‘The Last Man on Earth’ Season 2 News & Recap: Show Gets New Showrunner; Find Out How Season 1 Ended
"The Last Man of Earth" will go on for another season, and there will be some changes.
Deadline reports that Dan Sterling will be the executive producer and showrunner in Season 2. Sterling, who has worked on "The Daily Show," "The Office" and "Girls," will be taking over from Will Forte, who also stars on the show.
The Fox show concluded its freshman run on Sunday with a hilarious, and shocking twist.
According to Entertainment Weekly, last Sunday's episode started off with Old Phil (Forte), now commonly referred to as "Tandy," still continuing his plot to kill New Phil (Boris Kodjoe), now simply known as "Phil," with Todd (Mel Rodriguez). The two are thinking of ways they can accomplish this task and Tandy suggests taking him out to the desert and leaving him there. This immediately strikes Todd with resentment, because Tandy also did that to him, which leads to the plan's eventual dissolution.
Tandy then confronts Carol (Kristen Schaal) with an empty condom wrapper, where she admits to having sex with Phil. Tandy is overly struck by this notion because he himself was required to marry her for sex, which she replies that her sex with Phil was for fun, or casual sex. That premise is, of course, what Tandy had wanted all along.
Phil overhears their conversation and Tandy finds him packing his gear and preparing to move out and get his own place. After a little deliberation at the bar with his ball buddies, Tandy decides he wants Carol back and goes to her claiming to have written a song for her, which gets interrupted by Phil knocking on the door.
They later find Phil has generated enough power from his solar panels to light a lamp, which excites everyone until, of course, Tandy knocks the lamp over and breaks it. This leads to the group's ire, and Phil orders Tandy to leave Tucson. But Tandy locks himself in a room for three days before they can get to him.
Carol eventually persuades him to come out to the fire with the group who eerily welcome him then Phil subdues him and takes him in his truck to the desert with two days worth of food and water, which Tandy consumes in about 20 minutes.
Carol comes out to replenish him and finds him lying there helpless. She asks him about the song he wrote for her and surprisingly, he did have a song for her, which seemed to steal her heart because she decides to stay with him.
As they drive off into the sunset in Carol's car, they talk about the families they once had. Tandy, now back to being Phil Miller again, mentions his brother, who we saw in a picture earlier in the season portrayed by Jason Sudeikis.
We then see in the last moments of the episode the camera zooming away from Tucson and into space where the International Space Station is revealed with an astronaut that has the name "Miller" on it, talking into a Comm device asking if anyone is out there, according to Vulture.
