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.

BRING IT BACK!! I’VE BEEN WATCHING SINCE SEASON ONE! THAT’S 3 MF YEARS!
Why cancle it it was great, super funny and just getting more interrsting. Very sad right now. Bring iy back to at least finish it off.
Please bring this show back. This was one of the few shows that actually looked forward to watching every week. It was funny and original. Due to poor marketing, I only found this show in the last season. Bring it back and market it better. I know so many who would love this show.
Me too it’s very disappointing to leave us hanging with the way it ended.
One of my favorites shows. they need to bring it back we want more. Give us another season please!!!
Great concept, super funny. This comedy is not for everyone. That said it hits it out of the park if you like this style of comedy. Too bad it wasn’t well marketed. Hopefully someone picks it up.
Best comedy in years, hopefully someone else will pick this up & advertise it properly. I’m going n the UK & had never heard of this until I found it by accident online. Proper advertising & this would be a MAJOR hit over here. Several friends I’ve recommended it to love it too.
My wife and I. Watched the entire series in A week. We were very disappointed that season five Was cancelled. It’s a refreshing change of the crap that is usually on TV in the evenings. Please bring it back for another five seasons or more. It’s the best thing since Breaking Bad.
How could you cancel the best show you ever had?!?! Pleeeeease bring it back! I swear I will never watch fox again if you don’t bring back “Last Man on Earth” ! And fox is my fav chanel! I am firm on this! ! If threats don’t work I am willing to beg! Bring them back for a season 5! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!

Pleeeaaase please please PLEASE! bring back Last Man On Earth!! I am the brother that Jake brought up earlier. I used to get as excited for Sunday nights as i would for Christmas or any other holiday soley bc that was when a new episode aired. It is hands down one of the best tv series made. Please dont crush that holiday spirit for me :[
Bring it back please!! Its my brother’s and my favorite show and the both of us already rewatched it several times. We eagerly sought for any online rumors for a season 5 renewal/air date immediately after watching the season 4 finally only to find some very discouraging news to say the least. Will Forte is a gem and the show has been severely underestimated by the network in light of its creative brilliance. I have adored this series greatly from start to finish per say. Nothing would please me more than to find out how the end of this world… Read more »
