Actor Shawn Ashmore has once revealed that there was no deal with Netflix for 'The Following' season 4. But many fans are still eager to see the season comes to life in other network or streaming services, after FOX has already dropped the show. But whether or not the show will be picked up, Netflix remains silent about the issue.
When Fox cancelled Kevin Bacon's show, fans stood behind 'The Following' and waited for its renewal as another network picks it up. And they waited. But after the 'The Following' season 4 cancellation by the network, reports were surfacing that the show's crew were doing their best to be hopefully picked up by other networks. But according to Design & Trend, most networks even the streaming service, Hulu, had declined their offer. That makes Netflix the last hope for the show.
But the fans' hope of renewal of 'The Following' season 4 was crushed once again after it was reported that the speculation about Netflix picking up the series was only a hoax.
Actor Shawn Ashmore, who played the role of Agent Mike Weston in the Fox series, already addressed these rumors and clarified that 'The Following' has not been picked up by Netflix.
And let's face it. Netflix was not even responding to any speculations regarding the possible renewal of 'The Following'. And most of the cast members did bid their farewells on their Twitter accounts already. 'The Following' twitter page is also not as active as before.
And looking at the petition status of 'The Following' Season 4, the numbers weren't moving up fast enough. During the first week of July, the petition was around thirteen thousand. As of this moment, it seems like the number of people who signed up the petition is still the same or it did move up but a little bit. This could only mean that fans and viewers of the show may have moved on and have already given up their hopes for the comeback.
What do you think about the possibility of renewal? Sound off your comments below for the cancelled 'The Following' season 4.
