Live-action adaptations of Y: The Last Man have been so long coming, we barely noticed FX’s TV take fell behind.
Understandably, Y: The Last Man would fall into the same increasingly-relevant space as Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, but will the revamped version feel any different?
New Line had earlier acquired the rights in in 2007, setting David Goyer, Carl Ellsworth and director D.J. Caruso to adapt Y: The Last Man as a single film, before rights reverted to Vaughan in 2014.
It would have been a very different show, and very different development process, had the election not been as horrifying as it was.
