Fox is Airing Two Back-to-Back Episodes for the Season 8 Premiere
The season premiere will feature two back-to-back episodes, titled “No Parental Guidance” and “Wrench in the Works.” The description for the premiere reads, “Mike helps Vanessa deal with empty nest syndrome; Kristin announces her pregnancy to the family.”
As for the plot of Season 8, Last Man Standing showrunner Kevin Abbott told TheWrap that a running theme for the new season involves the Baxters trying to figure out what to do now that the girls have all moved out of the house.
“What you’ll find is that now that Mandy (Molly McCook) and Kyle (Christoph Sanders) have moved out, there are no more biological Baxter children living at the house,” Abbott told the publication. “And that new dynamic, now that they are empty nesters and that the kids have moved out, informs the motivations of all our characters. Vanessa has more free time, Mike has more free time. And they’ve got a little bit of void to fill. And what do you do? And how does it change your interactions with your kids when there’s no longer a critical mass of Baxters in one place. That’s where everybody would gather. Now, everybody is fractured a little.”
