THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Officially Books Jason Sudeikis

Jason Sudeikis is officially guest-starring on THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, Fox announced.

The first season of the Fox comedy ended with the reveal that Sudeikis — who plays Will Forte’s brother — was still alive…in space.

“Will had an idea with what he wanted to do with that,” THE LAST MAN ON EARTH executive producer Chris Miller said at the time. “There’s a development with that in the second season that we’re hoping to do. We did set that up in the pilot: in the pilot, he hangs up a picture of his family in his new house, and you see Will and his real parents, and his brother. It’s something we planned to do all along from the very beginning. It was exciting to do, and that we were able to accomplish it!”

“Well, if I had my way, Jason Sudeikis would be a permanent member of the cast because he’s super funny and freaking awesome, and I love him as a person,” Forte gushed. “But that’s not a realistic scenario. I would never ask that of him, because he’s got so much exciting stuff going on in his life. That’s something we’ll figure out as buddies. I honestly don’t know [what’ll happen with that]. He’s been so cool already to do that part. But I definitely have a plan that we can implement.”

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Gets a New Showrunner

Former THE OFFICE executive producer Dan Sterling has joined Fox’s THE LAST MAN ON EARTH as showrunner, a rep for the show confirmed.

The comedy — which was created by star Will Forte, and executive produced by Chris Miller and Phil Lord — has a 13-episode second season order, which could be expanded in the coming weeks.

“The order is for 13 [episodes],” Miller said earlier this month. “We don’t want to do 22. A big reason of that is Will’s in the writers’ room, he’s in the editing room, and it would just be impossible. I think we’re planning on doing more than 13. We’re going to figure out where the story’s going, exactly, and we’ll probably have a few more than 13. Somewhere between 13 and 22…they want more, we want to do more, also, but we have to figure it out. Even if we do more, it might be two kind of half seasons type of things.”

But how will they fare? At WonderCon, creator/star Will Forte (Phil) and executive producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord were fairly coy…but pretty hilarious in their vagueness.

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Exclusive Bloopers From ‘Dunk the Skunk/Some Friggin’ Fat Guy’

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH world keeps expanding, and in last week’s episodes, viewers (and the Tuscon group) met Todd (Mel Rodriguez), another survivor who thought he was alone in the world. (Sorry, Phil, you’re no longer the last man on earth!)

In addition to the joys of watching the twisted relationships between Phil, Todd, Carol, and Melissa play out, the growing cast has allowed for some hilarious bloopers. Check out these exclusive videos of Will Forte (Phil), Kristen Schaal (Carol), January Jones (Melissa), and Rodriguez cracking each other up on set while filming “Dunk the Skunk/Some Friggin’ Fat Guy”!

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Will Forte, Chris Miller, and Phil Lord Preview Fox’s Unique New Comedy

It’s not uncommon for people associated with shows to claim they’re doing something that hasn’t been done on television before. Occasionally, they’re at least partially correct. But when talking about the new Fox comedy, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, it’s hard to think of any other series that has attempted something quite like this — there is nothing on television to hold it up against, the show is its own unique being.

The basic premise is simple: Phil Miller (Will Forte) is, as the title suggests, the last man in the world. He traveled all over looking for another living being, and has now settled in Arizona (with some ball buddies).

Beyond that? The series gets a bit more complicated, as layers of the show are pulled back that really can’t be discussed until it airs.

So in the meantime, I asked THE LAST MAN ON EARTH executive producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord what they want viewers to know about the series pre-air, and spoke with series star (and creator) Forte about acting solo…

Which 2014-2015 Television Trailers Are You Rewatching?

One of the best parts about the Upfronts is we traditionally get our first looks at the new shows that will be populating our television screens during the upcoming season.

Of course, the trailers aren’t always an indication of how the show will turn out — great shows have had terrible trailers, and terrible shows have looked significantly better thanks to a great trailer. But for now, there are a few trailers I’m obsessing over for the new television season.
