'The Following' Season 2 Spoilers, Comic Con 2013 [PHOTOS & VIDEO]: Joe Carroll Lives? Ryan Hardy at Peace? 'First Season Was Prologue'

Comic Con 2013 in San Diego has given us plenty of news and spoilers in regards to some of the most anticipated upcoming shows and films. So it comes as no surprise that one of the most suspenseful shows of 2013 had an incredible panel at the convention. FOX's "The Following" took over earlier this year, introducing us to Ryan Hardy, Joe Carroll, and a slew of "followers" as well. Thanks to the show's panel at Comic Con, the season one cliffhanger has been answered and we found out who is returning for season two. (SPOILERS to follow)

Through a series of Tweets from the show's official Twitter account, the updates from the panel for "The Following" were broadcast to fans that could not make it to San Diego.
