Sky1 has acquired the UK broadcast rights to ABC’s family sitcom Last Man Standing, starring Tim Allen. The series follows Mike Baxter, a conservative father of three daughters, trying to maintain his manly lifestyle in a household dominated by women.
Allen’s return to network television brings echoes of his earlier success with Home Improvement, while Last Man Standing offers a contemporary take on family life and generational differences.
The show’s blend of traditional sitcom humor and social commentary has helped it maintain strong ratings in the US. Sky1 plans to introduce the show to UK audiences looking for lighthearted, family-oriented programming.
The addition supports Sky1’s strategy of offering a mix of domestic productions and top-tier US imports.
