Y: THE LAST MAN Ordered To Series At FX As First Official Image Is Released Online

It's been a long time coming, but Brian K. Vaughan's beloved comic series Y: The Last Man is finally on its way to the screen. FX has announced that the adaptation has officially been picked up to series.

We found out earlier tonight that the upcoming third season of Legion would be its last, but FX has announced that another beloved comic book adaptation has been ordered to series, which should soften the blow a little.

It's been a while since we heard anything about the planned small-screen take on Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man, but THR has now confirmed that the show has been picked up, and should premiere sometime in 2020. We also have the first official still, which features Yorick (presumably) walking the grim, post-outbreak streets along with his Capuchin monkey, Ampersand.

Yorick Brown will be played by Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk), who recently made a splash with his chilling performance in The Killing of a Sacred Deer. He'll be supported by Man of Steel's Diane Lane as Yorick's mother, Senator Jennifer Brown. In addition, Imogen Poots (Fright Night) will play Yorick's older sister Hero, and Captain Marvel actress Lashana Lynch is on board as fan-favourite character Agent 355.

"Y: The Last Man is a towering achievement among graphic novel storytelling and it’s been rewarding to work with this outstanding team,” FX president of original programming Nick Grad said. “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.”

About damn time. I remember Dan Trachtenberg was attached to this years ago before he did 10 Cloverfield Lane

Confession: I've never read this. It was always something I meant to pick up but just never got around to it.

@RorMachine - Worth it. Do you have a library near you? Many have a graphic novel section and will order what you want.

Interesting... I wonder what FX/FXX's lineup will look like, post-merger?

It's Always Sunny (who knows if/when that will ever end...)
Legion (one more season - S03)
Snowfall has been renewed for S03 (the guys that directed this show are the ones making the new Bad Boys For Life movie)
Better Things has been renewed for S03 (Pamela Adlon's show - she played Bobby Hill in King of the Hill and was in Louie for awhile - Louis CK is STILL an executive producer on that show)
American Horror Story S09 (hasn't been renewed yet, but I'm sure it will be)
Mayans M.C. will be back for S02
Baskets has been renewed for S03
Atlanta has been renewed for S03
American Crime Story has been renewed for S03 and will reportedly focus on Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath (2005)

Fargo S04 will reportedly commence production in the Fall/Winter 2019, so we won't see it until AT LEAST 2020.
