The popular comic book Y: The Last Man might finally come to life as a television series at FX….
For years, Brian K. Vaughan’s popular dystopian comic Y: The Last Man was all the rage in Hollywood with everyone from television and film champing at the bit to bring the book to life on the big or small screen.
Now the series finally has new life and it looks like Y: The Last Man will end up as a new series on FX.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Vaughan is currently developing the series at FX to bring Y: The Last Man to the cable network as an ongoing series.
Y: The Last Man follows the story of Yorick Brown — an amateur escape artist who along with his pet Capuchin monkey Ampersand are the last two known living males on Earth after some sort of plague wipes out anything and everything with a ‘Y’ chromosome.
The comic book series ran for 60 total issues between 2002 and 2008.
The post-apocalyptic comic book was hailed as one of the best of all time and helped launch Vaughan’s career where he eventually ended up working on TV series such as Lost and Under the Dome.
Now it appears Vaughan will finally get to bring Y: The Last Man to television after the project jumped around for years and at one point even had Shia LeBeouf attached the star in the leading role as Yorick.
Vaughn just recently got the rights back to Y: The Last Man after the series toiled away from years at New Line while the studio attempted to attached several writers and directors to the project but ultimately never got it off the ground.
While FX has dabbled in science fiction and fantasy before — most notably The Strain, which currently airs on the network — this would be a massive land as Y: The Last Man is considered one of the best comic books of all time and fans have voraciously asked for the series for years and now it looks like it might finally happen!
