    The Kevin Williamson drama will not return for a fourth season.

    With three new dramas — and likely at least one more to come — Fox has cleared some shelf space by cancellingThe Followingafter three seasons.

    A breakout hit when it premiered midseason 2013,The Followinghas steadily lost its audience (a post-NFL ratings pop last year, excluded) since the premiere, and the third season seemed to solidify that its viewership would not be bouncing back. With timeshifting, it still pulls 5.5 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49, but same-day showings have dwindled — even with a lead-in fromGotham.

    I was into the idea of how they were airing The Following. 14 shows in 14 weeks, no reruns.

    The show was a good idea.

    Needed to be on cable so they could be more adult.
