Last Man Standing may get a second lease of life, following its cancellation at ABC. Executives at 20th Century Fox Television, the studio behind the Tim Allen-starring sitcom, confirmed to Variety today that they will seek a new home for the show.

Studio presidents Jonnie Davis and Howard Kurtzman confirmed that they were surprised by ABC's decision not to continue the show, describing the news as "an open sore". "We really were expecting a pickup," Kurtzman admitted. "The fact that we didn't get a pickup was a surprise and a disappointment. I think no one was more disappointed than Tim Allen – such a huge star with such a huge following."

The cancellation has sparked a backlash among the show's conservative fan base, with many accusing ABC of ending the show because of Allen's politics, and specifically his controversial appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this year.
