First Look Clip Shows Last Man Standing Will Skip Over the Pandemic

The creators of Last Man Standing have decided to set their final season "post-virus," skipping over the COVID-19 crisis that has brought so much of the world to a standstill.

However, they will acknowledge it by showing the passage of time via Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) growing a giant pandemic beard.

Last Man Standing returns for its final season January 3 on Fox.
