Fox sums it up by saying that fans of the show did not fight for “The Following” hard. And this was quite evident with its online petition.
The petition has actually targeted to collect 25,000 fan signatures for its petition, but the network only recorded 13,000 signatures which clearly indicate that the TV series had lost its luster.
Season 4 of “The Following” on Fox may have been gone for good as early as May this year, but the show’s merchandise are still being marketed online.
Looking into the Facebook account of the TV series, it seems that it actually took the show almost two months before it officially ended marketing merchandise products to its fans including coffee mugs, stickers, T-shirts, caps, among others.
The last post on the Facebook page of “The Following” was dated July 3, which is about a month and a half after the show aired its final episode on May 18 and whose cancellation was announced by Fox shortly thereafter.
However, over at the Fox online store, other merchandise of the products are still up for grabs including Blu-Ray DVD sets, a bloody hand print rock glass, a blouse, a paper weight, a sweatshirt, poster, notebooks, and some more.
