Airing on Sunday nights, The Last Man on Earth has never been a hit in the ratings and the numbers keep dropping. Will they keep falling? Will the FOX show be cancelled or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a fourth season so there will be enough episodes for a syndication package? Stay tuned.
On The Last Man on Earth, a deadly virus has devastated the planet and Phil Miller (Will Forte) believes he’s the last human alive. Phil eventually finds other survivors and he ends up being alternatingly elated and miserable. What will happen next? The rest of the cast includes Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mel Rodriguez, Mary Steenburgen, and Cleopatra Coleman.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The second season of The Last Man on Earth averaged a 1.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.75 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

I would be so disappointed if they cancelled it. My sister and I love this show.
It is such a great show, I’ll be really sad not to see it come back and to be left hanging!!! Seasons 4, season 4, season 4, season 4…
I love this show, but it needs to step up a notch, more visits to common places and more exciting stuff. You have to think what would you do in their situation.
Does go a bit stale as surly if you were last man on earth, you certainly wouldnt be sitting around all the time but having loads of fun
Please please please keep the show going, tandy is friggin halar ”
Don’t cancel you friggin terd!!
I do not believe this ratings. This show is super popular not only in the USA. Its popular all around the world. If FOX will decide to cancel the show they will make a really bad financial move. Perhaps they should think to do the show a bit longer, maybe that’s the case. 20 minutes show with opening and ending? people don’t even have time to turn the tv on.
Renew Last man on earth!!
Don’t cancel the show!! My husband and I love this show! It’s one of our favorites! Watch it every Monday when it comes out on Hulu!
I can’t wait for next season
