LG15: The Last is a social show produced by Australian lonelygirl15 fans in 2009, and presented by EQAL on LG15.com. Due to the downturn in the economy, EQAL's show was put on hiatus, and instead, the producers decided to open a contest for the fans. LG15: The Last was the result of this contest, entitled "LG15: The Show Is Yours," which allowed fans to submit pilot episodes and trailers of spin-off shows based on the Lonelygirl15 mythology, where the selected pilot would become an official LG15 Franchise show.[1] [2] [3] Allowing a crowdsourced project to take over production responsibilities was seen as "unprecedented."[4] LG15: The Last did not win the contest at first (it was runner up), but when the original winner backed out,[5] they became the featured show.[6]
LG15: The Lasts pilot was released on 19 January 2009, with the official premiere on 9 March 2009. The show ran for ten weeks, followed by a twelve-video finale called "Quietus," which spanned one month, ending on 28 July 2009.[7] A few days later, signs began popping up that there was, in fact, more content to come,[8] until ultimately, it was confirmed in several chats both in- and out of character that there is one more episode to come, long enough to span at least two YouTube uploads. Due to other obligations slowing down the editing process, the airing date of this final episode is not yet known, but the story is continued on the character Twitter accounts, on the comment boards and in live chats in the meantime.[9]
LG15: The Last was the fifth show in EQAL's popular LG15 Franchise.[10]
Set in Sydney, Australia, the series revolved around the lives of the last four trait positive girls in Australia—Chasina Wilson, Leigh Taylor, Jayde Cooper, and Antonia Moore. In the show's pilot episode, Chasina receives an email from lonelygirl15 and s Jonas Wharton, which informs her of her trait positive status, and provides her with information about the three other girls. She must save herself and the other girls, with help from Mitch Evans and Bray Johnson, from a tech-savvy Elder, Sibylla and Xavier Weave, and a traitor living right in their own homes.[7]
