Y: Showrunners Leave FX Series Based on Comic Book

by Jessica Pena, April 16, 2019

It’s another setback for Y: The Last Man fans. Deadline reports showrunners Aida Mashaka Croal and Michael Green have left the planned FX TV show.

Based on comic by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, the drama series (titled just Y) “is set in a postapocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event has decimated every male save for one lone human.” The cast includes Diane Lane, Barry Keoghan, Imogen Poots, Lashana Lynch, Juliana Canfield, Marin Ireland, and Amber Tamblyn.

On social media, Croal released a statement saying FX has decided not to move forward with their version of Y: The Last Man. This doesn’t mean the series is cancelled, however. FX is currently searching for a new showrunner.
