Storyline and Reason of NOT returning to Season 5Storyline and Reason of NOT returning to Season 5

The story of this tv series starts from the end of the world. In the start, the viewers are flashbacked with the past events and history about what happened during the apocalypse and about the virus and every lit bit of the things that went down and leading to the last man on earth.

In the story, Forte is traveling around a vacant United States area, searching for other survivors of the apocalypse. In a well-understood plan, Phil leaves huge signs all over the US reading before returning to his home area to wait for the arrival of others. But the others do not come at first, and Phil gets uncomfortable that what is going on. He moves into a mansion, arranges works of art from the local museums to hang them in his palace, and in the meantime, he indulges himself in pointless activities that a person does on their own when he has nothing better than to do.

As Phil fails to entertain himself, he becomes depressed and gets negatively affected by mental condition. He decides to commit suicide, but just when he is about to do so, he spots some smoke in the distance nearby, and he realizes that another survivor has seen one of his signs that he left and traveled to Tucson to find him. After rejoining, the pair decides to repopulate the Earth, though Carol insists that Phil should marry her so that they can have children.

Over the next three seasons, the cast tends to expand, and the title of the show starts to become inaccurate as the group starts to find more and more numbers of survivors and moves around the country for different plot-driven scenes. During the story, they marry and also get divorced, they have children, and they suffer losses and setbacks as plot twists. At the end of season 4, it became the series finale after the sudden cancellation of this series; the group discovers another group of surviving hostiles on a beach in Mexico.

Unfortunately, the original group of survivors was immune to the Virus, and thus, they had survived in the first place, but they were still carrying on with it, and the people from the new group would quickly become infected and die due to Virus. This was the planned 5th season arc, according to Forte. But Fox did not give a chance to Forte to realize the ending of this dark series. The show was canceled just after the cliffhanger ending of its season 4.

But, Netflix already has its own shows with huge fan bases and budgets with a whole bunch of movies in its production already.
