The Last Police – the Fox pilot based on Ben H Winters’ The Last Policeman trilogy – is not proceeding beyond the pilot stage.

Kyle Killen’s adaptation followed a small-town police detective, who, as an asteroid races toward an apocalyptic collision with Earth, believes she’s been chosen to save humanity, while her cynical partner can’t decide what he’ll enjoy more: her delusional failure, or the end of the world itself. Blu Hunt was Detective MacKenzie Ward, a sharp young police detective who believes she was chosen for a special purpose after her suicide attempt fails, while Wilson as Detective David Duran, a drinking, smoking, unshaven wreck with a badge who, following a devastating personal tragedy unrelated to the asteroid, views the rest of his days alive as a penance and openly embraces the prospect of the world’s end.

Deadline did not indicate if the pilot might be shopped elsewhere.
