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 was 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.
Some fans of the show can’t still get enough of “The Following” just yet as they were simply not convinced that “The Following” had to go and will not go down without a fight.
That’s when they decided to initiate an online petition among the loyal viewers of the show and make their signature campaign a tool for the show producers to either convince Fox to reconsider its decision of cancelling “The Following” or use it as a marketing tool to have another network or a streaming service pick up the show and rescue it from cancellation. Unfortunately, the petition fell short in terms of number so it was not enough to convince even the show producers to really fight for it.
