past him. It’s about introducing new villains. It’s about moving the center of the show a little bit to Ryan Hardy.”
And as you can see in the first photos from “New Blood,” while Joe, technically, appears, it’s not in the flesh. Check them out…

THE FOLLOWING season 3 premieres Monday, March 2nd at 9 PM on Fox.

THE FOLLOWING Bosses on a Ryan Hardy-Centric Season 3, Michael Ealy’s New Big Bad, and More
February 9, 2015 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, The Following
We’re just three weeks away from the two-hour season premiere of THE FOLLOWING, and things are set to be a bit different when the show returns.
First of all, the Joe Carroll chapter of the series is over. While Carroll made it out alive (and James Purefoy’s Carroll will appear on the show) — thanks to an alternate ending not making the final cut — the focus of the show will shift more fully to Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy. (And Ryan will have to contend with a new baddie this season.)
There’s also been a behind-the-scenes transition in showrunners, as THE FOLLOWING creator Kevin Williamson has handed over showrunner duties to a trio of show vets: writers/executive producers Brett Mahoney and Alexi Hawley, as well as director/executive producer Marcos Siega. (Williamson has been focused on CBS’ STALKER.)
I spoke with Mahoney and Hawley about the transition to showrunning THE FOLLOWING, “moving the center of the show,” why fans of THE FOLLOWING newbie Michael Ealy will be excited by the season, and more…

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING Season 3: ALMOST HUMAN’s Michael Ealy Lands a Series Regular Role
Former ALMOST HUMAN star Michael Ealy is staying in the Fox family: a rep for the show has confirmed that Ealy will join THE FOLLOWING in season 3. According to Deadline, Ealy will be a series regular.
Details about Ealy’s character (including his name/first episode) are being kept on the DL for now, but according to TVLine, he’ll play a “brilliant, chameleon-like murderer who’ll test Ryan Hardy’s limits.”
(Also, TV is a small world: Ealy’s former COMMON LAW costar Warren Cole also had an arc on THE FOLLOWING back in season 1.)
Are you excited to see Ealy on THE FOLLOWING?

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING: Showrunner Jennifer Johnson to Exit
THE FOLLOWING’s new showrunner Jennifer Johnson is leaving the Fox drama to focus on developing new projects for WBTV, a source confirms.
Johnson’s exit (which was first reported by Deadline) comes less than three months after she joined the series, and just a month after she appeared at Comic-Con to promote the show. She had been brought in to replace THE FOLLOWING creator/showrunner Kevin Williamson, who stepped down from his day-to-day duties to focus on his new series, STALKER.

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING: Jessica Stroup and Sam Underwood Tease ‘Really, Really Big Things’ for Max/Mike, Mark’s Desire for Revenge, and More
THE FOLLOWING’s Max and Mark couldn’t have ended the second season in more opposite ways: for Mark, he lost everything — his mother and twin brother, Luke, were killed, and he was on his own. (Sort of.) But Max found herself in a good spot — after she took out Luke (and Joe Carroll was officially placed under arrest), she and Mike finally acted on the chemistry that had been building all year.
But rarely do things stay the status quo on THE FOLLOWING. And since season 3 will kick off with a time jump, in the video below Jessica Stroup (Max) teased “really, really big things” are happening for the Mike/Max (one of which will be devastating for the duo), while Underwood previewed Mark having to hide in plain site, and emerging from the emotional disaster of the past year…

Filed under #1 featured, The Following
For two seasons, Ryan Hardy’s obsession with catching Joe Carroll (and the duo’s twisted relationship) drove THE FOLLOWING’s storytelling. But now, Joe has been recaptured — and won’t be escaping — while Ryan will be facing a brand new threat in season 3.
So how will the series handle the massive shift in the show’s dynamic? And why did they ultimately opt to keep Joe alive after filming an alternate ending where he was killed? After the show’s Comic-Con panel, director/executive producer Marcos Siega and new showrunner Jennifer Johnson spoke with reporters about that, how James Purefoy (Joe) handled being in the dark about not knowing his character’s fate, and more…

Comments Off on THE FOLLOWING Season 3: Zuleikha Robinson Joins as Ryan’s New Love
THE FOLLOWING’s Ryan Hardy will have a new love, Gwen in season 3, and a rep for the show confirms that Zuleikha Robinson (LOST, HOMELAND) has landed the series regular role. Deadline was first to report the casting.
“Ryan finds love, and he’s in an incredibly happy place, but we’re going to challenge that,” new showrunner Jennifer Johnson said at Comic-Con last month.
“What we know so far is they’re happy together,” Kevin Bacon (Ryan) added. “She’s a doctor. We are living together. And she has a daughter. So I’m actually trying to experience some domesticity.”
But it’s THE FOLLOWING, so that surely can’t last…
THE FOLLOWING returns in early 2015 on Fox.
