Plot

In 2020, Phil Miller (Will Forte) is seemingly the only human left on Earth after a deadly virus swept the planet one year earlier.^[6] An average man "who likes Star Wars, Twinkies, and sex",^[7] Phil searches North America in his RV for other survivors. During his explorations, he spray paints highway signs and billboards with the message, "Alive in Tucson". After a long journey, Phil returns to his hometown of Tucson, Arizona believing that he is Earth's last surviving human. Just before he attempts suicide out of loneliness and a desire for a female companion, his prayers are answered, and he meets Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal), a woman his age who is very irritating.^[8]

While Carol believes in principle in the importance of repopulating the Earth, she refuses to do her part until she and Phil are married. Phil acquiesces and they arrange a do-it-yourself ceremony. The next day, Melissa, a very attractive woman, arrives and Phil can hardly restrain himself. Phil, Carol, and Melissa then meet Todd, another survivor, but Phil grows jealous after Todd and Melissa develop a romantic relationship.^[8] Soon after, Phil runs into two women named Gail and Erica but does not tell them about the others. However, his secret is exposed when the other survivors find him sneaking around with Gail and Erica. Phil is then kicked out of his home by Carol, but, after telling the truth, Carol allows him to rejoin the group and agrees to a divorce.

Happy to be a bachelor again, Phil arranges individual dates with Gail and Erica, but his plans are interrupted when he finds himself stranded atop a billboard that he hopes to repaint so other possible survivors will not come to Tucson. He is then brought back to the community by another man who is also named Phil Miller, whose masculinity, savvy, and implicit dominance upsets the other two men. The original Phil then must go by his middle name, Tandy, after losing a competition to the new Phil, who upon discovering Tandy's plot to kill him becomes enraged and leaves him in the desert to die. However, Carol finds Tandy, and they decide to move somewhere other than Tucson. Tandy reveals to Carol that he grew up with a brother, and the final scene in the season 1 finale shows Tandy's brother, who is stranded in the International Space Station and does not know that there are still some remaining humans on Earth.

At the start of season 2, Tandy and Carol are happily remarried. Carol misses the other survivors in Tucson, so they revisit the town but discover that everyone else had moved to Malibu. They drive to Malibu and reunite with the rest of the group. Over the season, Tandy tries to improve his reputation with the other survivors with difficulty. He mends his friendship with Todd when he discovers and then shares Todd's secret bacon stash and with most of the other survivors when Phil punches him and later confesses his love for Carol, causing Phil to replace Tandy as the new scapegoat. In the process, Erica discovers that she is pregnant with Phil's baby. Tandy then tries to reestablish trust between the two, but, in the second season's mid-season finale, Phil dies during a botched appendectomy.

It is established in the season two episode "Dead Man Walking" that the season begins in 2023.^[9]

Meanwhile, in space, Tandy's estranged brother Mike continues his long search for human life and loses his companion worms one by one. After all his worms perish, he attempts suicide by launching himself into space through the station's airlock, but he sees a newborn worm at the last moment and tries to abort the opening of the airlock. His attempt fails, and he is launched into space. He succeeds in reentering the space station via his spacesuit's tether. Mike returns to Earth with his new worm in the station's descent module, punching a large hole in an abandoned cruise liner that then sinks. Mike emerges peddling an aquatic tricycle. After three days, he finds a yacht sailed by Pat Brown, a grizzled, paranoid seaman who abandons him in Miami. Mike sees one of his brother's "Alive in Tucson" signs and begins driving that way.

Back in Malibu, the other survivors, after holding a memorial service for the second Phil Miller, become involved in complicated love triangles. Todd is torn between Melissa, who previously broke up with him when she decided not to have children, and Gail, who started dating him out of sympathy. Things become even more complicated for him when Erica tells him that the late Phil chose Todd as a surrogate father for her baby. Also, Tandy has trouble proving his loyalty to Carol by continuing his efforts to impregnate her since he has a low sperm count. Mike soon arrives on the beach in Malibu but, as he tries to hug Tandy, Tandy punches him in the groin, and the two brothers start a fist fight. Over the next few days, the Miller brothers' past sibling rivalry turns into a full-scale prank war. After they make peace, Tandy chooses Mike as a sperm donor for Carol but regrets this decision, fearing he may never be able to tell Carol that he loves her. Before Mike can bed Carol, Tandy tells his true feelings, and the next morning, Carol finds out she is pregnant with Tandy's baby.

