The Following Season 2 is due to return to our TV screens on 20th January 2014.

Synopsis for The Following: Series Two Episode One: Resurrection:

Despite appearances a healed Ryan Hardy (Bacon) has gotten his life together, he continues to obsess about Joe Carroll (Purefoy); a murderous rampage on the anniversary of Joe’s death leaves everyone determined to uncover the truth.

Lizzie Borden Took An Axe:

Lifetime will premiere a movie of parent killer Lizzie Borden, which stars Christina Ricci, on January 25th next year.

Directed by Nick Gomez (Dexter, Flash Forward), the film also stars Billy Campbell as Borden’s lawyer and Clea DuVall (Zodiac, Argo) as her sister.

Synopsis:

It’s not just a disturbing nursery rhyme! Now the true story of how Lizzie Borden murdered her parents (or did she?) in the summer of 1892 is being brought to Lifetime, with Christina Ricci as the eponymous Lizzie. The true-crime case captured national attention when it first happened, proving that Americans obsession with scandalous and sordid tales is nothing new.
