In April 2025, Kevin Bacon's horror series, The Bondsman, took over the main graph of the Prime Ministersignaling the arrival of what seemed to be another popular series for Strimmer. Only a month later, The premiere video canceled "Bondsman" In a surprising turnaround of events that reminded us of the entire inconsistent nature of the streaming sphere. For Bacon, however, this was not the first time he was leading the initially popular shows with a grisel strip that was canceled ahead of his time.

As early as 2013, the actor debuted as a former FBI agent Ryan Hardy in the "next". The "Crime Thriller" series was created by Kevin Williamson, which is best known for writing "Srik" and several of its sequels, as well as the creation of the archetypal teen drama series "Dawson of Creek". In the "next", however, Williamson has been involved in an even more violent and nasty tone, with Hardy following Bacon's serial killer, Oeo Carroll (Jamesiyes Purefoy), a former college professor who killed young women in honor of Edgar Alan. The first season shows that Carol avoids the death order, starting a tense game with cats and mice between the killer, his band of Acolites and Hardy.

That initial episode work proved to be popular, and Fox has renewed the series for two more seasons. However, after the third season ended, the network killed the "next". What happened? Well, nothing so shocking, because the series just couldn't keep its audience.

When the "next" debuted in 2013, Fun weekly Called one of their "9 hot new shows" and interviewed Kevin Williamson, who told him "exit" that he was excited when he first set Fox's "next" because it was the network that hosted his favorite show, "24". The creator of the show even revealed that there was some Jackack Bauer in Ryan Hardy. That, along with some stunning snacks killings and an attractive story of a serial killer with a Kabbal of dedicated followers made for the hit series. It helped him Kevin Bacon - who previously thought his career ended after a special horror movie - It was also on the ship, with the "next" represented by the first big frague of the Starwar veteran in TV à la Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson with "real detective".

Indeed, the "following" debuted in a strong rating and seemed to be based on that success after entering Sunday's numbers and showed that the series overthrew its figures for the premiere review-something no other drama achieved for the same season. That intensity remained during season 1, with the "next" finishing his debut season as the highest ranked new series in adults aged 18-49, according to The deadline.

The second season expanded the world of the show, introducing Hardy's granddaughter in the form of Nyujork's detective, Max Hardy (Esessica Strup), which helps his uncle in the search to recover Oeo Carroll, who lied to his death in the previous season. The second season has also introduced a new cult with Lily Gray (Nielsen) as her figure. Season 3 Then he followed Hardy's life after Carol's arrest, showing him as a namely with a new Love -Board of interest named Gwen (Zuleiiha Robinson). However, it is not much time before a new killer and cult appears, forcing Hardy into another game with cats and mice. Unfortunately, by the time the season 3 is over, things have changed significantly in terms of grades.

The "next" debuted on January 21, 2013 and was canceled on 8.05.2015 after three seasons. The last episode of the show aired on 18.05.2015. There was no particularly sensational reason for the cancellation, as the show seems to lose viewers with each subsequent season. How The deadline Reported in May 2015, the series simply could not maintain its intensity after the successful first season.

By comparison, the premiere of Season 1 was seen by 15.10 million viewers (including the spectators of the DRI who watch post-eminence) and the final of the season brought to 11.32 spectators. Season 2 debuted at 14.24 spectators and ended with 7.28, while the premiere of Season 3 was seen by 7.94 spectators. By the end of his last season, the show was watched by 5.10 spectators. According to the deadline, the "next" had "strong attraction of the DRI/on request", but that simply could not make up for the shortage of live viewers and Fox pulled the plug. There was talk of the show's move to Julu and become a streaming series, but these plans were reportedly lifted early. However, at least the "next" had a decent deadline compared to Great performances that have been canceled after only one season.

It is worth noting that, during its work, the "following" faced criticism of its graphic violence, with critics interrogating Kevin Williamson on whether his series is indirectly responsible for the acts of violence. But this seemingly did not play in giving up the show, with Williamson telling reporters (through The deadline) that Fox did not try to force him to tone some of the more graphic scenes on the show.