Cast

Main

• Will Forte as Philip Tandy^[10] "Phil" Miller, who is living on Earth after a virus wiped out nearly the entire population in 2019, believing he is the last person left. He lives in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona, having already searched North America for signs of other living people. Out of loneliness, he talks to various sports balls on which he has drawn faces and adopted as "buddies." He paints "Alive in Tucson" on billboards during his trip in the hope that others might see the message. Forte describes him as "a selfish person who sometimes borders on being a flat-out sociopath".^[11] Jacob Tremblay portrays young Phil,^[12] who appears to his brother Mike in multiple visions in the episode "Pitch Black".^[13]
• Kristen Schaal as Carol Andrew Pilbasian, an eccentric woman from Delaware who sees Phil's "Alive in Tucson" sign and travels to Tucson. She pressures Phil to marry her so they can work towards repopulating the Earth with "legitimate" children. Carol is shown to be compassionate and is good friends with Melissa and Todd but can hold grudges.^[14] In the second season, Carol becomes pregnant with Phil's first child after he finally tells her he loves her.
• January Jones as Melissa Chartres,^[15] a former real estate agent who meets Phil and Carol after they crash their pickup truck into her limousine. Like Carol, she has seen the original Phil's "Alive in Tucson" sign and travels to Tucson. Phil is initially very attracted to her and frequently vies for her affection, despite the fact that he has just married Carol and Melissa does not like or trust him. She begins a romantic relationship with Todd after he joins the group.^[16] In the second season, Melissa breaks up with Todd after deciding she does not want to have children, but when she changes her mind, she and Gail eventually agree to simultaneously date Todd.
• Mel Rodriguez as Todd. While on his way to Mexico, Todd spots some fireworks set off by Phil and is able to find him and the rest of the group. Kind and selfless, Todd's nature leads to him becoming the most likable member of the group, much to Phil's increasing annoyance. He and Melissa become very close and begin a romantic relationship shortly after they meet.^[16] In season 2, Todd finds himself torn among Melissa, who broke up with him after deciding not to have children; Gail, who started dating him out of sympathy; Erica, who tells him that the late Phil II chose Todd as a surrogate father for her baby; and even Carol, who approaches him with a surprise request to impregnate her.
• Cleopatra Coleman as Erica, an Australian woman and self-described "political nerd". After the outbreak of the virus, she met Gail at the White House, and the two became traveling companions. They later discover Phil after spotting a fire he started. After Phil and Carol divorce, Erica and Gail move in with the rest of the survivors. Erica later becomes pregnant with Phil II's child, but becomes upset with him when he openly flirts with Carol and decides that she does not want him involved with their child's life.
• Mary Steenburgen as Gail Klosterman (recurring season 1; starring season 2), a chef and former restaurant owner from North Carolina. After the outbreak of the virus, she met another woman named Erica, and the two became traveling companions. Gail mentions having had a husband but does not reveal what happened to him.^[17] In the second season, she develops a relationship with another survivor named Gordon, but after Gordon dies of a heart attack, she has trouble finding closure, even dressing a mannequin to look like Gordon, until she starts dating Todd.

Recurring

• Jason Sudeikis as Michael Shelby "Mike" Miller,^[18] the last man in space and a scientist who survives in Earth's orbit aboard the International Space Station. He is the younger brother of Phil Tandy Miller and, like Phil and his sports balls, talks to worms in containment jars out of loneliness.^[19] He also appears in a still photograph in the premiere episode with his brother and parents.^[20] In the season 2 mid-season finale, Mike begins his return to Earth with a newborn companion worm. After landing in the sea, he is abandoned on shore by paranoid seaman Pat Brown, but seeing an "Alive in Tucson" sign inspires Mike to go there. He reunites with his brother in "Fish in the Dish", but their sibling rivalry resurfaces upon reunion. Later, however, Tandy apologizes to Mike and reconciles.
• Boris Kodjoe as Philip Stacy "Phil" Miller, a former member of the Special Forces from High Point, North Carolina. He discovers the rest of the survivors after finding the original Phil sunburned and unconscious on a billboard. Also a former contractor, his skills with construction — as well as his good looks — soon make him a favorite among the women in the group. He and the original Phil, who must go by "Tandy" after losing a competition to him, become rivals shortly after meeting.^[21] In the season 2 mid-season finale, he dies after a botched appendectomy performed by Gail, who is eager to tell the others that she is not a doctor. Tandy later learns that, despite Phil's earlier claim that he had no middle name, his middle name is Stacy.

