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.”
