Fox Revives Sitcom ‘Last Man Standing’ for 2018-19

After months of speculation, Fox has confirmed the pick-up of former ABC sitcom “Last Man Standing,” starring Tim Allen, for the upcoming TV season. Despite still respectable ratings, the alphabet network canceled it after six seasons last spring.

“Last Man Standing” stars Tim Allens as Mike Baxter, a married father of three girls, who tries to maintain his manliness in a world increasingly dominated by women.  Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, the series also stars Nancy Travis, Jonathan Adams, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders and Jordan Masterson.
 
“Team ‘LMS’ was in the sixth inning, ahead by four runs, stands were packed and then for no reason, they call off the game,” said Allen. “It leaves you sitting in the dugout, holding a bat and puzzled. Now we get the news from Fox that it’s time to get back out on that diamond – hell yes, I’m excited! When I heard the offer to create more episodes of ‘Last Man Standing,’ I did a fist pump so hard I threw my back out. It’s the fans! I could not be more grateful for the fans who wrote petitions and kept up the passion and incredible support for the show. And a fist pump, ouch, for Dana Walden and Gary Newman at Fox for not only listening to the fans, but for making the bold move to bring ‘Last Man Standing’ back.”

The network has not announced how many episodes it has ordered.
