Y: THE LAST MAN Has Been Canceled at FX After Season 1
After just one season, the post-apocalyptic series Y: The Last Man has been canceled at FX. The series was adapted from Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerrara’s comic book of the same name, and it follows the survivors of a cataclysmic event that kills every animal on Earth with a Y chromosome except for one cisgender man (Ben Schnetzer) and his monkey. The series main cast also includes Diane Lane, Ashley Romans, Olivia Thirlby, Juliana Canfield, Elliot Fletcher, Marin Ireland, Amber Tamblyn, and Diana Bang.
The news of the cancelation was given by the showrunner, Eliza Clark, who posted on Twitter, saying:
“We have learned that we will not be moving forward with FX on Hulu for Season 2 of ‘Y: The Last Man.’ I have never in my life been more committed to a story, and there is so much more left to tell. We had a gender diverse team of brilliant artists, led by women at almost every corner of our production… It is the most collaborative, creatively fulfilling and beautiful thing I have ever been a part of. We don’t want it to end.”
It’s a bummer that the creators didn’t get to tell the whole story that they set out to create. This was a large scale series with a great cast, so maybe if the fans make a big enough deal, the show could move to a streamer or another cabler. We will have to wait and see. Would you like to see Y: The Last Man come back for another season?
