When Season 8 kicks off, Last Man Standing will focus on Mike and Vanessa Baxter as empty-nesters, since they’ll be without any kids in the house for the first time in ages.
The stories will touch upon the husband-and-wife relationship, particularly where it comes to communication, but Last Man Standing will also give the characters more to do with their free time.
Mike is set to go into a car restoration business with Joe, though things get upended when Jay Leno’s Joe enters the picture, but it’s Vanessa who will introduce the more political element.
