FX Officially Orders Y: The Last Man, First Image Released

After years of being in development hell, it looks like the television adaptation of Y: The Last Man is finally coming out. Based on a Vertigo comic series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, the series was originally going to be a movie before that fell through, which resulted in the license being shopped around before FX took the bait. It seems like the studio was impressed since the series will premiere sometime in 2020.

Co-created, written and executive produced by Michael Green (American Gods, Blade Runner 2049) and Aïda Mashaka Croal (Luke Cage, Turn), who also will serve co-showrunners, in Y, all of the men are dead. But one. Based on DC Comics' acclaimed series Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, traverses a post-apocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event has decimated every male save for one lone human. The new world order of women will explore gender, race, class, and survival.

"Y: The Last Man is a towering achievement among graphic novel storytelling and it's been rewarding to work with this outstanding team. Michael Green and Aïda Mashaka Croal have partnered with Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson to deliver a stunning new expression of this fascinating and timely story. Melina Matsoukas, who directed the pilot, did an incredible job bringing it to life with Diane Lane and this stellar cast."

The cast includes Diane Lane, Barry Keoghan, Imogen Poots, Lashana Lynch, Juliana Canfield, Marin Ireland, and Amber Tamblyn. Who else is excited for Y: The Last Man?
