Last Man Standing: Will the Cancelled ABC TV Show Be Revived by FOX?

by Cindy McLennan, May 3, 2018

Will FOX revive the cancelled Last Man Standing TV show on ABC: canceled or renewed?

(ABC / Ron Tom)

It’s still early, but reportedly, FOX may revive Tim Allen’s cancelled Last Man Standing TV show. Check out Allen’s confirmation and more, below.    

One week shy of a year ago, ABC cancelled Last Man Standing after six seasons of relative Nielsen ratings success. Soon thereafter, ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey did her best to dispel rumors that the comedy was cancelled because of its (or Allen’s) conservative political bent and chalked it up to scheduling challenges. Still, Allen said the cancellation “blindsided” him.

Then an ABC sitcom, Last Man Standing centers on straight-talker Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), a man surrounded by women. While this sporting goods store marketer is high on common sense, Mike is a little low on what some call political correctness and others call manners. The ABC cast also included Nancy Travis, Molly Ephraim, Kaitlyn Dever, Amanda Fuller, Jordan Masterson, Flynn Morrison, Jonathan Adams, Christoph Sanders, and Hector Elizondo. Reportedly, the talks with FOX include the idea of bringing back stars in addition to Allen.       

Tim Allen Teases Possible Return of Cancelled Sitcom Last Man Standing

At first, Allen posted a non-specific “stay tuned” tweet to his verified Twitter account. Less than a half an hour later, he gave sufficient detail to rally his audience. Check it out.

 

stay tuned

They heard all your voices people!! LMS just might be a reality. Keep it up. Who wants more #LastManStanding ?

Last Man Standing Could Be Renewed for Season Seven on FOX

Variety soon hopped on the bandwagon. Finally, THR released this report:

ABC’s loss is Fox’s gain.

A year after Disney-owned ABC canceled Tim Allen comedy Last Man Standing, Fox is in early talks to revive the multicamera comedy for a seventh season. Allen, sources say, has signed on and has been — with producers 20th Century Fox Television — the driving force of the revival. Discussions are also underway with producers and stars from the former ABC comedy to return. Insiders stress the talks are on the early side and could break down ahead of the network’s May 14 upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers. Fox and 20th Century Fox Television declined comment.

The Fox studio, where the first six seasons of the comedy were produced, made it known at the time of the cancellation that they would try to find the sitcom new home. Last year, CMT, where Last Man Standing reruns have done quite well in syndication, was in talks to pick up the seventh season. Eventually, the cable network passed on it, reportedly over its price tag.

What do you think? Would you watch a Last Man Standing TV series revival? Do you think the sitcom is a good fit for FOX? Sound off in the comments.

LOVING THIS!!!! My husband and I watch last man standing every week night when we get home from work. This was my absolute favorite show on tv. We got both sides of our families to watch and fall in love with the Baxters. The show NEVER should have been cancelled! REALLY REALLY hoping this comes true!
