Y: The Last Man Gets Cancelled – A Heavy Loss
Showrunner’s Heartfelt Announcement
Showrunner Eliza Clark took to Twitter and let the fans tear up:
- “We have learned that we will not be moving forward with FX on Hulu for season two 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,”
- “FX has been an amazing partner. We have loved working with them, and we’re sad Y: The Last Man is not going forward at FX on Hulu. But we know that someone else is going to be very lucky to have this team and this story. I never experienced the remarkable solidarity of this many talented people. We are committed to finding Y its next home. #YLivesOn.”
Amber Tamblyn Reacts
Capable actress Amber Tamblyn voices her disappointment, but keeps the hope alive:
- “While I’m disappointed, I know this extraordinary show that has so much to say will find a great new home soon. Looking forward to the next chapter. If you’re with me, let the world know. #YLivesOn,”
What Is Y: The Last Man?
Based on Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s comic, the series takes you into a post‑apocalyptic universe where a catastrophic event wiped out every mammal with a Y chromosome – except for Yorick Brown and his trusty pet monkey.
The show follows Yorick and the handful of survivors as they wrestle with:
- Restoring what was lost
- Building something even better in a world that’s been dramatically rewritten
Season One Still Rolls Out
Even after cancellation, the rest of season one is available on Hulu, giving fans a chance to finish the story it started.
Next Steps
The team is actively hunting for a new home, so keep your fingers crossed – Y: The Last Man might just find a fresh stage to continue its journey. #YLivesOn!
