The Following

With Joe Carroll awaiting execution on Death Row and all signs of his following erased, Ryan Hardy has moved on from the dark events of his past in the season three premiere. But his newfound happiness is shattered when a series of brutally staged tableaus threatens to tear open old wounds. Ryan and his team are forced to unravel a twisted web of violence before it destroys them all – leading them to face a terrifying truth: Joe Carroll was just the beginning.

Ryan believes he has found the connection between Andrew (guest star ANDREW IRBY) and Mark – but he and the FBI are still unsure if (or how) Joe Carroll might be connected. Meanwhile, tension mounts between Mark, Kyle (guest star HUNTER PARRISH) and Daisy (guest star RUTH KEARNEY) and Ryan soon finds himself in a dangerous situation, in which facing the truth is the only thing that will set him free.

After a devastating loss, Ryan, Weston and Max aim to hunt down who is responsible and make them pay – leading Ryan to take a risk with deadly consequences. Meanwhile, Mark questions the loyalty of Kyle and Daisy, causing tensions to rise amongst the group.

As Kyle, Daisy and Mark Gray plan to make a personal attack on Ryan, the FBI receives a tip leading them to a secret location, giving them a leg up in the case.

On the day of an important trial, things go awry, causing the FBI to split up to hunt down a missing person. With his team breaking apart, Ryan enlists the help of a former enemy to defeat a greater one in the second part of a special two-hour episode.

With their latest target on the run, Ryan and Mike follow a tip to a small town to investigate and confirm he isn’t seeking protection. While in town, they both discover an even larger threat who has managed to avoid suspicion until now. Meanwhile, Max struggles to make a confession. New series star MICHAEL EALY joins the cast as Theo Noble.

With only a few days before Joe Carroll’s execution, Ryan and Mike shift their focus to a new threat. Meanwhile, after being approved to start work again, Max rejoins the task force and comes dangerously close to a deadly menace.

The FBI closes in on a suspect whom they believe to be the culprit behind the latest murders, but Ryan believes the killer is still out there, leading him to dig deeper into dangerous territory. Meanwhile, Joe undergoes evaluation in the days leading up to his execution and a new threat tries to cover his tracks.

After the latest shocking discovery, Ryan finds himself being tracked by the new elusive killer, and a game of cat-and-mouse begins – leading them both back to Joe Carroll for different reasons. Meanwhile, Max and Mike look for the stolen clue and Mark makes a shocking decision.

With Joe Carroll’s execution day upon them, the team remains on edge – expecting that he won’t go easily. Their fears are realized when a hostage situation at the prison forces Ryan to go in alone as the whole world watches.

The investigation leads the team to a dangerous serial killer linked to Theo, while Theo and Penny (guest star MEGALYN ECHIKUNWOKE) seek refuge from an unknown source with the means of helping them disappear. Meanwhile, Ryan struggles with recent events, sending him into a downward spiral, and the search continues into which agent has been accessing Daisy’s laptop from inside the FBI.

An increasingly reckless Ryan continues his search for Theo, as Mark and Daisy discover information that leads them closer to the FBI than ever – putting Mike in a dangerous situation.

A deadly deal is made, but things don’t go as planned. And Ryan makes a decision for his future.

The FBI hunt for Theo continues and the stakes are higher than ever as some of their own come under attack in the first part of a two-hour season finale.

As suspicions rise, alliances are shaken and no one is safe in the harrowing, final heart-stopping moments of the second part of a two-hour season finale.

Creator Kevin Williamson and the Cast discuss the the alternative Season Two ending, a brand new story line: whether serial Killer Joe Carroll is alive or dead, and how that might impact Season Three.
