Last Man Standing is getting ready for a big moment, and one of the members of the cast is talking all about it. Amanda Fuller is not only starring on the (now) season eight finale, but she is directing the episode. This is her first time doing so.
Amanda Fuller revealed that ‘the baby is coming’ during the episode. The season has worked up to that moment. However, the episode was not meant to be the season finale. FOX shutdown production on the series the day before the cast was set to film the actual season finale.
Fuller said the following about the shutdown of Last Man Standing by FOX to TV Line:
“No… That last tape night, I don’t think any of us thought it would be our last. There was no talk of that. It wasn’t until Friday, after rehearsing [Episode 22] for a few days, that we were all like, “Um, how are we going to do this?” And that was only three days after our last tape night, so that’s how quickly [things changed]. We made the decision to not do it in front of a live audience on Friday, but it wasn’t until Sunday night that we actually shut down, the night before we were supposed to shoot it. So it all happened really fast. My dressing room is still intact. None of us, as far as I know, were able to go back and empty out our dressing rooms. Fox was like, “Don’t come back on the lot,” and that was it.”
It is not known if the series will be able to film its true season finale at a later date. Last Man Standing has yet to be renewed for a ninth season.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this series? Are you excited for the finale?
Love this show. Watch it all the time.
Love this show!
I love this series I hope it will return, it’s one of our favorites.
Yes love the show should come back
Love this show. The only comedy I watch
I love last man standing and I REALLY WANT IT RENEWED! It is the funniest show on tv!
I love this show.
Fought to have it renewed when ABC cancelled it for no reason so yes, I want it renewed. Tim Allen is a comic genius.
I love this show-would miss it very much if it doesnt renew. I hope it does. Understand why filming shut down at this time but hope that the original final season show can tape.
We love this show, I would hate to see it end!
Love this show. Want to see it renew.
I can’t believe Fox is canceling this show so abruptly. One of my very favorite TV shows
Such a disappointment!
It’s not being cancelled. They had to stop production because of the coronavirus outbreak. The show technically hasn’t been renewed or cancelled yet. The show isn’t in any danger and will more than likely be back for a Season 9.
It’s hard to tell if this is a series finale or a season finale. I assume the shut down is due to CO-vid 19. That is understandable.
I hope FOX doesn’t cut this show. They already cut Deputy. There are very few Networks that I will even watch because they are so far left. I don’t want to add FOX to my do not watch list too.
If there were more shows like this, the world would be in a better place, TRULY! It’s contemporary, upbeat enough, very funny, relatable WITHOUT being rude, offensive, or condescending. It does NOT insult our intelligence and Tim Allen’s delivery is again, non – offensive. All the characters deliver, and their character’s personalities show through! Please
give this show the chance it truly deserves!!!!!
Thanks for a great show. I really identify with Mike. He loves his wife and she knows it. So she can put up with his sarcasm and always love anyway. Mike totally supports her, no matter what.
