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. Based on the ratings, I believe a fifth season renewal is in the cards. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments.

What can we do to keep this show on for one more season? My husband and I looked forward to watching Last Man On Earth… only show we have to watch. Enjoy others, but this is our favorite. I do not like unanswered questions… need closure. So disappointed.
Where can we lodge a formal complaint. Won’t matter because this is all because of that Sports deal they did. Still, I want to give them a piece of my mind.
Oh Farts! Please bring back the best show! I’m devastated to hear the news.
It’s horrible to leave those of us that love this show hanging out to dry with no resolve on the last episode. WE WANT MORE! Please bring back a 5th season so we can find out the back story on all the new people they found!
