Now here’s a show to get excited about – Kevin Bacon pitted against James Purefoy in Fox’s nail-biting new thriller, The Following.
Purefoy plays notorious serial killer Joe Carroll, who escapes from death row and embarks on a new killing spree, while Bacon is former FBI agent Ryan Hardy, called in to help track him down. Hardy was responsible for Carroll’s capture nine years earlier, after Carroll murdered 14 female students on a university campus, and he is an expert on the killer’s methods, but nowadays he’s not too stable.
The FBI team includes all-business and tough-as-nails Jennifer Mason (Alcatraz‘s Jeananne Goossen) and young, razor-sharp Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore from X-Men), while Justified‘s Natalie Zea plays Carroll’s ex-wife and mother of his 10-year-old son, Joey.
The trailer’s below these pictures.
