We want somebody to come in and play Mandy. We want someone to come in and not play Molly Ephraim. But exciting for us to look around and see who we can get to play that character. "When the show was canceled… got involved in some different things, so when came back, she was not able to do it," executive producer Matt Berry said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, according to TV Line.
LAST MAN STANDING NETFLIX SERIES
However, when the series was revived on Fox, Ephraim herself decided not to come back. She saw the character through some of her most rebellious and turbulent years.

Here is a look at all of the series' major re-casts and why they happened. Last Man Standing has weathered seismic casting shake-ups, proving its fortitude time and time again. Through it all, the show has maintained a dedicated audience and a unified theme. This means that the Baxter family looks a little different in its new time slot, though so far fans don't seem to mind too much. The result was a scramble to reassemble the old cast, some of whom had been lucky enough to find other work in that gap year. However, a year later, Fox chose to revive the show in a previously unprecedented move that has now happened twice in one TV season. After ABC canceled the series in spring of 2017, the actors rightly believed that the run was over.
Of course, casting shifts were practically inevitable when the series jumped from one network to another. Several actors in key roles have left the show - either by choice or by happenstance, and audiences have had to adapt to a brand new face with a familiar old name. The central characters of Last Man Standing have been re-cast a number of times in its 7-season run so far.
