Back in April FX Networks ordered a pilot based on the acclaimed post-apocalyptic science fiction comic book series Y: The Last Man, and now The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Barry Koeoghan (Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) will star as the titular Yorick Brown, a role earmarked for Shia LaBeouf a decade ago.
Y: The Last Man is a 60-issue science fiction comic book series published beginning in 2002.
Based on the DC comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, Y: The Last Man traverses a world of women — exploring gender, race, class and survival.
It received three Eisner Awards, and received the first Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story for Y: The Last Man, Volume 10.
