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?
great show, glad it was SMARTLY picked up after abc cancelled it, good show for the whole family, funny ,well written and acted, hope it gets renewed for 5 more seasons at least.
Go for season 9+. I love this show and would be highly dissappointed if Fox cancelled it. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak we need something to laugh at, something to break up the doom and gloom that the News networks are spouting all day. RENEW immediately.
Please don’t cancel. My family looks forward to watching it.
Love this show. Please don’t cancel it
I can’t get enough of this show. I LOVE IT. Why end something that is so different, refreshingly irreverent, funny etc?.. so much garbage on tv and we lose this series!
We want the finale! It is a great show and my entire family watches the episodes!
Best show on tv!!!!
Please cancel this mindless show. Tim Allen uses this for a political site to jab at democrats. Tired of seeing the same old stupid episodes. Actually quit watching when Allen started his digs. Maybe his drug use from years ago fried his brains.
It’s the only show I wait to see…..love Mike’s political views and most of all the family values and lessons
Love this show! Please do not cancel.
I want the show to continue!!! Absolutely love it!!
I really like the show. Great cast good comedy.
I enjoy this show it seems so real like a family whose foundation is love and support and bold with opinion
My absolute favorite sitcom EVER I tape them so if I miss one and I can rewatch. I watch reruns on CMT daily. Tim Allen is great I went and saw him when he came to Indy last summer. DO NOT CANCEL THIS SERIES
Love love the show. Please bring back.
