THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Officially Books Jason Sudeikis

Jason Sudeikis is officially guest-starring on THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, Fox announced.

The first season of the Fox comedy ended with the reveal that Sudeikis — who plays Will Forte’s brother — was still alive…in space.

“Will had an idea with what he wanted to do with that,” THE LAST MAN ON EARTH executive producer Chris Miller said at the time. “There’s a development with that in the second season that we’re hoping to do. We did set that up in the pilot: in the pilot, he hangs up a picture of his family in his new house, and you see Will and his real parents, and his brother. It’s something we planned to do all along from the very beginning. It was exciting to do, and that we were able to accomplish it!”

“Well, if I had my way, Jason Sudeikis would be a permanent member of the cast because he’s super funny and freaking awesome, and I love him as a person,” Forte gushed. “But that’s not a realistic scenario. I would never ask that of him, because he’s got so much exciting stuff going on in his life. That’s something we’ll figure out as buddies. I honestly don’t know [what’ll happen with that]. He’s been so cool already to do that part. But I definitely have a plan that we can implement.”
