Fox drops season 2 promos for The Last Man on Earth

One of the last men on Earth would be a better title for Fox’s off-the-wall comedy about the survivors of a pandemic that wiped out most of the human race. Phil Miller (Will Forte) — as anyone who watched season one knows — is NOT The Last Man on Earth, nor is Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal) the last woman. That said, the planet is sparsely populated enough that they can pretty much do whatever they damn well please.

That’s the focus of the new season two promos that hit the Interwebs over the weekend. The two spots show Earth’s last couple acting like the first couple and taking up residence in the White House. While their subsequent tomfoolery isn’t exactly befitting of heads of state, there’s really no one left to call them on it.

The first spot — dubbed simply “Season 2 Promo” — opens up in the White House briefing room, with Phil Miller taking questions from his inanimate spherical pals. Today’s pressing issue: flatulence. Soon after, we see the new FLOTUS dressed the the nines, mimicking the style of a certain fashion-forward former first lady: “Jackie oh no you didn’t!” cries Kristen Schaal.

The second spot (White House) is the shorter of the two and plays a snippet of Just the Two of Us in the background as Phil roller skates around the presidential property, smashing priceless statues and generally misbehaving. Later, we cut to a shot of the de facto leaders of the free world in the oval office … bathing in a kiddie pool full of margaritas.

The last time we saw the Millers, they were leaving Tuscon for greener pastures and it certainly seems like they’ve found them.

These spots don’t reveal much about the plot of season two, so we’ll have to wait and see how (or if) the other survivors factor in. Either way, fans will be glad to see that more of the same kooky, post-apocalyptic hyjinx is on the way.

The show returns Sunday, Sept. 27, for its sophomore season, and looks ready to deliver plenty more laughs. Stay tuned.

Stephen Amell and Heels cast on season 2, pro wrestling, and good storytelling
Alexander Ludwig stands and faces Stephen Amell in Heels.

Professional wrestling exhibits some of the most sophisticated storytelling in all of television. As a fan, it's insulting to use the words "fake" when cynics describe pro wrestling. It's the furthest thing from fake. Pro wrestling is scripted, just like any movie or television show. Pro wrestlers create characters to present to a live audience inside the ring. They work with writers to script promos to read in front of a crowd. Unlike most actors, pro wrestlers are exceptional athletes who do their own stunts inside the ring, implementing fight choreography to mimic a real brawl. It's an art form that should be treated with respect and great care.

Heels, a drama television series about professional wrestling, is a love letter to pro wrestling that shines a light on the intricacies inside and outside the ring. Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig star as Jack Spade and Ace Spade, rspectively, two wrestlers vying for glory and attention via their late father's Georgia wrestling promotion, Duffy Wrestling League (DWL). It's been two years since the season 1 finale, but the critically acclaimed drama is returning for an eight-episode second season on STARZ.

David S. Goyer and the Foundation cast on season 2 of the Apple TV+ sci-fi show
Lee Pace stares into the distance while another man looks at him in Foundation.

David S. Goyer told his writers before starting work on season 2 of Foundation that "the training wheels are off." Foundation, the sci-fi drama co-created by Goyer and Josh Friedman that's based on Isaac Asimov's book series, returns to Apple TV+ for its second season on July 14. With so much exposition and worldbuilding in season 1, Goyer, the showrunner on Foundation, and his team were happy to "dive right in and start the story" to begin season 2.

It has been two years since the season 1 finale, but more than a century has passed in the series' timeline. The impending Second Crisis is on the horizon, with the galaxy's fate in the hands of "crucial individuals" that transcend time and space. Foundation stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Laura Birn as Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn.

And Just Like That… season 2, episode 3 release date, time, channel, and plot
Carrie listens to a broadcast in And Just Like That.

After six successful seasons and two terrible movies, the Sex and the City universe expanded with the addition of And Just Like That..., which serves as a sequel and series revival. Premiering in 2021, And Just Like That... reintroduced the world to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), three of the leading women in Sex and the City. The original series focused on the friendship, sex lives, and social issues of these then-thirtysomethings living in New York City.

And Just Like That... , however, picks up 11 years after Sex and the City 2, with Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte all in their 50s. Despite the fact that they're older, the same friendship, fashion, and relationship drama are still as present as ever. And Just Like That... became Max's most-watched series debut at the time of its December 2021 premiere. Originally conceived as a miniseries, the overwhelming popularity led to a season 2 renewal. What time does episode 3 stream? Find out below!
