Kevin Bacon stars in The Following as former FBI agent Ryan Harding, who is called back to service when a serial killer he put away eight years ago escapes from prison. The tension-filled show sees Bacon pulled back into his old life, where he had a relationship with the killer’s ex-wife.

The killer in question now has a network of followers willing to hide him and perform murders for him. The Following also stars James Purefoy (Rome), as the killer, a former college professor who killed young women to honour the writer Edgar Allen Poe. Now in prison, he has created a network of copycat killers.

The show is 15 episodes long and premiered on Fox but can be seen on Sky Living. Check out the trailer in the video above.
