The news has just been released that FX Networks has ordered a pilot for Y, as new series based upon the post-apocalyptic science fiction comic book series “Y: The Last Man”. Melina Matsoukas will direct the pilot, which will be produced by FX Productions.
Michael Green (American Gods, Blade Runner 2049, Logan) and Aida Mashaka Croal (Luke Cage, Turn) will serve as Co-Showrunners and will Executive Produce along with Matsoukas (Insecure, Master of None, Beyonce: Formation), Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force (American Crime Story, Pose, The Hunger Games) and Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Marvel’s Runaways, Saga), who have been working together to develop the series.
All of the men are dead. But one. Based on the DC comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, “Y” traverses a world of women — exploring gender, race, class and survival.
“Y: The Last Man” is a 60-issue science fiction comic book series published beginning in 2002. It received three Eisner Awards, and received the first Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story for Volume 10.
No word yet on the planned release date, but we can definitely expect to be hearing more news and updates coming soon!
