Over a year after hiring Michael Green (Logan) to act as the showrunner for the live-action adaptation of Y: The Last Man, FX has finally ordered a pilot for the series. Green will be joined by Aida Mashaka Croal (Jessica Jones) who will act as a co-showrunner. The writer of the hit comic series, Brian K. Vaughan, will also be acting as an executive producer on the show.
The series, like the comic, will be set in a post-apocalyptic future where all living mammals with a Y chromosome have simultaneously died off, with the exception of Yorick Brown and his Capuchin monkey, Ampersand. The pilot for the adaptation will be directed by Melina Matsoukas (Insecure).
No other details on the series have been released, but should it receive a series order it will join FX’s other comic book adaptation, Legion.
This is very exciting news for fans of the comic series and is another step forward for the project, which has been in development for years.
