While he searches for others and paints signs stating he is alive in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona, he finds no one. However, before attempting suicide, he discovers another survivor, Carol Pilbasian ( Kristen Schaal ). Despite being annoyed by each other, Carol and Phil marry for re-population purposes. Over the next several months, more survivors join them. Though Phil 's irritating attitude towards them leads to his banishment from Tucson, Carol leaves with him. In Season 2, Phil and Carol continue their road trip in the middle of 2023. They soon discover the group has relocated to Malibu, California and travel there to reunite with the group and rebuild trust. Meanwhile, Phil 's astronaut brother Mike Miller ( Jason Sudeikis ) crashes down to Earth and finds his way to Malibu, where he joins the survivors briefly before possibly being infected by the virus. In Season 3, following a potential threat by Pat Brown ( Mark Boone Junior ), the survivors move to a self - sustaining office building in San Jose, California, where Melissa ( January Jones ) struggles with mental instability and Carol discovers a young boy living in the woods whom they name Jasper. As time passes, Erica ( Cleopatra Coleman ) gives birth to a girl named Dawn, and the group decides to leave the United States when they believe a nuclear power plant is melting down. Cast Main Will Forte as Philip Tandy Miller ( initially known as `` Phil '' and later `` Tandy '' ), an average, socially challenged man and seemingly the only human survivor after a virus wiped out nearly the entire population about a year earlier. He lives in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona, having already searched North America for other living people. In his pre-virus life, he worked dead - end jobs and lived in a studio apartment for which his parents paid the rent. Out of loneliness, he has adopted various sports balls as `` buddies '' and drawn faces on them. He has painted `` Alive in Tucson '' on billboards and highway signs during his trip, hoping others might see the message. Forte describes him as `` a selfish person who sometimes borders on being a flat - out sociopath ''. Jacob Tremblay portrays young Phil, who appears to his brother Mike in multiple visions in the episode `` Pitch Black ''. Kristen Schaal as Carol Andrew Pilbasian Miller, a notary from Delaware who sees Phil 's `` Alive in Tucson '' sign and travels to Tucson. She pressures Phil to marry her so they can work towards repopulating the Earth with `` legitimate '' children. Carol is shown to be compassionate and is good friends with Melissa and Todd but can hold grudges and be stridently moralistic. Carol and Phil divorce in the middle of the first season, but Carol chooses to leave with Phil after he is banished from Tucson and they subsequently remarry. In the second season, Carol and Tandy are allowed to rejoin the group of survivors. She becomes pregnant with Phil 's child after he finally tells her he loves her. January Jones as Melissa Chartres, a former real estate agent from Akron, Ohio who used to be married to the late Greg until he cheated on her with a police officer. She meets Phil and Carol after they crash their pickup truck into her limousine. She saw Phil 's original `` Alive in Tucson '' sign and traveled to Tucson before Carol. Phil is initially very attracted to her and frequently vies for her affection despite having just married Carol, so Melissa does not like or trust him. She begins dating Todd after he joins the group. In the second season, Melissa decides she does not want to have children and breaks up with Todd, but when she changes her mind, she and Gail eventually agree to simultaneously date Todd. In Season 3, Melissa kills Darrell, one of paranoiac Pat Brown 's crew, and consequently starts acting strangely, ultimately forcing Todd to lock her in a focus - group room to stop her from jumping off a building. The survivors help cure her condition using Clozapine, and Melissa marries Todd near the end of the season. Mel Rodriguez as Todd Rodriguez, another surviving man who, while on his way to Mexico, finds Phil and company after he sees some fireworks set off by Phil. Kind and selfless, Todd 's nature leads to him becoming the most likable member of the group, much to Phil 's increasing annoyance. He and Melissa become very close and begin a romantic relationship shortly after they meet. In Season 2, Todd 's love life becomes increasingly complicated : he finds himself torn among Melissa, who breaks up with him for a while ; Gail, who starts dating him simultaneously with Melissa ; Erica, who tells him that the late Phil II chose him as a surrogate father for her baby ; and even Carol, who approaches him with a surprise request to impregnate her when she thinks Phil ( Tandy ) is sterile. In Season 3, when Gail breaks up with him, Todd hopes to win back Melissa until he is frightened by her strange behavior resulting from killing Darrell. He is eventually able to cure her condition using Clozapine and they get married. Cleopatra Coleman as Erica, an Australian woman and self - described `` political nerd ''. After the outbreak of the virus, she met Gail at the White House and the two became traveling companions. They discover Phil upon spotting a fire he started, then move in with the rest of the survivors. In the second season, Erica becomes pregnant with Phil II 's child but decides to not involve him in their child 's life when he openly flirts with Carol. In `` Smart and Stupid '', she tells Mike, whom she is dating, that she was imprisoned for armed bank robbery before traveling to the United States and getting a job at the State Department under an assumed name. Toward the end of season 3, she gives birth to her daughter, whom she names Dawn. Mary Steenburgen as Gail Klosterman ( recurring season 1 ; starring season 2 -- present ), a chef and former restaurant owner from Wilmington, North Carolina. After the outbreak of the virus, she met another woman named Erica, and the two became traveling companions. Gail mentions having had a husband but does not reveal what happened to him. In the second season, she develops a relationship with another survivor named Gordon, but after Gordon dies of a heart attack, she has trouble finding closure and even dresses up a mannequin to look like Gordon, until she starts dating Todd. In the third season, she tells Carol, who wants Gail to adopt her so her child can have a grandmother, that she also had a child who died before the outbreak of the virus. To avoid being annoyed by Carol about their newly formed family, Gail finds solace in an elevator, but the elevator loses its power and traps her inside until Phil restores the power in `` The Spirit of St. Lewis ''. She begins a romantic relationship with Erica during the six months after the episode `` Name 20 Picnics... Now ! '' Recurring Jason Sudeikis as Michael Shelby `` Mike '' Miller ( guest season 1, recurring season 2 ), the more successful younger brother of Phil ( Tandy ) and a scientist who survives in Earth 's orbit aboard the International Space Station. Like Phil and his sports balls, he talks to pet worms out of loneliness. He also appears in a still photograph in the premiere episode with his brother and parents. In the season 2 mid-season finale, Mike begins his return to Earth with a newborn companion worm. After he lands in the sea, paranoid seaman Pat Brown abandons him on shore, but he finds his way to Malibu using an `` Alive in Tucson '' sign, his inference that Phil would have moved into the cul - de-sac following the apocalypse, and a letter from Melissa. Though his sibling rivalry with Phil resurfaces, the brothers eventually reconcile and explain to each other how their parents were proud of them both. In `` Smart and Stupid '', Mike starts coughing up blood, a sign of the virus, and departs to avoid having the group grieve his death. When Phil finds Mike at their childhood home in Tucson, they spend a day growing closer than ever before Mike begs Phil in his `` dying wish '' to leave. Phil returns in season 3 to see if Mike survived but chooses not to enter Mike 's bedroom, leaving without confirming his brother 's status. Boris Kodjoe as Philip Stacy `` Phil '' Miller ( seasons 1 -- 2 ), a former member of the Special Forces from High Point, North Carolina. He discovers the rest of the survivors after finding the original Phil sunburned and unconscious on a billboard. Also a former contractor, his skills with construction -- as well as his good looks -- soon make him a favorite among the women in the group. He and the original Phil, who must go by `` Tandy '' after losing a competition to him, become rivals shortly after meeting. In the second season, he openly flirts with Carol, then tries to make amends with Erica when he learns she is pregnant with his child. Just as he mends his relationship with her, he suffers from appendicitis and requests that Erica not let Tandy help raise their child if he does not survive. He finally dies during a botched appendectomy performed by Gail and Todd, neither of whom has medical experience. After the group says goodbye to Phil, Tandy learns that, despite Phil 's earlier claim that he had no middle name, his middle name was Stacy. Mark Boone Junior as Patrick `` Pat '' Brown ( seasons 2 -- 4 ), the first person Mike encounters after returning to Earth. A former tennis champion and ice cream truck driver, he wanders the sea on a yacht, fearing that the virus has still contaminated the land and that anyone he meets could be carrying it. He also believes the U.S. government