Brian K. Vaughanand Pia Guerra ’s darling Vertigo comicY : The Last Mandid not have an wanton road to its hot - action adaptation . Over the course of14 years , there was a doomed movie , rights switcharoos , multiple rewording , and a pandemic that delayed it getting on cover in any data formatting . But it took less than eight weeks for the show to becanceled . As it ferment out , the two thing are intimately link up .
In a capital clause over atthe Hollywood Reporter , Leslie Goldberg explain FX on Hulu ’s conclusion to ax the show it had spent year and years trying to make . There ’s a lot of inside baseball , but it really boil down to two things : time and money . FX originally ordered Y to serial back in February of 2019 , but creative differences between the showrunners and the connection , along with needing to reforge Eternals star Barry Keoghan after his breakout role in Dunkirk , delay thing immensely . After hiring Eliza Clark to spearhead the series , Ben Schnetzer was cast as Yorick in February 2020 … and you know what happened then . Meanwhile , FX had to keep pay the cast to abide onboard through the delays .
And that ’s the kicker , as FX had to decide whether to spend $ 3 million to gallop the options on the casting by October 15 , concisely after the show ’s 7th instalment aired . As THR explains : “ finally , FX brass decline to pay $ 3 million to further extend options on the Y cast as execs did not want to pass on the casting in limbo yet again . The cancellation conclusion was , per seed , not based on viewership figures as Hulu , like other streamers , does not release traditional rating information . That mean FX had little to no data on which to evaluate the series , including how it performed in its entirety over a certain timeframe , etc . ” ( That include people orgy - watch the show after it fully vent on November 1 , for the phonograph recording . )

If you ’re a fan of the series , I would n’t occupy too much about the show not get a second time of year . Showrunner Eliza Clark say , “ I ’ve never in my life-time been more committed to a story , and there is so much more to severalise ” after the announcement of the cancelation . Also , sources say HBO Max is a probable home for the series , which makes sense afford that yttrium : The Last Man was a DC comedian ( via its Vertigo embossment ) and HBO Max is home to all things DC Comics , since both are owned by Warner Bros. If HBO decided to make a new time of year of Titans , I ca n’t imagine it wo n’t chute at the chance to add Y to its lineup . The penultimate sequence of Y : The Last Man — for now — airs on Monday , October 25 .
