After several abortive attempts to bring the series to life, the first trailer for Y: The Last Man is here and it exceeds all expectations.
After at least one failed attempt to adapt the series to television before, we’re finally getting the story of Y: The Last Man brought to life as the first trailer has been revealed, along with a release date of September 13th.
If you’re not familiar with the story of Y: The Last Man, imagine the following scenario: one day, out of the blue, every single organism on earth with a Y chromosome, i.e. all the males, drop dead. Civilization as we know it grinds to a halt. Until it turns out that ONE male did in fact survive….
It’s a grim story to be sure, but one that promises plenty of intrigue that could be drawn out for seasons to come. The overriding question of course is, how did every male creature on Earth simply drop dead? And how did just one survive?
Based on DC Comics’ acclaimed series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, Y: The Last Man traverses a post-apocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event decimates every mammal with a Y chromosome but for one cisgender man and his pet monkey. The series follows the survivors in this new world as they struggle with their efforts to restore what was lost and the opportunity to build something better.
Y: The Last Man premieres on FX on Hulu on September 13, 2021.