has gone into hiding in bunkers and plotted a conspiracy to trap survivors. He abandons Mike in Miami when he thinks he has accidentally killed him by exposing him to the virus. Between the events of `` Pitch Black '' and `` 30 Years of Science Down the Tubes '', Pat meets two other survivors named Darrell and Lewis while sailing around North America via the Northwest Passage. Armed with rifles, the three men approach the Malibu mansion at the start of the third season. Although Pat and Lewis convince the group of their peaceful intent, Pat suddenly turns on them when he realizes Phil and Mike are related, but he is hit with the A-Team van as everyone else escapes from him in it. He is presumed dead until his body and boat vanish. When he sees the group driving towards a marina at the end of season 3, Pat tries to kill them before Pamela shoots him in the head. Kenneth Choi as Lewis ( season 3 ), a gay arborist from Seattle whose partner Mark is presumed to have been killed by the virus. He first comes to Malibu as part of Pat 's crew but defects and joins the main group when Pat refuses to make peace with Phil ( Tandy ). He greatly fears Pat, especially since Pat told him he previously killed someone ( Mike ). After moving into a self - sustaining office building in San Jose with the rest of the group, he considers the possibility that Mark might still be alive in Tokyo and begins teaching himself aviation so he can fly there and investigate. In the middle of Season 3, Lewis is killed 10 seconds after takeoff when he attempts his first flight in a real plane. Kristen Wiig as Pamela Brinton ( season 3 -- present ), a wealthy socialite and philanthropist who hid from the virus in an underground bunker with her dog Jeremy. During her time in the bunker, she learned to pilot its surveillance drone, which Gail first saw near the end of the second season. She leaves upon discovering the others even though the connection is lost. Pamela introduces herself to the group after shooting Pat in the head to save them. She then abducts Phil for herself upon hearing the other ladies ' plans to abandon her. Keith L. Williams as Jasper ( season 3 -- present ), an initially silent young boy who is discovered in the background of Carol and Gail 's family photos, wearing a Yoda costume. Phil names him `` Jasper '' after his JanSport backpack, and the child chooses Erica as his parental figure despite Phil 's attempts to bond with him. Six months after his first exposure to every major holiday packed into one party by the adults, he starts speaking. Guests Alexandra Daddario as Victoria ( season 1 ), an attractive woman that Phil ( Tandy ) hallucinates before he meets Carol. Will Ferrell as Gordon Vanderkruik ( season 2 ), a survivor living in Malibu, who dies from a heart attack from the shock of Carol 's sudden appearance. When Gordon first met the other survivors some time between the events of the first and second seasons, he developed a relationship with Gail. His grave indicates that he was born in 1978 and died in 2023. Jon Hamm as Darrell ( season 3 ), a man who sails to Malibu with Pat and Lewis but is shot and killed by Melissa in the ensuing confusion on their intentions. Laura Dern as Catherine ( season 3 ), Pamela 's socialite friend, who purchases a bunker to hide from the virus, but ultimately succumbs to it before she can enter. Timothy V. Murphy as Benjamin Brinton ( season 3 ), Pamela 's husband, who dies from the virus. Jack Black as Rear Admiral Roy Billups ( season 4 ), a United States Navy officer and Pamela 's lover whom Pat shoots before she finally kills Pat outright. Chris Elliott as Glenn ( season 4 ), a castaway whom the group meets on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. He missed the apocalypse and thus knows nothing about the virus until Carol informs him about it, then joins the group in their return to the mainland. Background and production The show originated from the writing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who had the idea initially for a feature film. They approached longtime collaborator and former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte with the premise, who `` took a spark to it and took it in his own direction '', according to Miller. He was partially inspired by the series Life After People. `` I love comedy where there 's a lot of tension and even though it 's very far - fetched, it seems very relatable '', said Forte of the premise. Forte 's treatment for the series, crafted over a weekend, was pitched around Hollywood to positive responses. They mainly pitched to cable and Internet services, as Forte believed a broadcast network would be stricter on content. In their pitch, much of the outline of the series ' first season was formulated. Fox, the show 's eventual distributor, was instead