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 do you think? Should The Last Man on Earth TV show have been cancelled? Would you have watched a fifth season of this FOX series?
Just finished watching on Hulu. Loved this show. Loved all the characters and story lines. Funniest episodes were with Fred Armistead. I will miss this show. I could watch a couple of episodes after a bad day and actually feel better. I hope one of the streaming channels picks it back up.
had just started watching last man on earth via hulu. What a surprise! My wife and i could not stop watching. Had never seen this show before, saw some ads in May 2018 but nothing that really got a hold of us. Funny funny show, with some really strange characters. Canceling this show is no doubt a big mistake. Bring it back along with the same characters.
Oh, Farts !
FOX is what should be cancelled! If they’re dumb enough to cancel last man on earth, they have no business even being a network!! They’ve cancelled some of the best shows I’ve ever seen and last man is my favorite. REDICULOUS!
Well hopefully NBC will be the smart ones again
And pick it up like Brooklyn 911 some networks never learn. You can’t stop good comedy.
I loved season one and could not wait to watch more, I did not hardly ever see advertising for it and did not know they continued on after season 2, I recently saw that there were 4 seasons on hulu and am in the 4th season now. I love this show and hope that hulu or netflix picks it up for a season 5 to end the show, I think it is one of the funniest shows out there.
PLEASE rerun Last Man on Earth seasons 1-4 so other people may discover how freaking great this show is. I recently discovered this show and bought all 4 seasons for $100 bucks and binge-watched with my wife. Best $100 we have ever spent. I then turned all my friends on to it at work and their all freaking HOOKED. This is without a doubt the most unique, well written comedy drama ever.
PLEASE GOD PLEASE BRING BACK THE LAST MAN ON EARTH!!!!!! We wait on the edge of our seat for the next episode!!! This show is AMAZING!!! My son says he will no longer be able to live if they end this show. I can’t say I’m far behind him! This show is so unique & so very f*cking funny. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!! Please make more seasons! Why do you always cancel the BEST SERIES???? What is wrong with you people?????
OMG cant belive that it might have no season 5 , i just watch all the seasons last month and i should say that i love it…this series has lots of fans in Iran
Please do a season 5. Love last man on earth.
NO ITI SHOULDNT BE CANCELLED!! wth!!! I WANT TO SEE A FIFTH SEASON I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!
PLEASE MAKE A NEW SEASON! THEY JUST FOUND PEOPLE, YOU CAN’T END IT LIKE THAT. WHYYYY!? We’ve been watching this on beige for two weeks 🙂 Bring it back! 7/27/2018
Please renew for a season 5 and 6 and 7!
Please, please, please let there be a season 5 of The Last Man on Earth!!!! I am dying to know what’s going to happen with all the people from the underground bunker. I need Mike to know he was right all along so he doesn’t have to search anymore away from his brother and friends! Please I’m going to be so sad if that was it! Biggest cliffhanger on a show ever and I’m hating it! BRING ON SEASON 5!!!!!!!
The way I see it, it’s a real shame that shows that try to be different get canned but yet reality TV is non stop. It’s one thing to plan the end of a show but to end it with the most interesting and original cliffhanger in a long time is very sad. Honestly, it would be amazing if people would not watch a network anymore after they do these things to show them that you can’t get people invested in a show just to end it that way. Shame on you for not caring about your viewers.
YES bring on season 5 please. I have been watching since the first episode and i love it!!