Guests

• Alexandra Daddario as Victoria (season 1), an attractive woman that Phil (Tandy) hallucinates before he meets Carol.^[22]
• Will Ferrell as Gordon Vanderkruik^[9] (season 2), a survivor living in Malibu, who dies from a heart attack from the shock of Carol's sudden appearance. When Gordon first met the other survivors, he developed a relationship with Gail. His grave reveals that he was born in 1978 and died in 2023.^[9]
• Mark Boone Junior as Pat Brown (season 2), the first person Mike encounters after returning to Earth. A former tennis champion, he wanders the sea on a yacht, fearing that he will risk being exposed to the virus that caused the apocalypse in the first place if he goes to dry land or meets any other survivors.^[23]

Background and production

The show originated from the writing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who had the idea initially for a feature film. They approached longtime collaborator and former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte with the premise, who "took a spark to it and took it in his own direction", according to Miller.^[24] He was partially inspired by the series Life After People. "I love comedy where there's a lot of tension and even though it's very far-fetched, it seems very relatable", said Forte of the premise.^[25] Forte's treatment for the series, crafted over a weekend, was pitched around Hollywood to positive responses. They mainly pitched to cable and Internet services, as Forte believed a broadcast network would be stricter on content.^[24] In their pitch, much of the outline of the series' first season was formulated.^[26] Fox, the show's eventual distributor, was instead doing "something different" and specific to his vision, according to Miller.^[24]

Forte spoke on the show's creative freedom in a 2015 interview:

I think we always saw this as more of a cable show, to be honest. They claimed from the get-go that they didn't want to change the tone of the show, and I think I went in with an eyebrow raised, thinking, okay, well when's it going to come out that we have to change it around? And they were great. They stuck by their pledge and let us make this different type of show. We're so happy to have had this experience. It was just a great, great experience with Fox.^[26]

Filming the series was challenging. For example, maintaining silence and not picking up sounds of cars in the distance made it difficult.^[25] In addition to Forte's fascination with Life After People, similar films bandied about while writing the show included The Omega Man, I Am Legend, and 28 Days Later.^[26] Fox particularly appreciated the heart of the story, with its universal theme. According to Lord, "We always talked about that this is a person who is very flawed, and a person who maybe needed the entire world to end in order for him to become his best self. [...] That was our big thought, well here's a guy who maybe he wasn't the best guy in the regular world, but if you took the regular world away, could he eventually get back to being the person that all of us hope that we can be."^[26]

The name of the main character, Phil Miller, is based on the names of the two executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.^[7] According to Miller, "there are no zombies" in the series.^[27]

For the second season, Dan Sterling joined as executive producer and took over the role of showrunner from Forte, who was the showrunner for the first season.^[28]

The main recording location for the series is a 20th Century Fox studio in Chatsworth, California.^[29][30][31]

Ratings

For its one-hour premiere, The Last Man on Earth received 5.75 million viewers with an average 2.4 rating among adults 18–49, making it the highest-rated broadcast series of the evening in that demographic.^[34] While ratings declined overall, the show did well enough with young men to justify renewal.^[35]

Critical reception

My recommendation comes with a caveat: there is no roadmap for this kind of show, and it could easily fall apart quickly. But I will say this for The Last Man on Earth: it does not seem like the sort of thing that would be a primetime network sitcom. And that's precisely why it should be one.

James Poniewozik of Time^[39]

The Last Man on Earth has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the show has a score of 72, based on 30 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".^[40] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called the show "a genre-busting breakout that's creative, nuanced and inspired".^[41] Robert Bianco of USA Today praised Forte's "audacity, inventiveness and achievement".^[42] Hank Stuever of The Washington Post called it "a charming and intelligent sendup of pop culture's obsession with the end of everything".^[43] Slate's Willa Paskin called the program "well-made, polished, odd, surprisingly funny".^[44] "For a show that shouldn't really work at all, Last Man works pretty well", remarked Margaret Lyons of Vulture.^[45]

Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen called it "profoundly funny", and sustainable if it continues the "ingenuity, surprises, and craftsmanship".^[7] "I was impressed by The Last Man on Earth, and hope it can continue to spin stories and character development out of its somewhat narrow premise", wrote Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe.^[46]

However, several critics, such as Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post^[14] and David Hinckley of the New York Daily News, have questioned the show's future.^[47] Mike Hale of The New York Times deemed the show "well made, meticulous in its comic details and pleasantly acted", though noting that part of the show's appeal "dissipates" past the pilot episode.^[48] Brian Lowry of Variety opined that "the premise calls for a level of creativity from the producers that these episodes don't consistently deliver. That's not to say 'I wouldn't watch him if he were the last man on Earth.' But like the fate of humanity within the series, while the future certainly isn't hopeless, neither does it look particularly bright."^[49]
