Typical with TV series that have been cancelled, producers Warner Bros Television made two different actions to try to salvage the show. The first is to look for other network or streaming service to rescue the show from cancellation. And the other is to initiate a signature campaign among viewers to make Fox realize that it has made a wrong decision in cancelling “The Following.”
As the show is now officially cancelled based on the scorecard of TV shows for the 2014-15 season as reported by Metacritic, it clearly appears that Warner Bros Television has failed in both endeavors, which is the reason why the Kevin Bacon-starrer TV series remains cancelled to this day.
The cancellation of the show certainly caught producers Warner Bros Television by surprise because it would not have agreed with a hanging finale as carried out by the show creator had it known that Season 3 would be its last.
The producers would have told the show creator that Season 3 should put a wrap on every burning question and issue so that fans and viewers would feel that there is a closure.
But that is not the case for “The Following” as Season 3 left a lot of unanswered questions, making fans feeling short-changed. It’s no different to going to a theater to watch a movie and just when it came to the point of its climax, the moviegoer steps out of the moviehouse and goes home for good.
