Does 'the following' mean 'the next' here?
Is it okay to understand "the following afternoon / month / year / week" means "the next afternoon / month / year / week"?
Thank you in advance.

Sort of. The following afternoon is the afternoon that follows. But it usually means the afternoon of the following day.
We don't usually say "the next afternoon". We have set expressions:
next year
next month
tomorrow afternoon
etc...

basically, yes.
"the next afternoon" would sound awkward though. you can simply say "tomorrow afternoon."
