Y: THE LAST MAN: TV Adaptation Being Developed By FX

Y: The Last Man

Y: The Last Man Heading to FX as a Live-Action TV Series. After years of development into making Y: The Last Man as a film, the dystopian comic book series will move from film to TV as FX has picked up the rights to the franchise and is looking to develop a TV adaptation.

It has been a long road for Y: The Last Man to be made into a film, but now it looks like the comic book adaptation will be getting life on the small screen according to The Hollywood Reporter. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson will be producing the potential series for FX with comic book scribe Brian K. Vaughan involved with writing the producing. FX has been behind the success of television shows such as Sons of Anarchy, American Horror Story, and The Strain so there is a possibility that Y: The Last Man may become the next big hit for the network.
