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.”

Last man standing isn’t as good as it was, but still watch it. I look forward to the next season of the resident..
lOve the show,but cast changes take away from my interest
Love Last Man Standing. So glad it will be back. Also, like The Resident.
Yes love last man standing!! Will definitely watch this season.
Because of when the season started, I had to DVR the shows. But I watch them over and over again. It is the ONLY show on TV that has values, but yet not a ’50’s cover up. I LOVE the show and once the series ends, will probably purchase it on DVD. Keep it going. I think Jen makes a wonderful addition!
One of the last true “Family Shows” left on TV. It is well written and actually shows a family dynamic centered in faith, unity, and humor. I love this show and I hope it stays around a long time!
We love last man Standing. Never miss an episode.
I love Last Man Standing and record all the episodes and watch them often.
Our family loves this show! We even watch reruns too, on hulu.
I think if they would STOP polling the 18-49 year olds and start polling the older crowd, they would find more people watching. Do they count those who don’t have cable and watch on their Roku, etc? This is a great show and I’m so glad to see they had the smarts to keep it going another season! Thank you Fox.
