'Last Man Standing' & 'The Resident' Gets Renewed

Fox is gearing up for a new slate of shows that are now being renewed for 2021.

The network, which is holding back live-action scripted fare that wasn't previously produced for 2021, has renewed comedy Last Man Standing and drama The Resident for additional seasons.

The deal with Disney-owned 20th Century Fox Television will see the Tim Allen multicamera comedy return for its ninth season, while the studio's medical drama The Resident will be back for its fourth cycle.

With the renewals, that leaves only rookie drama Prodigal Son and multicam Outmatched awaiting word on their futures. The serial killer drama is a co-production between Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment with a potential second season hanging on star Michael Sheen's schedule, while the family comedy series is not expected back.

"The Resident and Last Man Standing are such important parts of Fox, and we’re so pleased they will be returning next season,” said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. “We want to thank all of the writers, actors, directors, producers and talented crews for both of these shows, and, of course, our friends and producing partners at 20th Century Fox Television."
