Cult thriller series The Following is set to return to Netflix in 2026, after an eight-year break. The show, which originally aired from 2013 to 2015, follows former FBI agent Ryan Hardy as he pursues a serial killer and his cult of followers.
The series starred Kevin Bacon as Ryan Hardy and James Purefoy as the charismatic killer Joe Carroll. It gained a dedicated fan base during its three-season run on Fox, known for its intense cat-and-mouse dynamics and psychological twists.
Netflix has not yet confirmed whether the return will be a revival with new episodes or simply a re-release of the original series. However, the announcement has sparked excitement among fans who have long hoped for the show's comeback.
The streaming platform has been expanding its library of cult classics and revivals, making The Following the latest addition to its roster. Further details about the release date and format are expected to be announced in the coming months.
