Telly’s Take
Wil FOX cancel or renew The Last Man on Earth for season five? Even after the fourth season is in the can, the show’s a little light on episodes for a good sized syndication package.

Definitely do not want the show cancelled so funny
Please do not cancel! Love love this show
Love it!
Probably the best show EVER!!!!! Very unique! Please keep it going.

Please renew this series for a fifth season. It is witty, deep, and well acted. The fourth season ended on a cliff hanger, so I think that the show needs one more season to tie up loose ends.
Please please please please pretty please renew the last man on earth ! It’s my adult time haha and love it !!!
Please renew Last Man on Earth for a fifth season! My husband and I love this show!!!!!

I love this show. My husband & I look forward to watching it every Sunday. The character have great chemistry, the story is always changing & it’s funny. Bring it back for another season…again & again.
Please renew! I laugh thru every episode and in todays world we need a good laugh! “Burn”!
“what a beautiful daughter-rise”… me and my boyfriend also cannot stop laughing and loving the show!
