'The Last Man on Earth' Shows Back-to-Back Episodes: 'The Do-Over' and 'Pranks for Nothin'
"The Last Man on Earth" follows the life of Phil Miller (Will Forte) as the last surviving man on Earth. In last Sunday's back-to-back episodes, Phil's world just got a little more interesting as two new survivors surfaces and joins their "Alive in Tucson" group.
"The Do-Over"
In "The Do-Over" episode, Phil becomes increasingly frustrated with his wife Carol (Kristen Schaal) and asks for a "do-over," just as two newcomers, Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) and Gail (Mary Steenburgen) comes up. Phil lies to Gail and Erica about his wife being dead and asks them out for dinner in the hopes of sleeping with them. Phil tells his wife Carol that he wants some time off alone and will go camping.
"Pranks for Nothin'"
The series continues with "Pranks for Nothin,'"with things getting complicated as the rest of the group finds out about Phil's story about his wife being dead just to get into Erica and Gail's pants. Carol lashed out at the newcomers for trying to steal his husband and eventually divorces Phil. Phil becomes an outcast and realizes he is a bad liar.
The Last Man on Earth has three episodes left for season one but will be back for another season.
Fox Broadcasting Company Entertainment President David Madden shares that, "We knew we had something special with "The Last Man on Earth." It's one of those rare shows that continues to add depth and dimension to its unique premise, week after week. We are so thrilled that this incredibly bold, original and inventive series has been embraced by both fans and critics, and we cannot wait to see where the creative genius and inspired vision of Will, Phil, and Chris take us in season two."
Created by Will Forte, "The Last Man on Earth" airs every Sunday, 9 p.m. on Fox.
