Only one remained… The question is Y.
At long last, and after years of start-stop development, a series adaptation of the “Y: The Last Man” comics is on the way, finally headed to the “FX on Hulu” portal next month.
As we recently learned, “Y” will premiere on Monday, September 13, exclusively on FX on Hulu. The season features ten episodes in total, and the first *two* premiere on 9/13.
FX debuted the 2-minute official trailer for the series today, which sets up the general premise. An apocalyptic event has wiped out all men on Earth… except for one. And his monkey.
It was a day like any other… until it wasn’t…
Based on the DC Comics series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, and published by Vertigo between 2002 and 2008, “Y: The Last Man” traverses a post-apocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event decimates every mammal with a Y chromosome but for one cisgender man and his pet monkey. The series follows the survivors in this new world as they struggle with their efforts to restore what was lost and the opportunity to build something better.
Eliza Clark (Animal Kingdom) serves as the showrunner of the series, which has a cast including Olivia Thirlby, Diane Lane, Ben Schnetzer, Amber Tamblyn and Ashley Romans.
FX notes, “All episodes of the season will be directed by women and the production has a significant number of female department heads, including both DPs, the production designer, costume designer, casting director, editors, stunt coordinator and more.”