doing `` something different '' and specific to his vision, according to Miller. Forte spoke on the show 's creative freedom in a 2015 interview : I think we always saw this as more of a cable show, to be honest. They claimed from the get - go that they did n't want to change the tone of the show, and I think I went in with an eyebrow raised, thinking, okay, well when 's it going to come out that we have to change it around ? And they were great. They stuck by their pledge and let us make this different type of show. We 're so happy to have had this experience. It was just a great, great experience with Fox. Filming the series was challenging. For example, maintaining silence and not picking up sounds of cars in the distance made it difficult. In addition to Forte 's fascination with Life After People, similar films bandied about while writing the show included The Omega Man, I Am Legend, and 28 Days Later. Fox particularly appreciated the heart of the story, with its universal theme. According to Lord, `` We always talked about that this is a person who is very flawed, and a person who maybe needed the entire world to end in order for him to become his best self. (... ) That was our big thought, well here 's a guy who maybe he was n't the best guy in the regular world, but if you took the regular world away, could he eventually get back to being the person that all of us hope that we can be. '' The name of the main character, Phil Miller, is based on the names of the two executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. According to Miller, `` there are no zombies '' in the series. For the second season, Dan Sterling joined as executive producer and took over the role of showrunner from Forte, who was the showrunner for the first season. The main recording location for the series is a 20th Century Fox studio in Chatsworth, California.

While ratings declined overall, the show did well enough with young men to justify renewal.

But I will say this for The Last Man on Earth : it does not seem like the sort of thing that would be a primetime network sitcom. And that 's precisely why it should be one. `` '' James Poniewozik of Time The Last Man on Earth has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the first season has a score of 72, based on 30 reviews, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an 85 % approval rating with an average score of 7.74 out of 10 based on 46 reviews. The site 's critical consensus is, `` It may run out of steam before the season 's over, but The Last Man on Earth 's ambitious concept and comedic undertone are enough to lure viewers in. '' Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called the show `` a genre - busting breakout that 's creative, nuanced and inspired ''. Robert Bianco of USA Today praised Forte 's `` audacity, inventiveness and achievement ''. Hank Stuever of The Washington Post called it `` a charming and intelligent sendup of pop culture 's obsession with the end of everything ''. Slate 's Willa Paskin called the program `` well - made, polished, odd, surprisingly funny ''. `` For a show that should n't really work at all, Last Man works pretty well '', remarked Margaret Lyons of Vulture. Entertainment Weekly 's Jeff Jensen called it `` profoundly funny '', and sustainable if it continues the `` ingenuity, surprises, and craftsmanship ''. `` I was impressed by The Last Man on Earth, and hope it can continue to spin stories and character development out of its somewhat narrow premise '', wrote Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe. However, several critics, such as Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post and David Hinckley of the New York Daily News, have questioned the show 's future. Mike Hale of The New York Times deemed the show `` well made, meticulous in its comic details and pleasantly acted '', though noting that part of the show 's appeal `` dissipates '' past the pilot episode. Brian Lowry of Variety opined that `` the premise calls for a level of creativity from the producers that these episodes do n't consistently deliver. That 's not to say ' I would n't watch him if he were the last man on Earth. ' But like the fate of humanity within the series, while the future certainly is n't hopeless, neither does it look particularly bright. '' Subsequent seasons have also received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an 83 % approval rating with an average score of 7.76 out of 10 based on 12 reviews. The site 's critical consensus is, `` Season two of The Last Man on Earth brings a change of venue and renewed focus on the chemistry between Forte and Schaal, and may win back some viewers who were turned off in season one. '' The third season has an 83 % approval rating with an average score of 7.3 out of 10 based on 6 reviews.
