From Kevin Williamson comes The Following, Fox’s new serial killer thriller TV show. “When notorious serial killer Joe Carroll escapes from death row and embarks on a new killing spree, the FBI calls former agent Ryan Hardy (Bacon) to consult on the case. Having since withdrawn from the public eye, Hardy was responsible for Carroll’s capture nine years ago, after Carroll murdered 14 female students on the Virginia college campus where he taught literature.” The Following premieres midseason although Fox’s record for drama of late is a little patchy.
