The death of Tex (John Pyper-Ferguson) from the season finale of "The Last Ship" Season 3 surprised a lot of fans, especially Tom Chandler (Eric Dane). As the private security saved the commander's life, it will result to an emotional trauma that will be seen in "The Last Ship" Season 4.
Where Will Chandler Be In 'The Last Ship' Season 4?
Fans expect "The Last Ship" Season 4 to pick up where the last season ended. As the death of Tex takes its toll on Tom, he quickly resigned from his post and the viewers want to see what will happen to him next. As the captain has been accused of destroying the military group in spite of all his efforts to save the world, Allison tried to assassinate him but the bullet was caught by Tex.
"We thought it'd be great to sort of leave Chandler in a place where you wonder, 'Where's he going to be next time you see him?'" the showrunner Steve Kane told TV Line, per Yibada. "And can he ever get back that feeling he had that allowed him to stay this rock for everybody for three seasons?" he added about the return of "The Last Ship" Season 4.
Will Eric Change After Tex's Death?
Meanwhile, as the death of Tex will play a vital role in the life of Chandler in "The Last Ship" Season 4, Steven Kane believed that no one from the show will feel the grief but him. In fact, iTech Post reported that this will ignite a change of attitude to Eric Dane's character in the show. The 43-year-old star opened up about the different journeys his role had been through from "The Last Ship" season one to three and in the fourth season, Chandler will be back to his consciousness.
Eric Dane even revealed that "The Last Ship" Season 4 will be like an "epic, mythical type odyssey" for the life of Chandler and other casts that will be too deep that fans need to dig. Viewers might see their favorite captain enjoying a comfortable non-working life as an ordinary person trying his best to recover from the tragic event. But, there will be a battle waiting to be seen in the return of "The Last Ship" Season 4 in June 2017 on TNT.
