Will 'Last Man Standing' Return For Season 9? Season 8 Has An Unexpected Cliffhanger


Amid the ongoing pandemic, many TV productions suspended filming in mid March, and as a result, the Last Man Standing Season 8 finale isn't the one that was originally planned. Still, FOX did save the show after ABC canceled it in 2017 and ratings have not dipped much, so it's possible Last Man Standing will return for Season 9 — at the very least, to give the season its intended Season 8 ending. FOX has yet to announce anything, however, and the shifted production schedule may delay any possible renewal news. (In comparison, Season 8 was renewed before Season 7 even aired its finale.)

On March 15, the studio behind Last Man Standing, 20th Century Fox TV, announced it was suspending production of the show amid coronavirus concerns. According to Deadline, the Last Man Standing cast and crew only had two production days left, which included taping the actual season finale on March 17. Though they had planned on simply filming the finale without a live studio audience, the suspension meant that Last Man Standing Season 8 had to end with 21 rather than 22 episodes.

Still, that's not to say that Episode 21, titled, "How You Like Them Pancakes?," is not a fitting cliffhanger for the season. The episode features Kaitlyn Dever's Eve returning home for a weekend visit from the Air Force. Her sudden arrival causes plenty of drama, as people attempt to connect with her and hash some things out before she leaves. This ends up pitting Mike, Vanessa, Ryan, Kyle, and Eve's sisters against each other, as they all end up competing for Eve's attention — which Eve isn't exactly excited about.

"Part of the story is that Eve's been kind of a tomboy and closest to me," Allen explained to TV Guide. "She's almost like me, pushing people away — she runs away from emotion."

Another major plot line that was meant to be in the original finale was Amanda Fuller's Kristin giving birth, and it's not clear how that was incorporated into the new finale. "In the last episode we shot, Kristin's going into labor," Fuller explained to TV Guide. They'd intended for fans to actually see the baby, but the shortened season may mean fans won't get to see the conclusion of Kristin's pregnancy storyline until a potential Season 9 — which of course would give audiences a reason to tune in.

As for what else a possible Season 9 could explore, Fuller said she isn't ruling out a coronavirus storyline. "I can't imagine not addressing it," Fuller told TV Guide. "If we're lucky enough to get a Season 9, I can't imagine skipping it altogether."

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

Bild
As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
