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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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.
What do you think? Do you like The Last Man on Earth TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled instead of renewed for a fourth season?
5/10 update: FOX has renewed The Last Man on Earth for a fourth season. Details here.
Please renew. I love this show.
I love this show and I don’t have cable! I watch it on hulu! I don’t know if that counts but please please please don’t cancel it! Maybe a little less annoying songs from Tandy though. Love Tandy he makes the show but the over the top dragging on on on makes the show a little annoying at times. He is a brilant actor stop making ppl want to plug their ears at times. A little is funny the hole show is over the top with speeches and songs
The ratings are good enough for renewal. That is all that matters.
My favorite show!!! Please renew another season (esp with K Wigg coming on)!!! Put it on at a better time. I have to record it because it’s either against Walking Dead or some other show I watch at 9PM
Love this show, I usually don’t watch live because it airs the same time as Walking Dead, but i religiously watch it the next day. Kristen Wigg is going to be a breath of fresh air. PLEASE renew
They need to take into consideration the amount of viewers watching via Hulu and other means. Just because 2 million watch via cable doesn’t mean 10 million aren’t watching it on Hulu. Cable is becoming more obsolete with Every new day. Keep the show
DO NOT CANCEL PLEASE, it doesn’t matter if some of you people don’t like it, there are still so many of us that really do love it
Please cancel
Cancel the damned thing!!
PLEASE DO NOT END IT ITS MY FAVORITE TV SHOW OF ALL TIME AND I CANT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT IT
Kristen Whig is going to be on the next season given the chance it’ll do better just like old Saturday Night Live did when they were on the show at the same time. Plus we need to see how this all ends. We hate it when a channel ends a show…. like the series Joey back in the day.
One of the best TV shows on today. Cutter reminds me of old TV series that you can get into sit down with your family and enjoy. Please don’t make another reality show that takes over a good TV series. Again if you played the series consistently and not have so many gaps you’d probably noticed that people watch for. It’s my favorite show on TV I would be very irritated to see it get cancelled. If you do decide to cancel it please sell the rights to someone like Netflix so they can continue on with the series.
LOVE this show!! Keep it! Now that Kristin Whig is going to be in the next season how could you cancel it?????
It needs a fourth season.
Probably the worst show since that Kramer guy from Seinfeld took a run at being lead dog in a comedy series. Fortunately they killed that dog super-fast. Shoulda done the same with this tripe.
