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.
