The notion of resurrecting Last Man Standing to pair with Roseanne was discussed, but network boss Channing Dungey said nothing was actively planned.
It was in May 2017 that the six-season Last Man Standing got the axe from ABC, owing to lack of ownership, Allen’s salary and a shift away from Friday comedy.
ABC denied as much, and has since found success with the Roseanne revival’s appeal to middle America.
The outspoken and conservative Allen took the cancellation personally, claiming to be “stunned and blindsided” by the decision, while rumors swirled his political beliefs and controversial comments played a factor.
