Last Man Standing is sticking around. FOX just announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a ninth season which is expected to air sometime in 2021 (depending on when production can resume).
The comedy series revolves around Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), the marketing director of the Outdoor Man sporting goods stores and a “man’s man”. His family doesn’t see eye-to-eye with him so it can sometimes be a little tough for Mike to stand his ground and stay in touch with his inner man. The cast also includes Nancy Travis, Hector Elizondo, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders, Molly McCook, Jordan Masterson, Jonathan Adams, and Krista Marie Yu.
The eighth season of Last Man Standing averaged a 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.25 million viewers. Compared to season seven, that’s down by 32% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership. Despite the ratings dip, Last Man Standing is still one of FOX‘s higher-rated scripted TV shows for the 2019-20 season.
FOX’s The Resident was also renewed for a fourth season today. “The Resident and Last Man Standing are such important parts of FOX, and we’re so pleased they will be returning next season,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, for FOX Entertainment. “We want to thank all of the writers, actors, directors, producers and talented crews for both of these shows, and, of course, our friends and producing partners at 20th Century Fox Television.”
What do you think? Do you watch the Last Man Standing TV show? Will you watch season nine on FOX?
I’ve been watching from the start and will continue to watch till it’s no longer on. Tim is funny and the rest of the cast fits in good with his style. This season was alittle tough to catch. Every time i went to watch it was preempted by some dumb show.. But my daughter had them saved for me.. Just keep him on we just like to see a family that has things in their life like the rest of us.
I am so happy last man standing is staying around, it’s the best comedy on TV
I am a long standing fan of Tim Allen and Outdoor Man. I hope that Fox brings it back for an 8th season
Yes!
I will definitely be watching if you renew!
Im thrill Last man standing has be renewed love this show
Last Man standing is my favorite show for sure. So glad it got renewed…
I love this show so happy to know that it is returning for another season. In my opinion, part of the reason the ratings have dropped is some the the casting. I just can’t really get into the new Mandy. She just really doesn’t fit the original character. I also preferred the original Kristen but have gotten use to the current one. I hope that LMS continues for more seasons because there are very few TV shows that I enjoy watching now. Thanks for keeping it going.
Glad you kept Last Man Standing, It is a good comedy.
I love tim allen he is so funny I will be watching it
I like and have followed “Last Man” for every one of their seasons before and after the Switch…. I think one think that might have hurt them in ratings is that they have put so many older rerun episodes right up next to the new episodes so some people couldnt figure out if it was a rerun also or an original I see why they did it, even the old episodes get a lot of return traffic but as a lead-in they dont carry much weight, I have a DVR so I could save and view every new episode along… Read more »
Very happy the show is coming back, it’s just a great show… Thank you FOX!
YES! YES! YES! My whole family LOVES Last Man Standing! It is the ONE show ALL six of us agree to watch together! We would LOVE to see this show stick around as long as possible! We made it a tradition to watch the reruns most nights with dinner so we can all have a great laugh!!
I love Last Man Standing. I’m thrilled it has been renewed. With so many of my favorite shows ending it’s my last sitcom standing.
Congratulations! So happy it is coming back, look forward to next season.
