In April, we learned that FX’s television adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man comic series had hit a snag when showrunners Aida Mashaka Croal and Michael Green left the project over creative differences.

Despite this major shake-up, the network had yet to give up on the show, and now FX has recruited Eliza Clark (Animal Kingdom, The Kingdom) to step in and fulfill the role of showrunner.

To go along with this announcement, Clark released an official statement, expressing her excitement for the project and her love for the source material.

“A decade ago, I devoured the complete Y: The Last Man series cover to cover, imagining how it might take shape on screen. It introduced me to the amazing work of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra and the complex, fascinating world of Y. I’m thrilled to tell this story and to be working with this immensely talented cast.”

While there has been no official word on whether the series will retain any elements from the previous showrunners' work, the pilot is expected to undergo some serious changes with Clark at the helm.

FX’s forthcoming Y: The Last Man show is based on the 60-issue series of the same name from Vertigo Comics and features a cast that includes Diane Lane, Barry Keoghan, Imogen Poots, Lashana Lynch, and Juliana Canfield.

For a while in history, people didn't really have family names. Peasants and serfs and whatnot were just John, or Sarah. Mostly they'd be refered to by their occupation. John the Smith, Sarah the Baker. Eventually those occupations became family names, which is why there are so many Smiths and Bakers.

I bring that up mostly because that's the first thought I had when I read that Imogen Poots was part of this cast.

I think I am going to give this a chance. I liked what FX did with Legion so this will fulfill the comic book aspect, plus I'm fresh to this property so the TV show will be my introduction to it.
