Season three won’t be the last for The Last Man on Earth. Recently, FOX announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a fourth season.
A comedy series, The Last Man on Earth follows Phil Miller (Will Forte), a man who believes he is the last human on Earth after a deadly virus has devastated the planet. The FOX cast also includes Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mel Rodriguez, Mary Steenburgen, and Cleopatra Coleman.
A renewal for The Last Man on Earth is a little bit surprising given the show’s low ratings. Overall, season three earned an average rating of .91 in the 18-49 demo and only 2.164 million viewers, making it one of FOX’s least-watched TV series for the 2016-2017 season.
Perhaps FOX has picked up The Last Man on Earth for another season so it can wrap up the story properly. Earlier, creator and star Will Forte did mention that the season three finale was not meant to be a series finale.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Last Man on Earth? Are you glad it’s been renewed? Will you watch season four?

Yay. It’s coming back
I love the series and I’m so excited about the fourth season return! Looking forward for the next episode.
YESSSS!!! IM SO GLAD ITS BEEN GIVEN THE GO AHEAD!!! FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW!!
I loved the series at the beginning but now I can’t stand Tandy anymore, does he ever stops talking?
A 4th season would be great! So happy to hear they decided to do it. I think they could swing Kirsten Wiig’s character into the lead role and possibly kill off tandy in a hilarious way….Wiig’s character could pick up the ratings.
I love the show. Tandy character could be revamped.
Love it! so unique and creative and FUNNY. I’m over 60 + and enjoy the show each week. Let’s keep it on!
I think it’s more than a comedy. It addresses how we would do if this were to happen.
My family and I are extremely excited. CONGRATULATIONS
I guess I am one of the small percentage that never misses an episode of “The Last Man on Earth”! I am glad it’s coming back for a finale season. I’m glad FOX didn’t leave us with a cliffhanger! Oh Farts!
Yay!!!!!!!!! Two of my bubble shows made it (this and The Originals). Wish Sleepy Hollow had gotten another year, but at least the last season ended with a satisfying conclusion instead of a cliffhanger.
Finally one show I watch has been picked up. My least fav but I do enjoy it. I really wish Rosewood was renewed but I really really really wish Sleepy Hollow was coming back…..that is a show to be missed..
I’m so glad. I’ll be watching.
You keep this stupid show, but cancel a great show like a Rosewood! Shame on you!
I am so glad it is coming back. It is clever and funny!
