10 Infuriating TV Cliffhangers You Didn't Realise Had Answers
2. The Underground Survivors Die - The Last Man On Earth
The post-apocalyptic comedy series The Last Man on Earth was cancelled at the conclusion of its fourth season, which ended on a tantalising cliffhanger as Tandy (Will Forte) and the other survivors set up camp, only to be surrounded by a group of gas mask-wearing survivors who've been living underground.
Star-creator Forte did at least offer fans a taste of what would happen in the unrealised fifth season, though.
In an interview with Vulture, Forte revealed that the underground survivors initially quarantine Tandy and co., before growing increasingly comfortable with them over the course of the season.
However, the ironic twist? Though Tandy and the other above-ground survivors are immune to the deadly virus, they're still carriers, and would consequently infect the underground survivors and inadvertently kill off the majority of them.
Forte planned to keep just one of the underground survivors around, who would've been played by a notable guest star and joined the main ensemble.
Yet though season five was intended to be the last, Forte hadn't yet mapped out how the show was actually going to wrap up.
